Szechwan stripes for the year of the Tiger
Here's all you need to know about Shisen Hanten's Lunar New Year 2022 menu
01.
Highest Michelin-rated Chinese Restaurant in Singapore
A restaurant rooted with a proud culinary history, Shisen Hanten’s story dates back to 1958 when it was founded by Chen Kenmin who is hailed as the “Father of Szechwan cuisine” in Japan. Following his retirement, eldest son, Chen Kenichi took over, gradually expanding the business across Japan with fresh ideas that earned him the “Szechwan Sage”. Taking over the legacy is third-generation Executive Chef, Chen Kentaro. Mentored by his father from young, Chef Kentaro’s knowledge is one that’s passed down and honed over the years. With his keen expertise in traditional Chinese fare, he has continued to elevate signature flavours of Shisen Hanten which eventually earned him two Michelin stars across 2016 – 2018, thus making it the highest Michelin-rated Chinese restaurant.
