Carousel is bringing together a unique culinary showcase that pays tribute to the nation’s rich hawker heritage and beloved local flavours. From 4 July to  10 August 2025, Carousel will feature more than 30 new buffet dishes, including seven cocreation dishes in partnership with iconic Singaporean brands, each with a story deeply rooted in tradition and innovation.

Taste the Legacy of Local Flavours

  • 45-degree Truffle Poached Eggs and Black Pepper Crab Toast – In a special collaboration with heritage coffee brand Kim Guan Guan, Chef Chee Kian’s dish gives breakfast a fancy twist, featuring silky truffle-poached eggs and peppery crab layered between golden toasts. Best enjoyed with Kim Guan Guan’s signature kopi and tea brews, which will also be available at the restaurant.
  • Singapore Truffle Wagyu Beef Cheek Polo Bun – Inspired by how Golden Pillow 933 reinvented local bakes with its iconic curry-in-a-bun, Chefs Hua Kai and Saifullah present their own take: tender wagyu beef cheek wrapped in a soft polo bun and finished with a touch of truffle. This is where East meets West, and old meets new.
  • Soft-shell Crab Imperial XO Dried Scallop Vermicelli – Chef Kok Wai builds on the familiarity of staple convenient snacks with his umami-rich take on bee hoon, stirfried with dried scallops, XO sauce and soft-shell crab. A flavourful testament to a beloved staple of Cita Rasa, one of Singapore’s household names in the heritage snack scene.
  • Salmon Rillettes with Tobiko in Crispy Youtiao & Roti “Youtiao” John – With not one, but two creative interpretations, Chef Chin Siong reimagines traditional youtiao. The first features creamy salmon rillettes and tobiko tucked into crispy youtiao, while the second draws inspiration from the classic omelette sandwich, a roti “youtiao” John, filled with Japanese minced chicken and eggs. A tribute to You Tiao Man’s beloved local snack, these creations evoke hawker nostalgia while bringing it into a modern dining experience.
  • Chilli Crab Popiah – Late Chef Saiful recreates the classic popiah roll with a twist — filled with chilli crab, crispy beans, and fresh cucumber. Created in collaboration with Mr Popiah, this bite-sized delight honours the spirit of shared family feasts and Singapore’s hawker heritage.

This collaboration with iconic brands represents the best of Singapore’s culinary journey, from humble beginnings to nationally recognised labels. Carousel is proud to serve as the stage for this tribute, inviting guests to savour the past, present, and future of Singaporean food culture.

“For us, the best way to honour Singapore’s hawker heritage is through food, and these new creations reflect that, shaped by shared memories and crafted together with our partner brands. It’s our chefs’ way of celebrating the flavours we grew up with, now reimagined with a fresh touch. We hope every bite brings back memories, while creating new ones,” says Mr Dharmik Kumar, General Manager of Royal Plaza on Scotts.

Carousel chefs and local brand partners bring Singapore’s food heritage to life for SG60.
