Solaire Resort Entertainment City’s Red Lantern is set to host an exclusive three-night culinary event with Singapore’s Michelin-starred Chef Zor Tan from November 14 to 16 at 6:30 PM.

This is a rare opportunity for diners in the Philippines to experience the innovative cooking of a chef whose Singapore restaurant, Born, was ranked No. 25 in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2024.

Chef Tan will personally present an 8-course tasting menu that embodies his acclaimed “Circle of Life” philosophy. His cuisine—known for its bold, unexpected flavors drawn from Hokkien heritage, Cantonese, Sichuan, and Taiwanese traditions—turns food into storytelling. Every dish is a chapter, reflecting pivotal moments from his childhood, travels, and professional journey.

Setting the scene for this extraordinary culinary experience is Red Lantern, celebrated for its elegant ambiance and exquisite Chinese fare. The restaurant’s sophisticated setting beautifully complements the artistry of Chef Tan’s innovative dishes.

The centerpiece is the exclusive 8-course menu, a vivid tapestry of the chef’s life and influences. Guests begin with the symbolic Kanpachi with ginger and watermelon radish, a fresh tossed raw fish salad inspired by the Lunar New Year. The meal continues with deeply personal creations, such as the reinvented bao with Wagyu and oyster, a signature dish that connects his mother’s cooking to his professional time in Spain, and his beloved chestnut velouté with black garlic and macadamia.

Innovations continue with a luxurious abalone dish featuring chicken fat and high-quality jade fungus. A nod to local flavor arrives with the King Crab and fish maw course, specially created for Solaire to include flavorful Filipino Talangka rice. The savory courses culminate with luscious A5 Wagyu finished with Soubise (a French onion purée) and Maitake mushrooms. The experience ends on a sweet high note with two desserts: one featuring Bird’s Nest with grape and elderflower, and his signature sweet potato masterpiece, complete with sea salt ice cream and oolong Chantilly.
