Tossing into the brand new year, the Lou Sang is that fun starter you wouldn’t want to miss. Tantalising sauce along with the mix of assorted texture from the crackers and julienne vegetables and fruits to go with slices of raw salmon slices, is the great start to a better year; and better yet, the perfect start for this CNY course line up.

 

 

There is the exciting Yee Sang Selections, such as; Fruity Veggie Yee Sang (vegetarian), Salmon Yee Sang, Butterfish Yee Sang or Hokkaido Scallops Yee Sang. Priced from RM65+ per portion.

 

 

And for guests who wish to indulge in exclusive set menus, from 19th January till 5th March 2015, Chef Chiew and his team has whipped up four spectacular Prosperity Set Menus (minimum table of 10 pax) ideal for family, friends or business.

 

The Sharks fin soup is in traditional culture, served as a symbol of wealth and while some strongly oppose this ingredient, it is inevitable the need to meet this demand. Other harvests from sea are equally as good as substitution since what you’ll also see in the lineup is some good fresh catch.

 

 

Steamed sea bass with ginger sauce serves a plump catch swimming in thick starchy ginger sauce. Ginger was lusciously providing a lot of flavor to the fish.

 

 

Chinese herbal chicken showcase this barn harvest soaking in herb gravy that could use a little more infusion of flavour. Having said that, the chicken was tender and a addition to the meal. Especially when pairing it with the next dish; the wholesome Fried Mixed Vegetables with Fatt Choy.

 

 

Of course the CNY courses must not be short of prawns. This fresh batch of Fried Prawn with Salted Eggs and Butter Flakes was delectably crunchy. And despite the mellow fragrance from the lotus leaf, matching the prawns with their very own Chinese New Year Lotus Rice seems right and compatible.

 

 

Finally, the sweet finishing into the brand new year; get dulcified with their lovely Red Bean Cream, along with Steamed Ninko and Chinese New Year Pancake.

 

 

Reunion set dinner is available at Rm 978++, Rm 1088++, Rm 1198++ and Rm 1308++
