Norwegian Salmon Yu Sheng with Organic Vegetable Salad

Kick start the Lunar New Year on a prosperity note with the Norwegian Salmon Yu Sheng with Organic Vegetable Salad. The Yu Sheng which comprises of pomelo, winter melon, peach, dried mandarin orange peel and yam, comes together harmoniously with the chef's signature sauce.

Braised Fish Maw with Fresh Crab Meat in Superior Sauce

Warming up the belly with a bowl of Braised Fish Maw with Fresh Crab Meat in Superior Sauce. I love to add a bit of vinegar to perk up the flavours with the sweetness of the fresh crab meat in each spoonful.

Signature Yan Ting Pun Choy

One of my favourite and a dish I look forward in every Chinese New Year dinner is the Pen Cai. The Signature Yan Ting Pun Choy comes in individual portion that is brimming with premium ingredients such as abalone, fish maw, oyster, sea cucumber, prawns, roasted duck and more.

Braised Five-head South African Abalone with Oyster and Black Moss in Oyster Sauce

Abalone which symbolizes good fortune is eaten during Chinese New Year and served in most Chinese New Year menu. The Braised Five-head South African Abalone with Oyster and Black Moss in Oyster Sauce, is cooked to folk tender, complemented by the delicious braising sauce.

Steamed Chilean Cod Fillet with Minced Garlic

I love the simplicity of the Steamed Chilean Cod Fillet with Minced Garlic, allowing the buttery cod fish to shine, complement by the superior soy sauce and minced garlic.

YanTing23
"Pik Fong Tong" style Crispy Chicken

I have tried "Pik Fong Tong Crab" before but "Pik Fong Tong" style Crispy Chicken is new to me. I enjoyed the crispiness of the chicken skin. However I find the seasoning is a bit on the salty side. Note worthy is how the fried basil leaf gives the dish a layer of aroma.

YanTing27
Braised Ee-Fu Noodles with Lobster in XO Sauce

The Braised Ee-Fu Noodles with Lobster in XO Sauce simply whetted up my appetite again with its slurping goodness in the unami XO sauce, accompanied by firm and bouncy lobster meat.

YanTing28
Fragrant Homemade Almond Tea with Peach Gum, served with Pan Fried Glutinous Rice Cake

Wrapping up the dinner, I have the Fragrant Homemade Almond Tea with Peach Gum, served with Pan Fried Glutinous Rice Cake. I have grown to a liking for peach gum for its crunchy texture, even thought its quite tasteless.

Yan Ting gourmet set menus is available from 21 January to 19 February 2019. For those planning to celebrate at the comfort of their home, there are perennial takeaway favourite such as Crispy Suckling Pig stuffed with Glutinous Rice, Braised Chicken stuffed with 10-head abalone, and Lunar New Year Pun Choy.
