Thingyan, also known as the Burmese New Year, is a celebration of the transition from the old year to the new one. One of the main highlights and traditions is splashing water on yourself and others to wash away any bad luck from the previous year, and Club Rangoon is bringing that playful energy to Duxton. For one day only, the restaurant turns into a festive playground with water gun stations and happy hour pours. On the menu are Thingyan dishes such as aromatic pork sausages, smoky chicken gizzard skewers, caramelised pork belly curry, and Burmese-style steak tartare. Finish it off with some mont lone yay paw, a chewy rice ball dessert stuffed with jaggery and rolled in coconut flakes.
As you celebrate under the afternoon sun, there’s also a thanaka corner where you’re welcomed to discover and apply the traditional Burmese cooling paste made from ground tree bark for extra sun protection. Meanwhile, keeping you entertained throughout are DJs Hiddy and Zai, whose playlists feature a mix of Southeast Asian funk, soul, disco, and hip-hop.
