Zuan Yuan, One World Hotel: A Feast of Chinese New Year Menus and Festive Lunar Dim Sum!

Usher in the Water Dragon year with a list of auspicious Yee Sangs, Set Menus & Dim Sum in the month of January and February at Zuan Yuan, One World Hotel!

One can expect nothing but the best at Zuan Yuan, a restaurant that showcases brilliant offerings with innovative themes each month. The restaurant has a great aura of simplicity and elegant with gorgeous chandeliers, classic ambience and private rooms to cater to all functions.

Here’s a sneak peak of Zuan Yuan’s Dragon Feast Set Menus priced from RM988++ per table of 8 – 10 persons.  Feast on auspiciously named dishes that will herald in prosperity, wealth, health and all good things in life.  

The obligatory Yee Sang has Zuan Yuan’s chef Michael featuring Yee Sang with Polo Clam, Shredded Sweet Turnip in Truffle Oil. A dish of east meets west, the mélange of shredded fresh and pickled vegetables, crispy pastry combined with polo clams or surf clams are fusion with the luxurious truffle oil.

I cannot help but stared at the stunning polo clams jazzed up with lime to bring out the flavors!

Chef Michael gets everything ready for our toss!

Isn’t it amazing when some people can toss the Yee Sang and take photos at the same time? J

Time to play with our food… of course the higher, the better! A significant sign of more health, wealth, prosperity and great things to come… Lou Hei, Lou Hei… J

I am going to have to be biased on this dish because I simply love polo clams! A nice touch as the Yee Sang has all the essential crispy and bouncy textures against the finely julienned vegetables. Sweet and sour flavors are nicely balanced with the addition of perfumed truffle oil! Yum…

This dish of Poached Village Chicken with Pickled Radish and Chili make looked simple but taste very warm and comforting. The pieces of chicken are very tender and smooth. I am not a fan of the skin but I enjoyed it a lot in this dish. The sprinkling of pickled radish and the supreme soy sauce perked up the simple poached chicken tremendously. I had to order a bowl of white rice for this dish simply because the sauce was just too irresistible.

‘Nien Nien You Yue’ defines the must for fish during this festive season, therefore, one will see an order fish on every table to represent the meaning of abundance in everything in life! Steamed Red Grouper with ‘Medan’ Sauce was our dish that night and the whole dish was auspiciously red in color. I was expecting a heavy sauce but surprisingly it was not. Light in consistency with a nice balance of spicy, sweet and sour, the sauce also begged for rice!

Here comes the laughter in 2012 with Wok Fried Butter Tiger Prawns with Papaya and Milk! Sunshine of prettily arranged tiger prawns coated in a creamy and luscious butter sauce fused with papaya and milk. This explained the gorgeous colors of the sauce and the lightness of the sauce with the usage of papaya for the added fruity touch. I saw XiangCool smiling a lot at this dish!! See how effective it is?

Stewed Mixed Vegetable in Bean Curd Parcel with Dried Oyster and Sea Moss represents a mountain of hidden treasures of beneath the bean curd skin sounded by a sea of green broccolis.

A dish filled with the precious array of dried oysters, fatt choy, carrots, corn and lotus seed, the flavors were gentle and light. I like the mixed of vegetables as I always felt that most set menus did not include enough vegetables.
