Man Fu Yuan @ InterContinental Singapore - Cow-Nting Blessing With A Luxurious Selection Of Delicacies, Prosperity Prix-fixe Menus And Takeaway Goodies

Man Fu Yuan at InterContinental Singapore celebrates the Year of the Ox with a luxurious selection of delicacies, prosperity prix-fixe menus and takeaway goodies. The Chinese New Year menus will be available from 12 January to 26 February 2021.

Treasures Beef Yu Sheng

Tossing to a successful year ahead with the Treasures Beef Yu Sheng. In conjunction with the Year of the Ox, the chef has incorporated beef bak kwa to the lo hei on top of the usual salmon, crispy fish skin, shredded vegetables and pickles, dressed in golden yuzu and plum sauce. Diners can impress their family or guests with the new 60-inch Blossoms of Spring Prosperity Yu Sheng adorned with Hokkaido scallops and salmon, shaped in the form of the Chinese character "春", symbolises renewal and start of fresh and new beginnings.

Salmon Yu Sheng, Japanese Omi A4 Wagyu Beef, Hokkaido Scallops 4/5

There is even an individual Lo Hei for customers that prefers social distancing during this period. The Salmon Yu Sheng even comes with Japanese Omi A4 Wagyu Beef and Hokkaido Scallops.

Superior Crab Meat and Pumpkin Bisque, Bird's Nest, Crab Roe in Pumpkin Husk 4.2/5

Served in a pumpkin husk is the Superior Crab Meat and Pumpkin Bisque with Bird's Nest and Crab Roe. Bird's nest itself is tasteless, but under the pumpkin and crab roe's sweetness, each mouthful is packed with umami.

Signature Smoked Duck with Truffle Sauce 4.5/5

Not to be missed is the Signature Smoked Duck with Truffle Sauce. Usually, duck is paired with plum sauce, but truffle sauce has brightened the enjoyment to a whole new level.

Man Fu Yuan Abundance Treasure Pot 4.8/5

A popular CNY dish at Man Fu Yuan is their Abundance Treasure Pot which comes brimming with 19 different premium ingredients. In the pot, there are Australia sea cucumber, 10-head abalone, Canadian lobster, Hokkaido scallops, prawns, fish maw, goose web, pig trotters, sea whelk, oysters, chicken wings, preserved meat, liver sausage, black trumpet mushrooms, cabbage, soy bean gluten, fried yam, and fatt choy. The one thing that I like about Man Fu Yuan' Pen Cai is the goose web, a delicacy that is rarely served in restaurants nowadays. 

Man Fu Yuan Classic Beef Pot 4.5/5

The Classic Beef Pot is inspired by the Year of the Ox, which features varieties of beef packed with robust flavours. There are beef brisket, beef lover, beef tendon, beef cheek, beef stomach, beef balls, beancurd skin and white radish. It would be perfect if the culinary team also concocted a chilli sauce for the ingredients.

Oven-baked Cheesy Lobster with Asian Cream Sauce 3.8/5

A cheesy affair is the Oven-baked Cheesy Lobster with Asian Cream Sauce. It is a classic and delicious pairing that will not go wrong. However, I am not a fan of the capsicum that is added to the sauce.

Roasted Suckling Pig with Five Grain Glutinous Rice, Chinese Cured Meat 4.5/5

Another signature dish that I look forward to every year at Man Fu Yuan is their Roasted Suckling Pig with Five Grain Glutinous Rice, Chinese Cured Meat. A multi-sensual enjoyment with crackling skin and succulent meat. The preserved cured meats enhanced the flavours while the sticky glutinous rice provides the extra texture. It is so shiok.

Double-boiled Sweetened Hashima, Pear, Gingko Nuts, Red Dates, Lotus Seeds 3.5/5

Lastly, we wrapped up the sumptuous dinner on a sweet note with the Double-boiled Sweetened Hashima, Pear, Gingko Nuts, Red Dates, Lotus Seeds. A light and refreshing dessert that somewhat acts as a palate cleanser after a rich and heavily flavoured meal.

Yan Restaurant (宴) @ National Gallery Singapore - Resplendent Chinese New Year Delights at Yan

Yan Restaurant at National Gallery Singapore welcomes the Year of the Ox with a bounteous spread of festive delights for dine-in and takeaway from 15 January to 26 February 2021. The restaurant has put together six dine-in set menus featuring classic Cantonese fare and auspicious ingredients to ring in a year of good fortune. For convivial celebrations at home, Yan also presents a splendid array of sweet and savoury takeaways, available for delivery and self-collection.

Abalone & Yellow Tail with Gold Foil Lo Hei in 'Shun De' Style 4.2/5

If you aer looking for a different Lo Hei experience, I would strongly recommend Yan Restaurant's Abalone & Yellow Tail with Gold Foil Lo Hei in 'Shun De' Style ($92++/ $138++). It is the savoury take from the usual sweet-style Yusheng. Unlike the norm, it comes in a magnificent mountain of crispy vermicelli, complemented by shredded purple and yellow sweet potatoes, kailan, and pickled ginger. It is further surrounded by a ring of vibrant vegetables and sesame seeds and adorned with gold flakes. Not forgetting slices of yellowtail fish and braised abalone heralding wealth and abundance.

Roasted Duck Marinated with Mandarin Peel 4.2/5

Available for both dine-in and takeaway is the Roasted Duck Marinated with Mandarin Peel. The duck is beautifully cooked to tender with the zesty Mandarin peel infused into the crispy skin.

Double boiled Fish Maw, Chicken with Cordyceps Flower 4.5/5

A wholesome soup on the menu is the Double boiled Fish Maw, Chicken with Cordyceps Flower. The deep flavoured soup is the result of boiling mature hen, lean pork, jinhua ham, chicken feet, pork bones, cordyceps flower and dried scallops over 8 hours.

Braised Spring Chicken with 6-Head Whole Abalone 4/5

The Braised Spring Chicken with 6-Head Whole Abalone is an auspicious dish stuffed with Chinese chives, garlic, and dried shrimps, deep-fried and then braised for 3 hours. The tender chicken is accompanied by abalone and poached nai bai, giving a comforting and familiar dish an elevated take.

Poached Soon Hock with Carrot and Luffa 4/5

A must have in every Chinese New Year dinner is the fish dish. Symbolising the abundance of wealth is the Poached Soon Hock with Carrot and Luffa. Steamed fish is very common but with waxed duck and fermented beancurd is a nostalgic pairing that is rare these days. What interested me more is the used of luffa with the steamed fish. It is a first for me. Does it complement the fish? It doesn't, but it enlivens the flavours of the luffa instead.

Wok-fried Local Lobster with Superior Sauce, Shrimp Egg and Ee Fu Noodles 4.2/5

The well-loved flavours of shrimp roe noodles, a perennial Cantonese favourite in Hong Kong and Guangdong, are revealed in the luscious Wok-fried Local Lobster with Superior Sauce and Shrimp Egg and Ee Fu Noodles.

Double-boil Bird's Nest with Lily, White Fungus, Wolfberry and Lotus Seed 3.5/5

Pan-fried Nian Gao 4.2/5

Wrapping up the sumptuous meal is the Double-boil Bird's Nest with Lily, White Fungus, Wolfberry and Lotus Seed, and Pan-fried Nian Gao. The double-boil bird's nest sweet soup is brewed with rock sugar and pandan broth for a light and refreshing finish. The highlight for me is the Pan-fried Nian Gao, especially that layer of coated peanut and toasted grated coconut which brightens the enjoyment of the glutinous rice flour.
