New bites & sips to check out in Singapore in January 2026
We’re well into the new year, and besides new resolutions, it’s also a great time to check out the wave of new menus across Singapore, as dining spots enter the new year with updated offerings.
With new spaces opening almost every day, it’s easy to feel spoiled for choice, so much so that deciding where to eat can feel like a task in itself. For those days, how about visiting familiar favourites and see what’s new on the menu instead?
From Chinese New Year-themed bites and pop-ups in cafes to menu revamps and additions, here are some new menus worth checking out around town this month:
1. The Feather Blade’s croissant burgers
Popular Tanjong Pagar steak specialist The Feather Blade has just added croissant burgers to its lunch menu, available daily from 11.45am to 2.30pm. And the best bit? It’s a permanent menu introduction!
The brand is trading its usual brioche bun used for its burgers for Bakery Brera’s flaky, buttery croissants instead, and offering it in two variants: A double cheese burger croissant burger (S$18) and a steak with egg mayo croissant burger (S$24).
The former is a classic flavour-packed combo, bringing together a 200g juicy beef patty, molten smoked cheddar cheese, caramelised onion, and the steakhouse’s signature sauce. The latter features an oh-so-comforting ensemble of 100g signature Feather Blade steak, sweet red Bombay onions, and egg mayonnaise.
Whichever protein choice you opt for, they’re solid picks and generously portioned, too — and for the CBD area, we reckon it’s also a solid bang for your buck!
2. Wong Fu Fu x Hangyodon pop-up
Halal-certified Wong Fu Fu in Bugis is no stranger to hosting viral pop-pops. You might have recalled seeing its 10-litre Giga milk tea or even its recent nostalgia-inducing Crayon Shin-chan pop-up sometime last year, making its rounds on social media.
This time, the cafe is making a big blue splash with Hangyodon — the half-man, half-fish Sanrio character — and it has not only decked out its entire outlet in themed decor, but is also serving up exclusive dishes, and merchandise. It’s only happening till end-March, so come down while you can!
If there’s anything you should go for, it’s its chilled ramen (S$23.90), served with a smoked duck salad. Not only does it come in a Hangyodon-embellished bowl, it also comes with a complimentary Hangyodon figurine nestled in a felt cone. (Yes, you can bring that home!)
For other cute themed items, try the Ocean Feast (S$24.90), which features pea flower pearl rice swimming in a seafood chowder, adorably plated in the likeness of Hangyodon. It also comes with fried seafood favourites such as prawn tempura and calamari rings.
Here’s our honest take on the Hangyodon pop-up at Wong Fu Fu.
3. Chegoya and Pizza Maru — Plaza Singapura
If you’re a fan of Korean pizza specialist Pizza Maru, then you’ll want to pay attention to this: It has recently refreshed its Plaza Singapura outlet, and introduced a new concept, while at it. Named Chegoya, this concept introduces comforting Korean classics such as stews and rice bowls, which you can have with your pizzas from Pizza Maru.
Essentially both concepts are still located within the same fourth-floor space at Plaza Singapura, and while there is a demarcation between them, you can order from either, no matter where you sit. The free-flow side dishes that Chegoya has, however, will only be available if you order its dishes.
That’s not to say there isn’t anything exciting at this revamped Pizza Maru space. The pizza makers have introduced the red corn pizza (S$19.90), an exclusive to its Plaza Singapura outlet, to spice things up. It’s an item that used to only be available in Korea, so if you’re a huge Pizza Maru fan, you’ll want to make a beeline down to Plaza Singapura, stat.
4. Burma Social’s weekend bottomless brunch
Pan-Asian restaurant Burma Social is entering the new year with a weekend bottomless brunch menu exclusive to its Siglap outlet. For the uninitiated, the concept brings together flavours not just from the Burmese cuisine, but also from its neighbouring countries — India, China, Thailand, Bangladesh, and Laos.
All you need to do is order a main (S$28 for one, S$38 for two) from a selection of 12 dishes to “unlock” 90 minutes of unlimited momos (U.P. S$18) and samosas. The momos are available with minced chicken or vegetable fillings, while the samosas are vegetarian.
If you’ve never been, you’ll want to try its mains such as the mala veg wok where zucchini, broccoli, tofu, lotus stem, and baby spinach coated in a bold, Sichuan-style sauce, or the Burmese tohu, where chickpea flour is steamed and fried into crisp and nutty blocks that nod to Burmese-Thai influences and familiar chai tow kway (carrot cake) flavours.
Or, go for the restaurant’s seafood signature Burmese noodles, featuring rice-wheat noodles wok-fried with vegetables, prawns, aromatics, and gentle mala spices for a familiar, comforting dish.
Whether you’re a fan of Burmese fare, or are just looking for something new, this brunch menu is an ideal choice for a leisurely weekend lunch with friends and family — and promises a hearty and satisfying meal at great value, too.
5. McDonald’s CNY “lohei” set
Chinese New Year may be a month away but McDonald’s Singapore is getting into the festive spirit with its own unique take on the communal lohei, and also introducing some special plushies to the mix.
Its Lohei treasure box (from S$28.80) launches at 11am on January 22, and comes built for sharing with three large Twister Fries, two sets of four-piece McWings, and a 20-piece Chicken McNuggets. Oh, and did we mention the nuggets come in two flavours, too? You can opt for the all-new garlic pepper, the classic original, or a mix of both.
There’s also a line-up of adorable new merchandise — Prosperity Pals plushies that will be available from January 29 for S$8.80 with any meal ordered in-store, along with complimentary red packets and a rewards card loaded with enticing treats.

6. KFC’s la zi ji chicken
Joining the brands jumping into the festive fray, fried-chicken chain KFC has just launched a Chinese New Year menu from now till February 25 — perfect for your festive gatherings.
At the forefront of the line-up is the peppery la zi ji crunch (from S$4.80) and la zi ji bites (from S$4.45), both of which come loaded with dried red chilli, chilli oil, and numbing peppercorns — pure bliss for the spice lovers.
You can also grab a bag of the new crispy mala lotus root chips (from S$1.80), an addictive snack on the side, and round things off with a mango pomelo sago pie (from S$1.80) filled with sweet, creamy mango sago filling for a full-on CNY experience.
Want something fun to talk about at those festive visits? KFC is also rolling out fortune cat blind box merchandise, Huat Paws, available from January 14 at S$8.80 with any dine-in or takeaway purchase.
7. The Winery Gourmet Bar menu revamp
The Winery Gourmet Bar has long been a go-to wine destination for the vino lovers in the east — afterall the Siglap spot is well-known and loved for its European plates and cellar-led dining experience.
Well, it’s switching things up after 12 years. Its newly refreshed menu marks a step towards more contemporary flavours, with a stronger emphasis on seasonal, produce-driven cooking. Updated with modern touches, its new offerings are designed to pair seamlessly with the concept’s extensive wine selection.
Highlights from the new menu include the trout tartare with brioche (S$24), a light and refined starter that pairs naturally sweet trout, almond crunch and herbaceous notes. There’s also the butter-poached ocean halibut (S$36), cooked until just tender, served with seasonal greens and shellfish, and finished with a rich, glossy sauce.
For something heartier, the Iberico pork loin (S$38) is a more substantial main, and a solid option for those craving a meat-forward dish to go with a glass (or bottle, maybe) of wine.
