A Prosperous Loh Sang
It
is always a pleasure to dine at Xin
Cuisine at Concorde Hotel Kuala
Lumpur. A Chinese restaurant that has been serving authentic and
scrumptious Chinese cuisine has always been a favorite of many. This New Lunar
Year, Xin Cuisine is offering lots of festive CNY specialties and an exciting
acrobatic lion dance!
Available
from January 8 to February 22, 2016, the culinary team at Xin Cuisine is offering 6 auspicious variations of the must-have
Yee Sang as well as classic festive a la carte dishes, festive set menus and more.
Feast
on the auspicious Smoked Salmon Yee Sang,
a platter featuring slivers of smoked salmon nestled among the classic
ingredients of this festive salad. It’s a great option for those who do not
enjoy raw fish. The smoked salmon added a touch of lusciousness with smoky
salty flavours to the Yee Sang.
Honored
to be part of the auspicious ritual of tossing for prosperity, our evening was
filled with beautiful wishes to usher in the Year of the Fire Monkey!
Besides
the Smoked Salmon Yee Sang, there
are also Prosperity Sliced Abalone Yee
Sang, Prosperity Norwegian Salmon Yee Sang, Prosperity Bud Mushroom &
Scallop Yee Sang, Prosperity Shredded Duck Meat & Jack Fruit Thai Style Yee
Sang and Prosperity Snow Pear
Vegetarian Yee Sang. Price starts from RM79.00 to RM265.00 nett.
They
say good things come in three! The Abundant
Three Hot Combination is a platter of 3 appetizers from chef’s list of
signatures. Depending on the availability, this platter is perfect for those
who loves choices when dining.
For
our platter, there was a delectable crispy yam with prawn, kataifi wrapped
scallop and stir fried lotus root with asparagus, macadamia nuts, assorted
vegetables and mushrooms. I enjoyed the combination of the various seafood with
vegetables.
The
next course was soup-er yum! Prosperity
Thick Soup with Dried Seafood is a thick bisque filled with lots of seafood
bits. From jelly fish to fish maw, dried scallop, mushrooms and more, there is
a solid mix of textures in the flavourful and rich soup.
The
next dish is a crowd pleaser, especially for porcine fans like me. The Crispy Suckling Pig Hong Kong Style has
all the markings of a gorgeous roasted suckling pig. Every bite of the suckling
pig skin has cracking acoustic sounds that is music to my ears!
Cod
has always been one of my favorite fish. We savored Steamed Cod with Garlic Oil in the next course. This dish is
superb. The cod was fresh, sweet and silky smooth. A light soy sauce with
garlic bits and scallion was all it needed. Simply delicious in every bite…
Prawns
represent laughter in Chinese language so the crustacean is a popular choice to
enjoy during this festive season. Our prawn dish of the night was this
succulent Baked Fresh Water Prawns with
King Superior Soya Sauce. Utterly delectable at sight and in flavours, the
prawns has a sinful umami savory note that really had us enjoying the sauce on
the shells. The prawn head is also filled with more sinful creamy roes. Divine
and finger-licking good!
Here’s
something a little different with Braised
Chicken with Three Varieties of Chinese Sausages. The tender chicken is
well-braised till it absorbs the sweet and savory notes of the sausages. The
sausages also expelled a delicious aroma and oil that gave the dish a smooth
and shiny sheen. I would love a bowl of steamed rice with this dish.
The
next course is a Xin Cuisine signature. The culinary team here makes of the
best versions of Waxed Meat Rice in
Claypot. The rice cooked in the clay pot has my favorite combo of fluffy
rice with bits of crispy rice layer. Mix with the oils of the waxed meat and
the chef’s special soy sauce, the rice is a popular choice at Xin during every
CNY.
Our
banquet festive set menu ended with fresh and fruity Mango Puree with Pomelo & Sago and a trio of Chinese New Year Sweet Treats. While
the sweet dessert of Mango Puree was refreshing and fruity, it was certainly
the trio of Nian Gao prepared three ways that took center stage.
The
trio of Nian Gao are Sweet Potato Nian
Gao with Macadamia Nut, Waxed Meat Nian Gao with Chicken Floss and Peanut Nian Gao with Pistachio. The duo
of sweet Nian Gao makes a familiar and sweet ending while the savory Nian Gao
was indeed a lovely savory and sweet surprise. These are such a treat and truly
unique this festive season.
This
Chinese New Year, Xin Cuisine is
offering two festive set menus priced at RM1618 nett and RM1968 nett per table
of 10 persons. Both set menus and a la carte dishes as well as Yee Sang are
available from January 8 to February 22, 2016.
Xin

January 9, 2016. Dim sum breakfast starts from 9.00 am. This year of the fire Monkey, Concorde will
