Yu sheng 鱼生

But the first course was a distinctly Singaporean Chinese new year dish — yu sheng or lo hei.

The raw fish slices were a little too thin and scant. Otherwise, the rest of the dish was rather predictable.

Appetizer platter

Things started to get more exciting as dinner progressed into more un-familiar territory.

The cold appetizer platter featured:

1. Boiled chicken in chilli oil (very very mild);
2. A light salad of chilled crunchy vegetables (quite refreshing);
3. Lightly spiced fried fish cubes (quite tasty).

Shanghai pen cai 上海盆菜

In recent years, pen cai 盆菜 or poon choi has become a popular Chinese New Year dish in Singapore. Poon choi is a Hong Kong custom, so this Shanghai-cuisine restaurant probably came up with their own version to provide a local festive touch.

The top layer is a spread of baby abalone, chicken, beancurd skin rolls, omelette-wrapped meat dumplings, some kind of fish cake, some kind of meat ball, prawn, fish maw, and mushroom.

Beneath the meat items are stewed vegetables like lotus root, cauliflower, broccoli, and giant red dates.

With so many ingredients, the stock was intensely sweet and flavorful. This was a very hearty and comforting casserole. We’re considering ordering this for takeaway at next year’s reunion dinner (if we’re eating at home).

Braised pork knuckle

Braised till uber tender, the pork knuckle fell apart with a gentle prod. The soft, smooth gelatinous skin collagen of the pork knuckle glided down our throats — such a sinful pleasure but you’d be damned if you let such a delicacy go to waste.

Steamed red garoupa

The set menu actually comes with sweet and sour fish, but they gave us steamed red garoupa by mistake. Not complaining! The fish was fresh and steamed to perfection.

Stir-fried snow peas

No Chinese meal is complete with an obligatory dish of greens.

Xiao long bao

This is Savor Rey’s signature xiao long bao or soup dumplings. Thin and delicate, the skin encased a glob of tasty minced pork and a generous amount of scalding hot broth.

Fried pumpkin cake

Coated with panko, the exterior of these pumpkin cakes were delightfully crispy and not too greasy. The insides reminded us of nian gao 年糕 — sticky, chewy, and not too sweet. Very more-ish, if not for the fact that we were already very stuffed.

Fresh fruit platter

And to balance out our rich and satisfying meal, a platter of chilled watermelon and mandarin orange.

The meal cost around $228. All the items were well-executed, so we were all happy diners. The only gripe we had was that the staff was short-handed so service was kinda spotty.

This was a nice change from the usual steamboat or Cantonese-style banquet dishes that we usually have for Chinese new year reunion dinner. Hope everyone had a wonderful Lunar New Year celebration too! May you be blessed with abundance and good health in the Year of the Water Dragon!

What did you just say, Mommy? It’s New Year again?

Oh, this time we’re celebrating Lunar New Year! Bye bye Rabbit, hello Dragon!

Mommy says we must put on new outfits when we go visiting during New Year. How do I look in my new pink dress and bunny hat?

Happy Lunar New Year and Gong Xi Fa Cai! May you enjoy success and good health in the year of the Water Dragon!

祝大家：新年快乐，恭喜发财， 身体健康，万事如意！

Chwee kueh, 6 pieces for S$1.80

Hubby had his usual chwee kueh from the legendary Jian Bo Shui Kueh.

Somehow, I find that it’s oilier and the topping not as fragrant as it used to be. But it still has its following of die-hard fans.

Kopi gao (extra thick coffee with condensed milk)

And to go along with chwee kueh — kopi gao (extra thick coffee with condensed milk).

You Ji

Five stalls away from Jian Bo is this stall. Quite an extensive menu, mainly breakfast fare like chee cheong fun, steamed pumpkin and yam cakes, fried beehoon and kway teow, and bak chang (glutinous rice dumplings).

Interestingly, they also sell gingko nut congee.

Chee cheong fun, pumpkin cake, yam cake, S$3.30

The chee cheong fun was good. Thin, smooth, bouncy rice flour sheets — drizzled with sweet sauce and chilli — reminded me of those excellent ones I had in Penang.

The steamed yam cake had chunks of yam, but pity the texture was lumpy. Same for the pumpkin cake.

Be transported to the streets of 1950s Malaysia!

Happy news for Malaysian street food lovers! Now you no longer need to drive 5 hours to Kuala Lumpur or take a plane to Penang to satisfy your craving for KL Hokkien mee or Penang char kway teow. Just hop over to Malaysian Food Street at Resorts World Sentosa!

Dine outside shophouses!

