As the Lunar New Year approaches, many people in Singapore start looking beyond the usual reunion meals and traditional feasts. It becomes a season not only for family gatherings but also for discovering something new, whether that is a fresh dining spot or a limited-time menu that feels special enough to mark the occasion. For those who enjoy Western food with a bold local twist, ASTONS Specialities has stepped in with a festive offering that fits the mood perfectly.
To usher in the Year of the Horse, ASTONS Specialities has launched a Lunar New Year menu featuring two exclusive items that combine familiar Western comfort with flavours that Singaporeans love. Known for serving hearty meals at reasonable prices, ASTONS continues to keep things accessible while adding a celebratory touch to their menu. This time, they are leaning into popular Asian-inspired flavours like Mala and Mentaiko, giving diners something exciting to look forward to during the festive season.
What makes this promotion particularly appealing is how it strikes a balance between novelty and comfort. Instead of completely reinventing the menu, ASTONS has taken dishes that many people already enjoy and enhanced them with festive flavours. This makes the promotion suitable for both adventurous eaters and those who prefer something familiar but still want to try something new.
The Year of the Horse menu is available for a limited time from 27 January 2026 onwards, making it a timely reason to plan a casual meal with family, friends, or colleagues during the Lunar New Year period. Whether it is a quick lunch break, a relaxed dinner after shopping, or even a takeaway meal enjoyed at home, this festive menu fits neatly into busy schedules.
A Festive Upgrade to a Familiar Favourite
ASTONS Specialities has long been recognised in Singapore for offering generous portions and dependable quality at wallet-friendly prices. Their outlets are often bustling with diners looking for a satisfying Western meal without paying restaurant-level prices. With this Lunar New Year promotion, they have added a celebratory layer to that familiar experience.
The introduction of limited-time dishes helps keep the menu fresh and encourages diners to return, even if ASTONS is already part of their regular dining rotation. For the festive season, the focus is clearly on bold flavours that resonate with local tastes, which is where Mala and Mentaiko come into play.
These flavours are not just trendy; they have become staples in Singapore’s food scene. By incorporating them into Western-style dishes, ASTONS bridges the gap between East and West in a way that feels natural rather than forced.
Mala Beef Meatball Spaghetti ($13.90)
The standout dish on the Year of the Horse menu is undoubtedly the Mala Beef Meatball Spaghetti, priced at $13.90. This dish is designed for those who enjoy a bit of heat and are not afraid of bold seasoning.
The spaghetti is tossed in a fragrant Mala blend that delivers both spiciness and that signature numbing sensation that Mala lovers crave. Instead of overwhelming the palate, the flavour is balanced to complement the pasta rather than overpower it. The beef meatballs add a hearty element to the dish, making it filling enough to serve as a satisfying main meal.
What works particularly well here is the fusion approach. Pasta is familiar, comforting, and easy to enjoy, while the Mala seasoning introduces an element of excitement. The addition of cheese and fresh herbs helps round out the flavours, adding richness and aroma that ties everything together.
At $13.90, the price point remains accessible, especially considering the portion size that ASTONS is known for. Compared to many festive or limited-time menus that come with a premium price tag, this dish feels like good value for money, making it suitable for casual dining rather than a once-a-year splurge.
Mentaiko Tater Tots ($5.90)
No festive menu is complete without a good side dish, and the Mentaiko Tater Tots, priced at $5.90, fit the bill perfectly. These bite-sized potato treats are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, making them easy to share or enjoy on their own.
The highlight, of course, is the creamy Mentaiko sauce generously drizzled over the tater tots. The sauce adds a savoury, slightly briny richness that elevates what would otherwise be a simple side. Topped with Kizami Nori, the dish gains an extra layer of umami that complements the Mentaiko beautifully.
These tater tots work well as a side to the Mala Beef Meatball Spaghetti, but they are also suitable as a standalone snack. For those meeting friends for a casual catch-up or looking for something small to nibble on, this dish offers a festive twist without being too heavy.
At $5.90, it is also an easy add-on that does not significantly increase the overall bill, which is always appreciated during a season when expenses tend to add up.
Complete the Meal for $5.90
To make the dining experience even more satisfying, ASTONS Specialities offers a soup and drink combo for an additional $5.90. This option allows diners to turn their meal into a complete set without much extra cost.
The combo includes a serving of Cream of Mushroom Soup, which adds a warm and comforting element to the meal. It is a familiar choice that pairs well with both the pasta and the tater tots.
In addition, diners can choose a bottled Snapple drink, with flavours such as Grapeade, Pink Lemonade, and Mango Madness available. These refreshing options help balance the richness and spice of the festive dishes, making the overall meal feel more complete.
For those who enjoy value sets, this add-on is a practical choice that enhances the dining experience without stretching the budget.
Availability and Dining Options
One of the strengths of this promotion is its accessibility. The Year of the Horse menu is available for both dine-in and takeaway at participating ASTONS Specialities outlets. This flexibility caters to different dining preferences, whether diners prefer the atmosphere of eating out or the convenience of enjoying their meal at home.
No reservations are required, which makes it easy to drop by on a whim. However, given the festive season and the popularity of ASTONS, visiting during off-peak hours may offer a more relaxed experience.
As with many limited-time promotions, availability is while stocks last. Those keen on trying the festive dishes may want to plan their visit earlier rather than later to avoid disappointment.
Why This Festive Menu Is Worth Checking Out
During Lunar New Year, dining options often lean towards traditional cuisine, which can sometimes feel repetitive. ASTONS Specialities offers an alternative for those who want something different without straying too far from familiar comfort food.
This promotion stands out because it delivers festive flavours at everyday prices. The use of Mala and Mentaiko adds excitement, while the Western format keeps the dishes approachable. It is an ideal choice for mixed groups where not everyone may want traditional festive dishes.
Another reason to consider this promotion is its suitability for casual gatherings. Not every Lunar New Year meal needs to be a formal reunion dinner. Sometimes, a relaxed meal with friends or a quick lunch during a shopping trip is just as meaningful.
With prices starting at $5.90 for sides and $13.90 for a main, the menu remains budget-friendly, which is particularly appealing during a season when spending tends to increase. It also makes it easier to enjoy a festive meal without the pressure of a large bill.
Overall, the ASTONS Specialities Year of the Horse menu offers a practical yet exciting way to celebrate the Lunar New Year. It combines value, flavour, and convenience, making it a worthwhile option for those looking to enjoy the festive season in a more relaxed setting.
