Blossoms of Happiness at Zuan Yuan
Chinese Restaurant
Festive
indulgence is waiting at Zuan Yuan Chinese
Restaurant at One World Hotel this
festive season with great deliciousness! Usher in this New Lunar Year of the
Fire Monkey with a feast of fortune and toss your way to abundance with Chef
Lee Siew Hap’s festive set menus and auspicious varieties of Yee Sang.
Zuan Yuan has always been a favorite when it
comes to enjoying Chinese cuisine set in an elegant and plush ambiance. This
auspicious New Year, make a date with your family, friends and business
associates for lavish lunches or sumptuous dinners at Zuan Yuan for their list
of delectable and creative Chinese dishes specially crafted for the spirit of
this season.
Begin
your festive feast with the obligatory Yee Sang! Showcasing four varieties of
Colours of Spring Yee Sang menu, diners are treated to traditional Yee Sang as
well as modern inspired Yee Sang. Inspired by the West, Zuan Yuan shows off a
unique and scrumptious Caesar Salad with
Salmon & Grated Parmesan Cheese Yee Sang.
One
would be wondering on how this East meets West creation taste like, especially with
cheese and balsamic vinegar. Rest assured, this Yee Sang taste beautifully delicious.
Instead of the usual radish and carrots, there is garden greens to make this
Yee Sang even lighter. The savory cheese note is rather subtle and seemed to
marry well with all the rest if the traditional ingredients. The very light
drizzle of balsamic vinegar is very much a welcome as it enhances a tangy and
sweet richness to the Yee Sang.
Traditions
will always be traditions and many will enjoy the classic Braised Shark’s Fin Soup with Sea Treasures. On a personal note, I
just enjoy the savory and umami thick bisque filled with lots of seafood. The
version here beautifully flavourful as the base broth has solid essence of rich
seafood. A dash of Chinese black vinegar seals the deal on this course.
As
soon as Roasted Chicken & Duck
Platter with Marinated Jelly Fish was placed on our table, a beautiful
aroma immediately captivated our sense of smell. The aroma of roast already
prepared us for the tempting flavours to come.
The
Roasted Chicken had the essential crisp skin beautifully roasted in an even
golden hue with tender and succulent meat.
The
Roasted Duck was simply superb with its lacquered skin and tender rich dark
meat while the Marinated Jelly fish was tasty and crunchy with a subtle hint of
heat. An overall winning platter combination!
Another
classic course took form in Steamed
Golden Star Garoupa with Pickle, Chili & Garlic. A premium fish steamed
to perfection in a savory and taste soya based sauce and smothered with lots of
crisp and crunchy bits of pickle, chili and garlic. The bits really makes a
difference and elevated this classic dish to new heights of flavours.
With
every New Year, prawns are simply a must as it symbolizes the happiness to
follow in that year. We savored the Wok
Fried Tiger Prawns with Vietnamese Five Spiced Powder, a special spice
blend that turn ordinary tiger prawns to extraordinary crustaceans. The spice
blend does not over power the prawns and I can still taste the beautiful
sweetness of the prawns.
The
next dish of Braised Sliced Abalone,
Mushroom, Sea Moss and Bean Curd with Garden Greens is equally enticing at
sight. A glorious mount of festive ingredients crowned with the prosperous Fatt
Choy had our appetites growling in anticipation. The abalone and dried oysters
together with the bean curd sheet, mushrooms and black moss have absorb the
delicious flavours of the rich brown sauce, harmonized every element in one
united flavour.
For
the filler course, the Steamed Rice with
Yam, Preserved Assorted Meat & Chicken Sausages in Lotus Leaf, it was a
crowd pleaser with its abundance of premium assorted meat and Chinese chicken
sausages.
Our
indulgence ended with a luscious and sweet chilled dessert broth of Chilled Sea Coconut with Peach Gum, Lotus
Seeds, Snow Lotus Seeds & Red Dates. This is really a deliciously sweet
and fresh ending after a meal of Chinese banquet dishes. There are lots of
textures from all the ingredient as well as nutritional benefits.
Peach gum or Tao Jiao is really unique
and it’s my first time tasting this ingredient. It has health benefits of
harmonizing the spleen and stomach, tonify and activate the blood flow as well
as replenish Qi. It comes in dried form and needed to be soak till it
reconstitute before it is double boiled in sweet broth desserts.
There
was also the much-beloved Nian Gao dessert of Deep Fried Nian Gao with Banana Cream. As it is the year of the Monkey,
Chef Lee paired the nian gao with sweet and creamy banana before its deep fried
to crispy golden deliciousness. The ooey gooey nian gao goes really well with
the banana. We love this combo!
