Prosperity Amberjack Lo Hei 4.2/5

New on the menu is the Prosperity Amberjack Lo Hei ($168 for large portion) that comes with a drawing of an elegant rooster standing majestically against a bamboo forest. Most restaurants nowadays preferred to use abalone, crabmeat or smoke for their Yu Sheng. Hence the delicate amberjack is welcoming sight.

Rich but yet comforting is the Double Boiled Wild Chicken Consomme with Abalone, Fish Maw and Wanton in Claypot ($228 Dine-in).

A good celebratory dish is the Braised Pork Belly with Sea Treasures in Claypot ($268 dine-in) which is available for both dine-in and takeaway. The pork belly which has been painstakingly prepared for almost 4 hours, poached and steamed, in order to achieve that mouth-wateringly tender piece of meat.

The Huat! Tart 3/5 and Auspicious Golden Pineapple 3/5

We also sampled some of these year's Lunar New Year goodies. One of them is the enlarge version of the quintessential bite-sized pineapple tart. Named as The Huat! Tart ($40.65 nett), this is a whole pineapple tart measuring 6.5 inch!

The Auspicious Golden Pineapple ($94.15) is a majestic work of art. The 9-inch tall five layer vanilla pound cake sandwiched with butter cream symbolises an abundance of wealth.

Wrapping up the dinner, we have 3 different types of nian gao creation. There is the popular Durian Nian Gao Roll, Deep Fried Yuan Yang Sesame Nian Gao and Ondeh Ondeh Inspired Nian Gao. My all time favourite is the Durian Nian Gao which is comes with layers of luscious D24 durian paste and gula melaka infused nian gao sprinkled with coconut flakes.

After almost two years, the wait is finally over! Paradise Group has opened its second Beauty in The Pot outlet at The Centrepoint in Orchard Road. Given the overwhelming response at their popular flagship outlet at One-KM Shopping Mall, the opening of its second outlet at the heart of Orchard Road makes it easier for me to get a table now, and more importantly, I do not need to travel all the way from the West to the East just to satisfy my hotpot craving.

The central location of the new outlet at The Centrepoint sees a larger seating capacity that can sit up to about 250 guests. It is almost twice the capacity of its flagship outlet.

At the new outlet, there is even a Kids’ play area. It is perfect for families who have kids as they can bring their kids for some play time while waiting for the ingredients to be prepared and served.

The new soup bases are only available at the new outlet. On top of that, it has also introduced the Quart Pot in the new outlet. It means you can try 4 different type of soup bases in one go. And you know what? That’s what I did. I tried all the 4 new soup bases!

There is even greater news for beauty pot lover as The Centrepoint outlet offers more selections of ingredients as compared to One-KM Shopping Mall outlet. I realised there are more choices of fresh seafood such as lobster, crab, mussel and scallop at its new outlet.
