To celebrate the Year of the Horse, York Hotel has curated a range of takeaway offerings featuring both festive classics and new creations, perfect for cosy home celebrations or gifting.
Prosperity Lo Hei 4/5
The Flavours of Fortune Combo ($298, serves 4–5 pax) is a wholesome yet luxurious spread of festive delicacies ideal for home celebrations. The set includes a Prosperity Lo Hei with Smoked Nordic Salmon and Sliced Abalone (large), as well as a thoughtful selection of mains and a dessert to round off the feast.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall 4.5/5
One standout from the set is a vegetarian rendition of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall ($98 à la carte). This meatless version was no less flavourful than its traditional counterpart. The slow-simmered medley of morel mushrooms, cordyceps flowers, shark fin melon, chestnut, shiitake and oyster mushrooms, carrot, radish, Shanghai greens, yam, and red dates resulted in a deeply nourishing dish for all.
Braised Duck with Sea Cucumber in Orange 3/5
The Braised Duck with Sea Cucumber in Orange Plum Sauce ($98 à la carte) is a returning favourite, elevated with a tangy orange plum sauce that adds a pleasant citrusy lift. That said, the portion I had was slightly dry despite the rich, flavoursome sauce, and the sea cucumber could have been more tender.
Steamed Multigrain Rice 4.5/5
My favourite dish of the combo, and of the evening as well, was the Steamed Multigrain Rice ($58 à la carte). Every bite was deeply umami, enriched with Chinese sausage and an enjoyable mix of textures from chestnut, lotus seed, black-eyed peas, and savoury sakura shrimp.
Golden Treasure Seafood Pot 4.2/5
Among the popular takeaway items is the Golden Treasure Seafood Pot, brimming with premium seafood such as rock lobster, crab claw, scallops, and prawns. The shellfish broth was vibrant and robust. While most ingredients were well-cooked, the rock lobster was slightly overdone.
Fortune Herbal Chicken 4/5
For something comforting and homely, the Fortune Herbal Chicken with Red Dates and Goji Berries ($68) delivered precisely that. The chicken was succulent, soaking up the gentle, nourishing flavours of the herbal broth.
Honey-glazed Pork Ribs in Hawthorn Berry Sauce 2.8/5
A meatier option is the Honey-glazed Pork Ribs in Hawthorn Berry Sauce, served with deep-fried mini mantou ($68). The sauce was tantalisingly tangy and sweet, though the ribs didn’t take on the glaze evenly, leaving some parts a little bland and dry.
Stir-Fried Tomato Garlic Prawn 4.5/5
The Stir-Fried Tomato Garlic Prawn ($68 nett, serves 4–5 persons) injected the meal with joyous, nostalgic flavours. Succulent prawns were coated in a thick, tomatoey sauce fragrant with garlic, evoking a comforting taste of home.
Traditional Yam Paste 5/5
Dessert was the Traditional Yam Paste with Pumpkin and Ginkgo Nuts, which was easily one of the best versions I’ve had in a long time—smooth, well-balanced, and a satisfying end to the meal.