Officially opened on 12 January 2012, Malaysian Food Street at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) is a spacious foodcourt with 17 food stalls offering iconic Malaysian street food.

From RWS’ press release:

Standing at 22,000 square feet, the Malaysian Food Street seats up to 516 guests comfortably. Fully-air-conditioned, it is designed to evoke the look and feel of the streets in Malaysia, with facades of old shophouses, true-to-detail street stalls, and replicas of 1950s-style coffeeshop furniture and street fixtures to set the mood.

Old-school trishaw!

Nearly half of the 17 food stalls are among some of the best hawkers in Malaysia. They were specially selected by RWS after a stringent and time-consuming process.

At a recent media preview (before its official opening), we were given a first taste of what to look forward to when this exciting new F&B destination opens!

Note: Dishes pictured are tasting portions, hence not representative of actual portions that are sold.

Penang Ah Long Lor Bak

Penang lor bak is similar to Singapore ngoh hiang. The main item — lor bak — is braised pork rolled in beancurd sheet, then deep-fried and served with braising sauce and chilli sauce. Other items like crispy fritters are usually offered alongside.

Lor bak from Penang Ah Long Lor Bak

This was our sampling platter. It was polished off in minutes, testament to how tasty it was! A must-try when you visit Malaysian Food Street!

Penang Ah Mei Hokkien Prawn Mee

Another dish that we were very impressed with was Penang Hokkien prawn mee.

Penang-style Hokkien prawn noodles

The best part of this dish was the intensely flavored broth. Boiled for three hours with stir-fried crushed prawn shell, pork bones and ground dried chilli, this spicy umami-rich broth was mind-blowing awesome!

Penang Lim Brothers' Char Koay Teow

And how could we leave out Penang’s iconic char koay teow?

Penang char koay teow!

Unlike Singapore fried kway teow which is sweeter and wetter, Penang char koay teow is saltier and lighter in color. This tasted really authentic, and would taste even better with more chilli and a stronger charred flavor.

Claypot rice cooked on coals in traditional clay stoves

Another famous Malaysian hawker stall is Huen Kee Claypot Rice from Kuala Lumpur. They still insist on using traditional stoves and charcoal to cook their claypot chicken rice.

See the burning charcoal on top of the pots? That’s to lock in moisture and retain the flavors of the rice and ingredients.

Chicken clay pot rice

When the lids were lifted, our noses were greeted with a heady aroma of marinated chicken and Chinese sausage. The rice grains were moist and flavorful because they were cooked in chicken broth.

Adding even more fragrance and flavor was a drizzle of sesame oil, shallot oil, Chinese rice wine, ginger sauce, and dark soy sauce just before the rice was mixed and served.

Penang Hai Beng Hainan Lor Mee

If you still have tummy space, here are other famous stalls to try. The lor mee was quite flavorful but the gravy was a little too starchy for my liking.

Famous Jalan Alor KL Hokkien Mee

The sweet-salty KL Hokkien mee features thick udon-like noodles that’s QQ bouncy to the bite. I’ve never tasted the authentic version before, so no yardstick to compare.

Petaling Street Famous Porridge

This congee uses three kinds of rice grains, and slowly simmered for 2 hours in chicken and pork broth. The congee has a wonderfully velvety consistency. Love the crispy deep-fried intestines that came with this pork porridge!

Raw fish porridge is also available in addition to pork porridge.

Penang chendol

The Penang chendol is another must-try! Usually, I steer clear of chendol in Singapore food courts. Often, they use neon-colored factory-made green jelly and substandard gula melaka.

But this one is different. The soft green jelly has a lovely home-made quality to it. It’s not overpowered by coconut milk, and has a very smooth and fragrant gula melaka and palm sugar sweetness.

Fung Wong Confectionery

Don’t leave without getting some Chinese pastries from the famous Fung Wong Confectionery in Kuala Lumpur.

Delicious Chinese baked pastries

There’s baked goodies like walnut cookies and crispy water chestnut pastries 马蹄酥.

Fung Wong's legendary kaya puff, baked char siew bun, and egg tart

We sampled their signature egg tart, baked char siew bun, and kaya puff. OMG, they are really delish! Even hubby was mighty impressed. Will definitely get these again the next time I go to RWS.

Besides these famous “imported” Malaysian hawkers, there are other delicious Malaysian street food dishes like nasi lemak, Klang bak kut teh, and Malacca chicken rice ball available.

Here’s the full list of all the stalls at Malaysian Food Street:

1. Famous Jalan Alor KL Hokkien Mee
2. Fung Wong Confectionery
3. Petaling Street Famous Porridge since 1949

Yo, what's up?

