Usher in the Chinese New Year with a grand countdown party at Shanghai Dolly. Singapore’s No. 1 mando-pop live music night club at Clarke Quay has a lively and entertaining programme lined up for February 15 (Thursday) to celebrate the dawn of the Year of the Dog.
The party will begin at 5pm with a dinner spread that includes Blossom Yu Sheng, which has an array of ingredients and choice of Baby Abalone ($68/$98), Crispy Fish Skin & Salmon ($48/$88) and Roasted Pork Knuckle ($48/$88). The menu also has Fa Cai Hot Pot ($50++) with a choice of Pig Stomach or Mala Soup. It is specially cooked with pork balls, pork belly, Japanese beancurd, long cabbage, Chinese dumplings, tomato silken tofu, fresh scallops and tiger prawns.
There is also the Bountiful Treasure Poon Choi (small $68++/large $188++) which comes in two styles. The festive pot has layers of delightful ingredients, including premium whole baby abalone, crawfish, fish maw, sea cucumber, fresh scallops, prawns and roasted duck, and a choice of Mala or Pork stock. You can also dig into Golden Cod with Tobikko Roe ($58++), which is an enjoyable preparation of delicately-poached cod fish served with seasonal broccoli, roe and egg with sauce.
“What better way to celebrate Chinese New Year than with the special dishes that our chefs have prepared,” said Gordon Foo, Managing Director of CityBar Holdings Limited, which owns Shanghai Dolly. “This spread has been a hit since we launched it on February 1. We have received rave reviews and these items will be available till March 3.”
The evening’s song-and-dance performances, featuring artistes from China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore, will be led by Chinese singer Kiki, who will do a farewell gig. Guests, expected to number more than 800, will get $8,888 worth of giveaways, including cash and bottle vouchers. The countdown will be from 11.45pm to 12.30am and the party will continue till 4am.
“I am looking forward to the countdown party at Shanghai Dolly,” said Gerald Tan, 32, a corporate lawyer. “I will be there with my group of family and friends. I just love the ambience of the place and I’m sure there will be great entertainment for us on February 15. Good food, music, fun and laughter – the place simply rocks!”

We offer music, food, beer, sports and much more under one roof and that too at prices that are unbeatable. The Chinese New Year period is a special occasion for us and our packages will be a treat to all those who come to Shanghai Dolly.”
