15 Best Pen Cai 2026 Singapore Guide For Dine-In, Takeaway & Delivery

The coming Chinese New Year in 2026 – the Year of the Horse – will fall on the 17th February 2026. Given the current situation, you can expect an abundant selection from some of the top Chinese restaurants and hotels for pen cai  for your reunion dinner. As with previous years, there are establishments offering takeaway or islandwide delivery services for Chinese New Year reunion dinners. If you choose to dine-in, try to reserve early as many of the popular restaurants get booked out weeks in advance. 

Pen cai or Poon Choi is a traditional Cantonese dish comprised of a number of ingredients including meat, seafood and vegetables. Contrary to popular belief in Singapore, pen cai is not just consumed during Chinese New Year by Cantonese communities. Traditionally, pen cai is eaten during major festivals, religious rituals and even wedding banquets. In Singapore however, it is mostly eaten during the Lunar New Year as a symbol of harmony.

Without further ado, I’ve tried my best to list them down here for your convenience. This list will be expanded over the next few days as new establishments come onboard with their pen cai for CNY 2026 so bookmark this page for future reference.
