Megu Catering Concepts (Macpherson)

Marinated chilli conch, jellyfish, wakame salad, and fried ngoh hiang. The conch was something unfamiliar to me, it was chewy but not too hard. It was a tad spicy for me. The wakame salad was soft, springy and tasty. The fried ngoh hiang, came across to me as a pretty hard and not very flavourful fish cake.

The jellyfish was the highlight of the dish, it has a special textural crunch all of its own. I loved it the most as it was very cool and refreshing to the palate.

2. Prosperity Smoked Duck “Lo Hei”

21 views

An abundance of smoked duck, pickled ginger and mango, green and white radish, julienne of carrot pulps of pomelo, silver onion, lime, crackers, Chinese parsley, ground peanut, and fruity plum sauce,topped with sesame, salt, pepper and cinnamon.

I'm not usually a fan of eating lo hei and with the scare of raw fish, I'm glad that MEGU has gone with smoked duck instead. Something that is quite unique and they were quite pretty and added colour to the dish.

Tossing the lo hei is usually the highlight of the meal! The sauces weren't too sweet for my liking and the nuts with the crackers were plentiful! I had a crunch in every mouthful!

Check out the texture of the smoked duck. The smoked duck was packed into the cold bag with the dessert, so as to not be affected by the temperature of the hot food. The texture of the smoked duck was tender with a smokiness that doesn't overpower and not tough, which is usually my fear on eating these. The smoked duck slices were quite thick.

Tantalising Teriyaki Chicken

SHOUT ALL THE WISHES YOU CAN THINK OF! The yu sheng was indeed colourful and everyone agreed that it was one of our favourite yu shengs!

Sweet Potato Rice Paper Roll

Most caterers that serve teriyaki chicken tend to taste the same, I'm guessing everyone has the same chicken supplier, but NOT MEGU! I'm guessing their chicken is fresh? It tastes completely different from others I've tried. The teriyaki flavour was sharp and distinct even when you peel off the skin. The meat is extremely tender and sweet. Not one piece of meat was dry!

They were very generous with the fish and the fish chunks were huge! All the fish chunks were tender and fresh. The curry also wasn't spicy and it had the flavours of all the vegetables in the curry.

Despite really liking this dish, I just wished that the vegetables were slightly softer. They could've been boiled slightly longer to achieve this. Other than that, I loved their choice and ratio of vegetables and fish.

At first, I thought that this was salted egg! But nope! Nonetheless, the pumpkin flavour wasn't strong enough to be capture in every bite. The prawns were crunchy but as they were soggy, they weren't in the their shape. I think this could've been a star dish, if the flavour was more distinct. Nevertheless, since the prawns were so crunchy, I liked this!

Tientsin Cabbage with Mushroom Filling

The rolls were hard as they were no longer crispy by the time we ate it. Even though the curry, cabbage and rice were still piping hot. The sweet potato was soft and pretty much melted in my mouth, so that was the dish's saving grace. I pretty much threw them into the toaster to make them palatable.
