Full Of Luck Restaurant @ Holland Village - Welcomes The Lunar New Year With 5 Festive Set Menus

As the Lunar New Year approaches, modern-Cantonese restaurant Full of Luck Restaurant at Holland Village rolls out five different set menus, featuring a culinary line up of contemporary Cantonese classics and festive favourites. With five menus ranging from $118-$668 to cater to 2-10 pax, you can even toss the yu sheng with just two people at the table! Set menus are available for dine-in till 19 Feb 2019.

Full of Luck’s Yu Sheng with Smoked Salmon & Yuzu Dressing 4/5

We had the Harmony with Joy Set ($238 - per table of 4 pax). Toss the ubiquitous yusheng to a year of prosperity and good fortune with fresh smoked salmon slices, fruit popping boba to impart a refreshing tangy-sweetness to the colourful stack of julienned accompaniments, brightened by flavourful, tangy notes of yuzu. Full of Luck’s Yu Sheng with Smoked Salmon & Yuzu Dressing raises the 'porksperity' ante with a cute pig design amid the melange of delightful colours, flavours and textures.

Peace & Bliss Fish Maw Clam Soup 4/5

Next on the menu is the Peace & Bliss Fish Maw Clam Soup. Loaded with a medley of fresh premium ingredients such as fish maw, clams, chicken chunks, red dates in a flavourful broth, the comforting bowl of superior soup is a welcoming starter to the rest of the richer savoury dishes.

Traditional Wok Fried Black Garlic Prawns 4.2/5

The Traditional Wok Fried Black Garlic Prawns features fresh bouncy prawns seasoned with a tinge of fragrant black garlic spice, which makes it so wonderfully flavourful without being too overwhelming. The bed of vegetables below adds a nice crunch to the dish as well.

Herbal Emperor Chicken 4/5

There is no better way to usher in the new year with a delicious and nutritious dish. Boasting an easily-falls-apart tenderness, the Herbal Emperor Chicken has a rich herbal flavour as the taste is infused in the chicken while it cooks, and also further steeped in a rich herbal broth when served.

Crunchy Medley of Vegetables 3.5/5

The Crunchy Medley of Vegetables with Lilybulb comes in a medley of crunchy vegetables. While well received for its crunchy texture and clean taste, I personally thought the dish can be more flavourful, as the vegetables may be a tad bland on its own.

Longevity Fish Noodles with Crabmeat and X.O Chilli 4.2/5

One of my favourite dish on the menu is the Longevity Fish Noodles with Crabmeat and X.O Chilli. Made using fish paste, the noodles are al dente with a hint of fish flavour, yet not too fishy. Also served with fresh crabmeat, the noodles is cooked in X.O chilli to give it a subtle spice fragrance which elevates the whole enjoyment.

Water Chestnut Cake with Osmanthus Fragrance 3.8/5, Traditional Pan Fried Nian Gao 4/5

End the meal on a sweet note with their Refreshing Water Chestnut Cake with Osmanthus Fragrance. However, I find the osmanthus flavour to be a tad too bland. The Traditional Pan Fried Nian Gao with Egg fares better with a nice chewy texture and a taste which is not too sweet. Definitely one of the better ones I had.

Five Set Menus
Peace & Bliss Set (2 pax) - $118
Harmony with Joy Set (4 pax) - $238
Luck & Prosperity Set (6 pax) - $368
Fortune of Gold Set (8 pax) - $528

Li Bai Cantonese Restaurant @ Sheraton Towers Singapore - Convival Celebrations With A Line-Up Of Heart-warming Reunion Feasts

Li Bai Cantonese Restaurant at Sheraton Towers Singapore celebrates the Lunar New Year with a line-up of heart-warming reunion feasts from 19 January to 19 February 2019. Delectable festive takeaway treats are also available for a grand get-together in the comfort of home.

Australian Lobster, Salmon Roe and Hamachi Yusheng Loh Hei Platter

New this year at Li Bai is the Salmon Roe and Hamachi Yusheng Loh Hei Platter ($98/$178). The specially flown in hamachi and salmon roe from Japan is served atop a melange of quintessential ingredients like pomelo, yam, sweet potato, white radish, carrot and pickled ginger. Diners can choose to add on additional ingredients such as Australian lobster ($35 per 100g). It is available for both dine-in and takeaway. What stood out for me is the crispy red and white quinoa that added that extra textures to the Yu Sheng.

Braised Bird's Nest Soup in Mini Pumpkin

Comforting and yet nourishing is the Braised Bird's Nest Soup in Mini Pumpkin. Love how it is served in a mini pumpkin bowl.

Braised Abalone and Stuffed Beancurd Skin with Sea Cucumber, Dried Oyster and Black Moss

I have always enjoyed Pen Cai because of the one pot treasure that is braised with expensive and rare  ingredients. Hence I was really delighted when I was served the Braised Abalone and Stuffed Beancurd Skin with Sea Cucumber, Dried Oyster and Black Moss. It may not be the treasure pot that I was looking forward to but it has many of the delicious ingredients which I enjoyed, done excellently.

Pan-fried Kurobuta Roll served with Crispy Noodle and Matsutake Mushroom

A dish that got me slurping to the last drop is the Pan-fried Kurobuta Roll served with Crispy Noodle and Matsutake Mushroom. I enjoyed the crispiness of the noodle as it soaked up the savoury gravy. Noteworthy is the pan-fried kurobuta roll that is stuffed with crunchy yam.

Almond Cream with Hasma, Pan-fried Nian Gao with Cane Sugar, Water Chestnut Cake

Wrapping up the dinner, we have the Almond Cream with Hasma, Pan-fried Nian Gao with Cane Sugar, Water Chestnut Cake. The traditional Nian Gao with Red Dates and Lotus Seeds ($50) and Water Chestnut Cake with Osmanthus ($50) is away for takeaway.