Dear Aunties & Uncles, jie jie & kor kor – Happy New Year!

Mommy says I’m 5 months old today! She said I should update you on what I’ve been up to. Now, I’ve discovered how to flip onto my tummy, but I still don’t know how to flip back.

Mommy also says – with a tone of disgust – that I put everything I can grab into my mouth. What’s wrong with that??

In another month’s time, I can start to eat solids. Yay! When Mommy and Daddy eat, I can only look on and drool. Their food smells so yummy! Can’t wait for my teeth to pop out so I can start eating proper FOOD!

That’s all for now. See ya around!

Santa's Cottage (S$55.00, approx. 1.4kg)

This 3D Santa’s Cottage cake is truly spectacular, and looks even more stunning than in photos. When I brought out the cake, everyone was going, “Wah……so beautiful!”

Hello, Santa!

The details are so life-like, especially the two cottages and the snow. Love the colorful little ornaments too!

Edible roof!

The “roof” is made of sponge fingers, so it’s totally edible!

The backyard!

This is the back view of the cake.

Chocolatey chocolate cake!

It’s such a beautiful cake I couldn’t bear to cut it up! But eventually, I did.

The two “cottages” as well as the “tree trunk” base are chocolate sponge cakes laced with dark truffle cream. The cake is moist and fluffy, while the truffle cream is very rich and bittersweet. There was a little too much cream for our liking, but we loved the intense chocolatey taste of the entire cake.

It’s definitely a very decadent creation, and a feast for both the eyes and palate!

This is a substantially large cake, sufficient to feed around 12 to 16 pax. For other PrimaDéli festive goodies, click here to download the PDF flyer.

Have a very Merry Christmas!

Roast turkey & honey baked ham with 12 sauces

Together with misstamchiak, Justin, Keropokman, Hungry Cow, and Jasper & Saunders, we checked out the Christmas lunch buffet at Plaza Brasserie at the invitation of PARKROYAL on Beach Road.

I was most impressed with the juicy roast turkey, as well as the tasty honey baked ham. And to top it all, they have 12 different kinds of traditional and Asian-inspired sauces to go with the meats:

1. Traditional Giblet
2. Cranberry
3. BBQ
4. Black Pepper
5. Mustard
6. Laksa
7. Rendang
8. Thai Mango
9. Satay
10. Tong Gui Herbal
11. Sichuan
12. Pineapple

My favorites were Traditional Giblet, Cranberry, and zesty Thai Mango for its sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors!

Chilled prawn & mussels on ice

Lunch buffet also has a small chilled seafood selection. The prawns were supremely fresh and succulent.

There were several live stations featuring Christmas roast meats, Japanese sushi & sashimi, Indian food, and local Asian favorites.

Japanese selection

At the Japanese station, besides the usual sushi, there’s also sashimi that’s only sliced upon order to ensure freshness.

Oyster omelette

The oyster omelette was excellent! Juicy, tasty, with a hint of chilli and wok hei — this was similar to Penang-style oyster omelette. Definitely one of the highlights of this buffet!

Laksa

The laksa was another winner with its fragrant and lemak (coconutty) gravy.

Hainanese chicken rice

Another popular local dish is the Hainanese chicken rice. I found the chicken rice here to be rather old-school in style. The rice isn’t heavily flavored with ginger; instead it has the subtle flavor of chicken stock. The succulent chicken is chopped into large chunks with bone-in, the old-fashioned way. I like!

There’s also Indian curries and freshly made prata. Sorry, no pics, but the range of prata was rather creative. There’s both savoury and sweet pratas like ham & onion and even banana!

Salads & canapes

There’s also a decent selection of salads. They look simple but taste very nice! Same for the bite-sized canapes.

Desserts section

Being a Christmas-themed buffet, there’s Christmas fruitcake, gingerbread, and of course, log cake! There’s also the usual buffet selection of miniature cheesecakes and mousses.

For local desserts, there were sago pudding with gula melaka, mango pudding, and also fruit cocktail jelly.

Fresh fruits

There’s also fresh fruit and a DIY ice cream counter with various toppings (not pictured).

Amazing chocolate cake!

Psst! Grab this chocolate mousse cake if you see it. It’s definitely worth the calories! *wink*

Plaza Brasserie’s buffet would probably satisfy the tastebuds of those who are looking for a Christmas-themed buffet with an emphasis on Asian and local dishes. For instance, this menu would suit my parents-in-law as their palates are still very Asian.

The buffet range isn’t too extensive, but it should be sufficient for smaller eaters. Also, it’s attractively priced for a Christmas-themed buffet.

