During this media invite, we were treated to their Chinese New Year specials. There were a few sets avaliable but we had the chance to taste their recommended dishes.
风生水起（三文鱼鱼生) Prosperity Salmon Yu Sheng
A usual offering at all CNY dinner. Fresh fish coupled with fresh ingredients makes this dish a great start to the dinner.展翅高飞 (红烧蟹肉鱼翅) Shark's Fin Broth with Crab Meat & Conpoy
As mentioned by the host, this dish was specially created for the dinner, with a great broth accentuated with the crab meat and the dried scallops to give taste to the otherwise flat shark's fin富甲一方 (烤鸭) Signature Roasted Duck
Dian Xiao Er is famous for their signature herbal duck, and during this tasting, we got a trio of sauces to go along with the duck. The Ten Wonders sauce, Angelica Herb and Wild Ginseng. In the order of taste, I would say the Ginseng has the best overall flavor to complement the duck.遍地黄金 (金瓜奶黄焗小龙虾) Sauteed Baby Lobsters with Pumpkin Sauce
A very interesting combination dish, rarely served at CNY dinners. I would have to warn though, this dish might be slightly spicy for some, including me as well. Overall the pumpkin sauce is stirred well with salted egg and drizzled over the lobster to give that gold feel. Who doesn’t like gold during CNY ! Combined with the fresh lobster, definitely a great dish.年年有余 (港蒸斗鲳) HongKong Style Chinese Pomfret
Ah, the necessary fish dish for the festive season. Simple, but luxuriously done to bring out the flavours of the promfret.富贵荣华 (原粒鲍鱼极品锅) Luxurious Abalone Treasure Pot
What’s CNY without abalone! Braised in a unique special in-house chef's blend and slowly braised with ingredients like sea cucumber, fish maw and mushrooms. Brings out the luxurious feel and the meaning of celebrating the best with one's family.雪兆丰年 (红枣炖雪蛤) D-Boiled Hashima
The top of the line in chinese beauty product, only second to the bird's nest. The Hashima is slowly boiled and then placed in the chiller and served cold. Deliciously, lightly sweet yet tremendously beneficial. Perfect to end off the perfect CNY dinner.Post
