Usher in a prosperous and abundant Year of the Pig with sumptuous delicacies and specialty menus from Michelin starred Jiang-Nan Chun (江南春). Jiang-Nan Chun at Four Seasons Hotel Singapore has put together celebratory menus crafted by Executive Chinese Chef Tim Lam, that is available at $148, $178 and $228 per person for 6 courses, and range from $1088 per table of 8 persons to $5,688 per table of 10 persons for 8 courses. It also presents a range of sweet and savoury Lunar New Year delights, perfect for family celebrations or festive gifting.

Abundance Australian Lobster and Abalone Yu Sheng

Kick start the year with the Abundance Australian Lobster and Abalone Yu Sheng. Tossed to a year of prosperity and abundance.

Double-boiled Superior Bird's Nest with Fish Maw and Chinese Cabbage

Both comforting and nourishing is the Double-boiled Superior Bird's Nest with Fish Maw and Chinese Cabbage. Enjoyed the softness of the Chinese cabbage, while at the same time giving the bowl of soup a enhanced layer of sweetness.

Braised Boston Lobster in Superior Stock

The Braised Boston Lobster in Superior Stock is well executed. The lobster meat is cooked to a delightful bouncy texture, firm but still retain that juiciness.

Steamed Cod Fillet with Sliced Yunnan Ham and Mushrooms

Fish is an auspicious dish in Chinese New Year and this is represented in the Steamed Cod Fillet with Sliced Yunnan Ham and Mushrooms. The flavour was not as intense as I would have expected. It seems that rich flavour of the Yunan ham was not totally drawn out.

Barbecued Suckling Pig

Do you know that Jiang-Nan Chun has their own in house barbecue specialist? This is how serious they are with their Barbecued Suckling Pig. The skin was crispy and crackling. it is best enjoyed together with the steamed pancake, scallion and hoisin sauce.

Braised Sea Cucumber with Three Head Abalone

What stood out in the Braised Sea Cucumber with Three Head Abalone dish is the abalone. Everyone at the table was commenting how soft and tender it was, complemented by the excellent sauce.

Braised E-Fu Noodles with Crab Meat and Straw Mushrooms

While I enjoy the Braised E-Fu Noodles with Crab Meat and Straw Mushrooms, I could not really taste the crab meat. Even so, I think it will be masked by the rich, savoury sauce.

Double-boiled Hashima and Red Dates and Lotus Seeds

Wrapping up the dinner is the Double-boiled Hashima and Red Dates and Lotus Seeds. Served warm, the sweet soup somewhat helps to cleanse all the richness from the earlier dishes.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

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.
