When it comes to Teochew cuisine in Singapore, there are not many names that consistently come up among food lovers who appreciate traditional flavours done properly. One of those names is Zui Yu Xuan Teochew Cuisine, located right in the heart of Far East Square along Amoy Street. Known for its refined take on heritage Teochew dishes, it is a spot that tends to attract both office crowds during lunch hours and families or groups looking for a more relaxed, quality dining experience in the evenings.
From 4 May to 31 May 2026, there is a rather interesting promotion running that is worth noting, especially for those who enjoy premium Chinese seafood dishes without wanting to pay full price. With OCBC card payments, diners can enjoy 20% off one of the restaurant’s signature items – the Braised Abalone, Sea Cucumber and Eight Treasures Seafood in Claypot, which usually comes with a price tag of $118 before GST and service charge.
For those who are familiar with this type of dish, it is not something commonly ordered casually. It is usually reserved for group celebrations, business meals, or special family gatherings. That is exactly why this promotion stands out. It gives a more accessible way to enjoy a dish that is typically seen as indulgent and premium.
A closer look at the dish
The Braised Abalone, Sea Cucumber and Eight Treasures Seafood in Claypot is not just a mouthful in name alone. It is also a dish that is layered with different textures and flavours. Abalone brings a firm yet tender bite, while sea cucumber offers that soft, slightly gelatinous texture that absorbs the braised sauce beautifully. The “eight treasures” seafood combination adds depth and variety, usually featuring ingredients like prawns, scallops, mushrooms, and other seafood elements that make every spoonful slightly different from the last.
Served in a claypot, the dish retains heat longer, allowing the flavours to continue developing as diners eat. This is particularly enjoyable in a group setting where conversations flow and the dish remains warm throughout the meal.
At full price, this is not something most people would order frequently. However, with a 20% discount applied, it becomes a much more attractive option for those who want to experience a premium dish without stretching the dining budget too far.
Why this promotion is worth attention
Dining promotions in Singapore are not unusual, but what makes this particular offer interesting is the combination of location, quality, and accessibility.
First, the restaurant sits in Far East Square, a convenient spot for those working around Raffles Place, Telok Ayer, and Chinatown. This makes it an easy choice for weekday lunches or after-work dinners without needing to travel far.
Second, Teochew cuisine is often known for its clean, subtle flavours rather than heavy seasoning. It appeals to diners who prefer dishes that are comforting but not overwhelming. In a food scene where bold and spicy flavours often dominate attention, Teochew cooking provides a refreshing contrast.
Third, the promotion itself requires a minimum spend of $100 on à la carte items, which is fairly reasonable given the restaurant’s positioning. It also applies to both dine-in and takeaway, although availability is while stocks last. This flexibility means diners can either enjoy a sit-down experience or bring the dish home for a more private meal.
OCBC card requirement and terms
To enjoy the 20% discount, payment must be made using an OCBC credit or debit card. This is a common structure for bank-led dining promotions, where cardholders are rewarded with exclusive savings.
As with most promotions of this nature, there are a few conditions attached. The discount is not valid in conjunction with other promotions, vouchers, or membership privileges. Prices are also subject to GST and service charge, which is standard across most dine-in restaurants in Singapore.
It is also worth noting that the restaurant’s terms and availability apply, and the promotion is valid only from 4 May to 31 May 2026. Once the promotion period ends, regular pricing will resume.
Who this deal is best for
This promotion is particularly appealing to a few groups of diners.
For office workers in the Central Business District, it offers a convenient option for client lunches or team dinners without needing to overthink where to go. The restaurant’s proximity to major MRT stations makes it easy to access even during busy weekdays.
For families, it provides an opportunity to enjoy a more premium dish that might not usually be ordered at full price. Sharing a claypot dish like this is also ideal for communal dining, which aligns well with Teochew dining culture.
For food enthusiasts, especially those who enjoy trying traditional Chinese dishes with heritage value, this is a chance to experience a well-prepared claypot specialty at a reduced cost.
The dining experience
Beyond the promotion itself, what makes a visit to Zui Yu Xuan Teochew Cuisine enjoyable is the overall dining atmosphere. The restaurant maintains a relatively calm and comfortable setting compared to more crowded modern eateries. It is not overly flashy, but instead focuses on presenting food in a way that respects tradition.
Service tends to be attentive without being intrusive, which makes it suitable for both casual meals and more formal dining occasions. The pacing of dishes is also generally well-managed, allowing diners to enjoy their meal without feeling rushed.
A practical way to enjoy premium dining
One of the challenges with premium Chinese dining in Singapore is balancing quality with cost. Dishes featuring ingredients like abalone and sea cucumber are not everyday meals for most households, yet they remain highly desirable for special occasions.
This promotion bridges that gap slightly by reducing the cost barrier. While it still requires a minimum spend and OCBC card usage, the savings make it more realistic for people who want to enjoy something a little more indulgent without turning it into a major expense.
It also encourages group dining, which is often the best way to enjoy claypot dishes. When shared among several people, the cost per person becomes more manageable, and the experience becomes more social and enjoyable.
