Eggs 'n Things @ Plaza Singapura - Usher In The Lunar New Year With Limited Edition Festive Specials

Making its debut outside of Haiwaii and Japan, Eggs 'n Things launches its flagship outlet at Plaza Singapura early last year. For this Lunar New Year, they have collaborated with Bee Cheng Hiang to roll out a series of delectable limited edition festive specials.

Bee Cheng Hiang Bak Kwa Garlic Fried Rice 4/5

The first dish we had was the Bee Cheng Hiang Bak Kwa Garlic Fried Rice ($15.88) which comes in a plate of fragrant roasted garlic fried rice, mixed with generous bits of eggs and Bee Cheng Hiang bak kwa, before being topped with a sunny side up. Though I felt that the dish lacked the smoky wok hei, the copious amounts of egg and sweet bak kwa complemented the garlicky fried rice well.

Eggs Benedict with Crackling Roasted Pork Belly 3.5/5

The Eggs Benedict with Crackling Roasted Pork Belly ($18.88) comes with a twist, substituting the usual brunch ingredient with roasted pork belly. Perfectly poached eggs with their oozy molten cores, drenched in a creamy tangy mustard hollandaise sauce, my only gripe was the pork belly which was crispy yet tougher to chew with a slightly rubbery center. The tater tots cooked to a perfect crisp was a welcoming side.

Azuki Mochi Pancakes with White Chocolate Ganache 3.8/5

End the meal on a sweet note with the Azuki Mochi Pancakes with White Chocolate Ganache ($18.88) which features Eggs 'n Things signature pancakes with fresh chewy mochi. Extremely soft and fluffy, the crunchy nuts added to the pancakes contributed a nice textural contrast to the dish. It comes doused in a sweet white chocolate ganache before being topped with delicately sweet red beans and mandarin-shaped red bean paste mochi. However, it might get overwhelming after a while, so the dish is best shared among friends.

Honey Mint Grapefruit Green Tea 4/5

The Honey Mint Grapefruit Green Tea ($6.88) is a refreshing and sweet green tea blend of tropical citrus, herbs and natural honey.

These limited edition specials are available from 26 Jan – 28 Feb 2019, from Monday to Sunday (10am to 10pm). Prices listed above are exclusive of GST and service charge.

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.

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
