Dragon Boat Festival · Fragrance of Jian Nan Chun

To celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, Singapore China Baijiu Pte Ltd curated a special “Jian Nan Chun in Cuisine” experience, using Sichuan-inspired dishes as a medium to blend traditional festival culture with baijiu flavour.

The event invited chefs from CHUĀN Bistro in Singapore to co-create a menu incorporating Jian Nan Chun into multiple dishes. Through this “cooking with baijiu” approach, the aroma and character of the spirit were extended into layered culinary expressions.

Guests from both China and Singapore joined the tasting and exchange session, where the chef also shared his inspiration and approach to flavour design.

This Dragon Boat Festival themed experience focused on integrating Jian Nan Chun into Sichuan-style cooking, highlighting the concept of “baijiu in cuisine, flavour in harmony” allowing the spirit to run through the entire dining experience.

A total of nine dishes were presented, showcasing both cold and hot preparations:
