Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant @ Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel - Exquisite Dim Sum Artistry And Umami Eel Creations

Are you suffering from travel withdrawal during the current pandemic? Let Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant at Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel brings you to a gastronomic adventure with two exciting promotions - Exquisite Dim Sum Artistry (1 to 31 March 2021, lunch only) and Umami Eel Creations (1 to 30 April 2021).

Missing Yum Cha in Hong Kong? Wan Hao's team has created a selection of refined masterpieces that boasts a creative, contemporary twist with a touch of class. Diners can look forward to morsel of happiness such as Deep-Fried Avocado Vermicelli Prawn Roll, Scallop with Banana Spring Roll, Steamed Crab Meat & Chinese Sausage Siew Mai, and Deep-fried Chinese Chives Iberico Pork Glutinous Dumpling.

For April, Wan Hao will bring you to Japan with the Umami Eel Creations. The promotion showcases an eel-centric menu using salt water white eel and fresh water yellow eel. While eel is a delicacy commonly found in Japan, it is also a treasured delicacy in traditional Chinese cuisine known for its high vitamins, nutrients and health benefits.

Poached White Eel with Premium Chinese Wine in Superior Soup 4/5

The Poached White Eel with Premium Chinese Wine in Superior Soup is an aromatic and hearty execution highlighting the clean, fatty and succulent white eel.

Steamed Whole White Eel with Black Garlic Sauce 4.2/5

Another beautifully done dish is the Steamed Whole White Eel with Black Garlic Sauce. I applauded the chef for the lovely concoction of the black garlic sauce, which excellently complements the fatty white eel. It is topped with fried garlic and spring onion to accentuate the enjoyment.

Wok-fried Yellow Eel with Garlic, Mao-tai Chinese Wine 4/5

It is a theatrical performance for the Wok-fried Yellow Eel with Garlic. The dish is set aflame with the addition of Mao-Tai Chinese Wine, binding the different ingredients together for a firework of flavours.

Braised White Eel with Abalone Sauce, Fish Paste Skin 4/5

I didn't know that eel is such a versatile ingredient. Besides poaching, steaming and stir-frying, Wan Hao also created the Braised White Eel with Abalone Sauce. The accompany abalone sauce plays an vital role in complementing the succulent white eel. Worth mentioning is the ball-shape fish paste skin. It has a very detectable texture and taste like a hollow fish ball.

Purple Sweet Potato Custard Layer Cake, Chilled Red Bean with Coconut Cheese Cake

Wrapping up the meal, we have the Purple Sweet Potato Custard Layer Cake and Chilled Red Bean with Coconut Cheese Cake. I feel the dessert kind of fall short of the savoury, though.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Chao Yang Fishball Noodle (潮阳手工鱼丸粿条面汤) @ Eunos Food Centre - Huge And Slippery Her Kiao

If you have been to Eunos Food Centre, you will notice the ever snaking queue at Chao Yang Fishball Noodles (潮阳手工鱼丸粿条面汤). Together with my friends, we reached the stall at 9am and queued for an hour for our food.

Fishball Noodle 4/5

Do note that if you order the smallest portion at $3, it does not come with the Her Kiao (fish dumpling). However, you will still be satisfied with the well-cooked noodle tossed in a concoction of sambal, vinegar and seasoning. Though there is no fish dumpling, you always get slices of fishcakes and fishballs.

We have heard so much about the fish dumpling here, so we order a bowl of Fish Dumpling Soup to make our trip worthwhile. Great that we did. The fish dumpling is huge and slippery. You can tell it is handmade, not those doughy type from the factory.

I would highly recommend trying the Her Kiao here. If you order the small portion, then you should add a bowl of fish dumpling soup. If not, you can order the bigger bowl that comes with fish dumpling.
