Xin Cuisine @ Holiday Inn Atrium Singapore - Ushers In A Prosperous Year Of The Ox

Xin Cuisine at Holiday Inn Atrium Singapore ushers in a prosperous Year of the Ox with perennial favourites for takeaways and lavish set menus for up to 8 persons.

Alaskan Crab with Salted Egg Yolk Sauce Yu Sheng 3.8/5

For this year Lo Hei, Xin Cuisine introduces the Alaskan Crab with Salted Egg Yolk Sauce Yu Sheng ($98/$138) available for both dine-in and takeaway. The salted egg yolk sauce gives the yu sheng a tangy twist to the traditional taste. However, I feel that the sweetness can be reduced and the salted egg yolk sauce can be more prominent.

Trilogy of Dim Sauce Delicacies 4/5

Before moving to dinner proper, we started with a Trilogy of Dim Sauce Delicacies. On the plate, we have Pork Dumpling, Deep-fried Prawn Dumpling with Salad Sauce and Deep-fried Yam Dumpling. My favourite is the yam dumpling shaped like a swan with fragrant yam encase by a crispy exterior.

Double-boiled Conch Meat with Dried Scallops & Cordyceps Flower 4.2/5

The Double-boiled Conch Meat with Dried Scallops & Cordyceps Flower is a hearty and nourishing soup to line the stomach before starting on the mains.

Abalone Treasure Pot 4.5/5

Pen Cai which is customarily eaten during Lunar New Year is a festive casserole hotpot dish that symbolises prosperity and abundance. The Abalone Treasure Pot is layered to the brim with premium ingredients such as whole abalone, fresh scallop, deep-fried fish maw, sea cucumber, live prawns,  roasted meat and more.

Wok-fried Glutinous Rice with Preserved Meat 4.2/5

Ending the mains, we have the Wok-fried Glutinous Rice with Preserved Meat. A delectable and excellent rice dish showcases the use of Chinese cured meats to elevate an ingredient that we eat almost daily to a whole different level.

Xin's Deep-fried Nian Gao with Coconut Milk 3.5/5

Last but not least, we have the Xin's Deep-fried Nian Gao with Coconut Milk to wrap up the sumptuous dinner.

A notable addition this year is a special takeaway set menu for five packed in a beautiful customised gift box made for gifting or personal enjoyment on top of the new exquisite dine-in dishes.

Season of Wealth Golden Scallop Yusheng 4.5/5

For this Lunar New Year, Group Executive Chef Foo has conjured a wholesome and healthful Season of Wealth Golden Scallop Yuseng ($108/$168) available at all Crystal Jade all fine-tuning restaurants. The refreshing yusheng with ikura and sweet scallop slices are boasted by crispy and crunchy from the abundance of fresh vegetables, fruits, housemade pickled vegetables, crispy rice, walnuts, deep-fried yam strips and Hsin Chu bee hoon. It is finished with an olive oil-based dressing with flower blossom syrup and plum sauce.

Crispy Charcoal Grilled Superior Sea Cucumber with Oyster Sauce 4.5/5

From Crystal Jade Palace, we had the Crispy Charcoal Grilled Superior Sea Cucumber with Oyster Sauce ($28). The delicacy is first braised then grilled briefly over binchotan imparting an alluring smoky accent

Braised Vermicelli with Scallop with Egg White Topped with Crispy Conpoy 4.2/5

The Braised Vermicelli with Scallop with Egg White Topped with Crispy Conpoy ($36 per portion) from Crystal Jade Palace may look assuming but permeated with flavourful rich seafood stock, fresh scallops and fried conpoy. I would recommend adding some vinegar to accentuate the full enjoyment.

Chilled Double-boiled Snow Pear with Snow Lotus, Osmanthus and Honey Lemon 4.2/5

Dessert wise, the Chilled Double-boiled Snow Pear with Snow Lotus, Osmanthus and Honey Lemon ($13.80 per pax) is light and refreshing and yet elegantly presented. 

Molten Taro Moo-moo Bun 4.8/5

A special dessert at Crystal Jade Palace is the Molten Taro Moo-moo Bun ($3.80 per bun. minimum 3pc). Encased inside the cow-shaped fluffy bun is fragrant orh nee, lightly pan-fried in the bottom for that extra crispy finish. The bun is further enlivens with the addition of sesame.

Braised Pumpkin Thick Soup with Steamed Egg White, Prawn and Crab Meat 4.5/5

Flavourful and vibrant is the bowl of comforting Braised Pumpkin Thick Soup with Steamed Egg White, Prawn and Crab Meat ($22 per pax) from Crystal Jade Dining IN. A layer of silky steamed egg white covered the thick soup rendered from robust chicken stock and blended pumpkin.

Roasted Irish Duck with Crispy Rice in Chef's Special Sauce

Available at Crystal Jade Golden Palace, Dining IN and Pavilion is the Roasted Irish Duck with Crispy Rice in Chef's Special Sauce ($52/$90). It is an interesting and unique way of appreciating the roasted duck. I like how the succulent duck, eaten together with the lettuce gives it a refreshing finishing.

Braised Fish Tofu with Shiitake Mushroom and Black Moss in Oyster Sauce 4.5/5

A dish that I adore is the Braised Fish Tofu with Shiitake Mushroom and Black Moss in Oyster Sauce ($26.80 regular) available at Crystal Jade Jiang Nan, Kitchen and La Mian Xiao Long Bao. The soft, bouncy fish tofu has such a delightful bite that it felt like palate has been caress by a soft pillow.

Fried Conpoy & Taro Glutinous Rice Wrapped in Lotus Leaf 4.2/5

New for the festive takeaway selection is the Fried Conpoy & Taro Glutinous Rice Wrapped in Lotus Leaf ($26). Chef Foo's rendition of this popular festive staple, studded with tender chicken pieces, conpoy, and fluffy cubes of taro, adds texture and flavour.