*Child below 3 dines for free. Child prices applicable for those aged 4 to 12. Prices are subject to 10% service charge & 7% GST.

Breads from Maison Kayser

Seems like hubby’s tastebuds are becoming more gourmet. Without giving him any background on these artisan breads, I asked him, “Nice or not?”

His reply, “Very nice! These breads taste very different. Where did you buy them?”

Answer: The new French boulangerie Maison Kayser from Paris at Scotts Square. The Singapore branch is opened by Shu Kimura, who runs Maison Kayser’s outlets in Japan.

Prices of Maison Kayser’s artisanal breads are definitely on the upscale side. Just these 4 breads alone cost S$11.20! But judging by the crowds at Maison Kayser’s modest-sized bakery cafe, it seems that Singaporeans are willing to pay for good bread.

A breakdown of the above items and prices:

1. Petit raisin Danish – $1.70
2. Chocolate croissant – $2.80
3. Walnut bread – $3.40
4. Yuzu bread – 3.30

The croissants were good. The exterior was very crisp and light, while the innards were buttery and flaky.

But much more interesting texture-wise were the walnut and yuzu loaves. The founder of Maison Kayser — Eric Kayser — is famous for his natural fermentation method. The rustic-style loaves had slightly crisp crust with soft, chewy insides. The dough had exceptional complexity and depth.

Like hubby said, Maison Kayer’s breads taste very different. They have that brilliant quality that’s full of character.

Pagoda of Eight Treasures 开运八宝塔, S$88.80

For their 2012 Lunar New Year menu, the fine-dining restaurants of the Crystal Jade brand is offering a spectacular mix of dishes that marry classic Chinese delicacies with local and regional touches.

At a recent media luncheon, we were given a sneak preview of this exciting festive menu. The most eagerly anticipated dish was definitely the Pagoda of Eight Treasures, inspired by the traditional Indonesian Nasi Tumpeng that’s served at celebrations and festive occasions.

It tastes as gorgeous as it looks!

The centerpiece of this platter is a cone of fried glutinous rice with conpoy, dried shrimp and mushroom.

Seven surrounding “treasures” complete this dish — marinated octopus, French bean fritters, preserved sausage, preserved liver sausage, chicken fillet nuggets, deep-fried quail eggs, and sauteed shrimp with mushroom.

Not only did it wow us with its presentation, we were also impressed taste-wise. The various components are a thoughtful and winning combination of flavors and textures.

Visually stunning and pleasing to the palate, this communal dish is guaranteed to be an impressive centerpiece for your home or office celebrations!

The Pagoda of Eight Treasures is also available for takeaway. It will be served in a dish with compartments. The rice will stay in the middle, with a plastic cone to help hold the rice in shape during transportation.

Golden Yu Sheng 金装发财鱼生, S$88.80 (large)

Of course, no Lunar New Year celebration in Singapore is complete without lo hei. What I like about Crystal Jade’s yu sheng is that it tastes very fresh and natural.

And look at the artistry of the raw salmon slices, beautifully carved and arranged into a rosette and delicate leaves!

Double-boiled Quail Soup with Chinese Herbs 滋补药膳炖仙鹤, S$22 per serving

Highly recommended is the double-boiled quail soup. Slow-cooked for hours, the clear consomme is both nourishing and intensely flavorful.

Steamed Sea Bass with Preserved Vegetables 甜菜蒸鲈鱼件, S$12 per serving

For Lunar New Year, a fish dish is a must as the Chinese word for “fish” is a homophone for “surplus”.

For this rustic and elegant dish, moist and delicate sea bass is complemented with sweet-salty mui choy. Excellent as a course on its own or with rice.

Braised Dou Miao with Assorted Dried Seafood 海中宝扒豆杯, S$12 per serving

And of course, no Chinese meal is complete without a vegetable dish. Sweet, luscious pea sprouts with strips of braised abalone, fish maw, sea cucumber and dried scallop, this dish is very easy to like.

Glutinous Rice Cake with Coconut 椰丝年糕 & Fried Glutinous Rice Dumpling with Grated Peanut 脆米花煎堆仔, S$2.40 per serving

A little less sticky than the usual nian gao, this glutinous rice cake tastes rather similar but uses grated coconut, coconut juice, and white sugar to replace brown sugar. There’s also added crunch and aroma from the coating of roasted sesame seeds.

The fried glutinous rice dumpling is like a peanut tang yuan, but coated in sesame seed and deep-fried.

