A Time for Prosperous Beginnings
A
New Lunar Year always signifies a new beginning! Ringing in with lots of
festive deliciousness is the renowned Toh
Yuen Chinese Restaurant at Hilton
Petaling Jaya. Celebrating the Year of the Fire Monkey, Toh Yuen has line
up three celebratory banquet menus of pork-free Cantonese cuisine available
from 18 January to 28 February 2016.
Chinese
Executive Chef Ben Lim and kitchen team has crafted a sumptuous spread of
Chinese New Year specialties to be enjoy in the recently renovated Toh Yuen
that is set in an elegant ambiance of plush cream, celadon hues and dark wood.
Kicking
off the festive tradition, a dish representing abundance took form in Prosperity Yee Sang with Fresh Salmon. Toh Yuen goes traditional in this yee
sang, serving all the classic ingredients in yee sang and serving it with a
luscious plate of raw salmon. Sometimes, there’s nothing like savoring classic
sweet, savory and tangy flavours coupled with lots of various textures in a
classic yee sang.
Besides
enjoying the yee sang, it’s the tossing with family and friends plus creating
new moments together that was the main reason we enjoy the dish!
I
always look forward to soup course because it’s something I will always relate
to comfort food. We enjoyed their Double
Boiled Fish Maw Soup with Black Mushrooms & Dried Scallops. A clear
consommé of superior broth with meat and seafood essence, there is also the
premium fish maw, dried scallops and black mushroom. The broth is soothing and
delicious from its long hours of double boiling.
It
was without a doubt that the Steamed
Imperial Chicken with Chinese Herbs & Sea Moss was going to fabulous
the moment we caught the luscious whiff of the dish when it was presented at
our table. After tasting it, the dish had everyone raving about how flavourful
and gorgeous the flavours are in the sauce. The chicken was beautifully tender
from its 4 hours of cooking and had absorbed all the Chinese herb essences and
aroma. It was also a delight to include Fatt Choy or sea moss and the bits of
jeweled red wolfberries add prettiness as well as a light sweetness. Superb
dish!
Nian Nian You Yue is represented in the Teow Chew Style Steamed Pomfret.
Pomfret is a favorite fish among the Chinese community. This one was gracefully
presented in a classic Teow Chew style of steamed pomfret with preserved
vegetables, mushrooms, bean curd, chili and pickled plum topped with lots fresh
coriander and spring onions. The sweet flesh of the fish is enhanced by the
slight piquant tangy and savory sauce. A dish we polished happily…
Deep Fried Sea Prawns with Lemon
Mayonnaise Sauce came
deshelled, lightly battered till crispy and drenched in a creamy lemony sauce
and topped with crushed nuts. Beneath the prawns is a bed of sweet cubed
fruits. The Chinese prawn salad is light, sweet, juicy and such a treat,
especially when we don’t have to peel the crustaceans.
Go
lux this season as it is the time to indulge after all… a dish that is well
beloved by many is another classic of Stewed
Whole Abalone with Australian Sea Cucumber and Sea Moss. A whole piece of
premium abalone stewed for hours together with the gelatinous sea cucumber in
sublime abalone brown sauce is served with the auspicious Fatt Choy and Chinese
Bok Choy. The firm but tender gastropod is such a heavenly treat as well as the
collagen filled sea cucumber.
Our
last savory course ended with Steamed
Glutinous Rice with Dried Oyster Wrapped in Lotus Leaf. Individually
wrapped parcel of deliciousness, the sticky and soft glutinous rice is well
flavoured and comes with dried oyster and bits of salted egg yolk.
It’s
a duo of sweet endings with Osmanthus
& Sweet Olives with Lemongrass Jelly and Chinese New Year Cake with Shredded Coconut. The fresh and sweet
chilled lemongrass jelly infused with osmanthus makes a vibrant and fresh
palate cleanser. The nian gao could
be better if they had use fresh grated coconut instead of the dried ones.
Diners can choose from
the three celebratory banquet menus priced from RM1,688 nett for the Everlasting Happiness set to RM2,188 nett
for the Sea of Prosperity set.
Highlights of the menus include Steamed
Imperial Chicken with Chinese Herbs & Sea Moss, Steamed Red Garoupa with
Premium Soy Sauce, Teow Chew Style Steamed Pomfret, Stewed Whole Abalone with
Australian Sea Cucumber & Sea Moss and more. Vegetarian options are
available upon special request.

Yuen Restaurant remains open on the Eve of Chinese New Year and throughout the
