The Story Behind Our Private Dining Menus: Bintang, Bulan & Matahari

 

Private dining at Nanyang Blossom is more than just a luxurious meal — it’s a curated experience designed to celebrate connection, culture, and flavour.

Our three private dining menus — Bintang (Star), Bulan (Moon), and Matahari (Sun) — aren’t just poetic names. They represent three distinct journeys through Southeast Asian cuisine, each crafted with purpose and personality by Chef Daren Liew.

Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner, a milestone birthday, or a corporate event in Knightsbridge, here’s the story behind our most exclusive culinary offerings — and how to choose the one that suits your occasion best.


🌟 Bintang: The Star of Shared Culture

Bintang, meaning star in Malay, is inspired by the joy of sharing. This menu celebrates the heart of Southeast Asian dining: communal meals, big flavours, and bold combinations.

Highlights:

  • Salt & Pepper Soft-Shell Crab

  • Josper-Grilled Baba Chicken

  • Seafood Fried Rice with XO Sauce

  • Kerabu Pomelo Salad

Designed for groups and celebrations, Bintang is ideal for guests who want to try a little bit of everything. Every dish arrives family-style, encouraging conversation, laughter, and a few friendly chopstick battles.

“If you want the full Southeast Asian experience — start here.”


🌙 Bulan: Refined Elegance Under the Moon

Bulan means moon, and this menu reflects a more elegant, intimate, and refined experience. Think premium ingredients, balanced plating, and a slower, more curated pace.

Highlights:

  • Wok-Baked Canadian Lobster with Tiger Chilli Brioche

  • Beef Rendang with Kerisik

  • Crispy Scallops in Garlic Butter & Chilli Sauce

  • Wasabi Pea Salsa & Pickled Okra

Bulan is a favourite for romantic occasions, VIP guests, and those with a taste for nuance. It’s designed to be enjoyed slowly, with wine or sake pairings that complement each dish.

“Bulan feels like a dinner under candlelight — rich, emotional, and beautifully composed.”


☀️ Matahari: A Feast in Full Bloom

Matahari, meaning sun, is our most luxurious offering. It’s Chef Daren’s personal celebration of the full spectrum of Southeast Asian cuisine — from earthy spice pastes to elegant seafood finishes.

Highlights:

  • Chrysanthemum-Smoked A4 Miyazaki Wagyu Beef

  • Live Grouper in Teochew Broth

  • Nutmeg King Prawns with Orange Liqueur Glaze

  • Pomelo Salad & Garlic Chive Dumplings

Matahari is a multi-course tasting experience designed for once-in-a-lifetime moments — anniversaries, business closings, or when you simply want to impress.

Every detail, from the amuse-bouche to the final dessert, is created to wow.

“A culinary journey from start to finish — if food can be theatre, this is it.”