All 6 dishes in this post will be available only for the 2012 Lunar New Year season beginning 26 Dec 2011 to 6 Feb 2012 (15^th day of CNY in 2012). They will be served at:

1. Crystal Jade Dining IN, VivoCity #01-112, tel: 6278-5626
2. Crystal Jade Palace Restaurant, Takashimaya Shopping Centre #04-19, tel: 6735-2388

The Pagoda of 8 Treasures will be available at the two restaurants above, as well as Crystal Jade Golden Palace at Paragon (tel: 6734 6866) and Crystal Jade Kitchen at NEX (tel: 6634 4920).

All dishes featured are available for dine-in or takeaway.

Many thanks to Crystal Jade Culinary Concepts Holding and linea Communications for the invite.

Update (Tue, 20 Dec 2011): Two winners have been picked! See bottom of post for names of winners.

nydc's Hearty Christmas Roast Platter for 4

I was invited by nydc to sample their Christmas 2011 menu. Their special offering this year is this Hearty Christmas Roast platter set (S$98++) for 4 people. It consists of:

• 1 herbed roasted chicken
• marbled sirloin steak
• 2 spicy bratwurst & 1 pork cheese sausage, served with sauerkraut
• onion rings with BBQ sauce
• baked potato gratin
• mixed salad greens

Also included are 4 Passionately Fizzy Drinks and 4 slices of log cake.

I was joined by hubby and two of our foodie friends — Joanne and Sean. Here are our comments:

Marbled sirloin steak, medium rare (recommended doneness)

Marbled sirloin steak:
Hubby: Flavor, texture, doneness — everything’s perfect! Can we have more?

Joanne & Sean: Very impressed, one of the better steaks we’ve tried! The beef is very fresh.

Me: I’m not a beef lover, but fell in love with this. The meat is well-seared, juicy, and has good bite. The madeira sauce is tasty too. We were told this is chilled Australian airflown beef.

Juicy sausages, succulent herbed chicken, and mouthwatering sides

Rest of the platter:
Hubby: I like the aroma of the herbed roasted chicken. Both sausages are tasty. The spicy bratwurst isn’t that spicy.

Joanne: The chicken is a bit salty in some parts, but overall still ok. I really enjoy the potato gratin!

Sean: Chicken breast meat is usually more dry and stringy, but here, the breast part is tender and moist. The mixed salad is a nice accompaniment. How come there’s only 1 cheese sausage for 4 people to share?

Me: The spring chicken is succulent and well-marinated. But I would have preferred a bigger, meatier chicken. The onion rings are addictive!

Passionately Fizzy Drink

Passionately Fizzy Drink:
Hubby: Refreshing and not too sweet!

Joanne & Sean: Usually, any drink with cranberry reminds us of cough syrup, but this one doesn’t! The orange and cranberry surprisingly go very well together.

Me: This fizzy and citrusy drink is appetizing and complements the meat items.

"Yule Love It" Chocolate Log Cake & "Divine White Chocolate Cheese" Log Cake (background)

Log cakes:
Hubby & Joanne: Both are just as good, but the white chocolate log cake is more unique. It’s a great alternative to the usual dark chocolate log cake!

Sean: Gimme dark chocolate anytime!

Me: nydc is famous for their desserts, and these two log cakes are testament to that. The dark Belgian chocolate log cake is sinfully bittersweet and rich. The white chocolate version is silky smooth, not too sweet, and has an intriguing flavor profile.

To sum up:
We were all very impressed with the taste and presentation of the main course, dessert and drink.

Portion-wise, the amount is just enough for 4 average eaters. For those with bigger appetites, the platter is more suitable for 3 people to share.

At S$98++ for 4 persons (about S$29 each), this meal is reasonably priced and offers excellent value.

nydc’s Christmas 2011 menu is available from 1 Dec 2011 to 1 Jan 2012.

Festive log cakes!

The two log cakes are also available whole in 2 sizes — S$32.00 for 500 gms, and S$51.00 for 1 kg.

Cinnamon Mocha Elephanccino, S$7.80++ (available iced or hot)

We also tried the hot Cinnamon Mocha Elephanccino. It’s very thick and chocolatey, with hints of cinnamon and raspberry. It was a little too sweet for our liking. Perhaps the iced version would be less sweet.

The Christmas Roast Platter is also available for 2 persons at S$56++. For seafood lovers, there’s the Captain’s Catch Seafood Platter for 2 (S$56++).

Besides indulging in good food, you can help the children of M.I.L.K.! For every order of the festive platters, nydc will donate S$1 to the M.I.L.K. (Mainly I Love Kids) Fund. Or buy the Christmas log cake for a 50¢ donation.
