Yusheng with Crispy Monkey Head Mushrooms, Prosperity Flakes and Peach Dressing 4/5
A tradition and must have at every Lunar New Year is the Yusheng or Loi Hei. This year Man Fu Yan presents the Yusheng with Crispy Monkey Head Mushrooms, Prosperity Flakes and Peach Dressing ($118 Large). The used of monkey head mushrooms symbolize the year of monkey while providing the additional crispy texture. The prosperity honey gold flakes represents abundance of wealth, dressed in a refreshing sweet peach sauce.
Australian Lobster and Geoduck Sashimi 4.2/5
I was privileged to be given a glimpse of some of the prosperity offerings at Man Fu Yuan this year. The dinner started with the fresh and natural sweetness of the Australian Lobster and Geoduck Sashimi with Freshly Grated Wasabi and Bonito Shoyu.
Doubled Boiled Sakura Chicken Soup with Bird's Nest, Fish Maw, Abalone and Black Truffles 4.2/5
Following the sashimi is the nourishing and comforting bowl of Doubled Boiled Sakura Chicken Soup with Bird's Nest, Fish Maw, Abalone and Black Truffles. The essence of the luxurious ingredients were well extracted, brimming with beautiful and sumptuous flavours.
Braised to a nice tender and absorbing the flavours from the braising sauce is the Braised Australian Green Lip Abalone and Chinese Mushrooms with Spiky Sea Cucumber and Seasonal Vegetables. The sea cucumber is also braised to a soft bouncy texture that is every enjoyable.
Braised South African Abalone and Chicken in Casserole 4/5
Yes it is another abalone dish again but cooked differently. The Braised South African and Chicken in Casserole allows the appreciation of the abalone in a different way.
Alaskan King Crab in Chinese Rice Wine with Chicken Oil and Crispy Pork Lard 4.5/5
The highlight in this year Man Fu Yuan Lunar New Year offering has to be the Alaskan King Crab in Chinese Rice Wine with Chicken Oil and Crispy Pork Lard. I was exactly quite surprised how the chinese rice wine and crispy pork lard, can bring out the full flavour of the crustacean.
