Essence of 8 Treasures Platter
The 8 treasures platter consists of: salad of pacific clam, prawn, smoked oysters, sea asparagus, black fungus, "fatt choy" and roasted pine nuts with essence Vinaigrette. This was my personal favourite as I loved how everything just came together nicely.
The prawns in this one were big and firm, as if they were harvested from the toned muscles of a weightlifter. The roasted pine nuts added a brilliant touch of sweet, nutty flavour to the bowl of (mostly) seafood.
Peking Duck
Peking duck is on FREE-FLOW in this CNY buffet. You have to camp near the station because they run out so fast!
Sixth Happiness Seabass in Essence
For this dish, they cooked the seabass together with carrot pearl, barley, green zucchini pearl, yellow zucchini pearl, white fungus and essence of chicken. As expected of a seabass, this was tender, yet firm in texture. You might want to start with this fish first before digging in into other dishes that are more rich and flavourful.
Seventh Heaven Crabmeat Noodle in Essence Stew
The Seventh Heaven Crabmeat Noodle in Essence Stew was the most popular dish that night. Made with Hong Kong noodles with yellow chives, mushroom, crabmeat, chinese mushroom and lily bulb in essence stew, this is one dish that will make you go back for multiple servings.
The flavour of the chicken essence comes out nicely, complementing the egg-y HK noodles with its sweet and savoury aroma.
Fortune Chicken with Essence Consommé
EssenceTIAL Yusheng
Of course, how can it be a CNY feast without the good ol' "lo hei"?
And, just in case you are wondering, yes, the chicken essence can also be found in their "yu sheng"! Those brown cubes that you see in the photos are actually chicken essence jelly cubes!
"It's never a 'good' lo hei unless your plate is messy enough"
Essence of Chicken Hot Pot Broth
How often do you get the chance to have a hotpot that is made from BRAND'S Essence of Chicken? Served in individual Chinoiserie chic pots with customised designs of dragons in hues of majestic yellow and royal blue, this is one unique hotpot you would not want to miss.
TIP: Add in lots of vegetables to sweeten the broth!
