Lobster Yusheng with Bird Nest

The Yusheng dish is specially created to have the ‘dragonbird’ significance so you can toss to abundance and fortune with the heavenly combination of the luxurious lobster meat and the nourishing goodness of bird nest in the Lobster Yusheng with Bird Nest (龙虾燕窝鱼生). There are 2 serving sizes: Regular $38++ (up to 4 pax) and Large $68++ (8 to 10 Pax).

After a good toss, you may crow with delight with the crowd pleasers which are comprised of the following 12 Chinese zodiac-representative dishes, amongst many others in the hearty buffet spread. Trust me, you will definitely be suffering from a serious food coma.

Zodiac: Dog

Wolfberry Drunken Herbal Chicken 杞醉鸡

The hero cleverly incorporates chicken since it is the Year of the Rooster but the dish represents the Dog as the Chinese word in wolfberry (枸杞) sounds like dog (狗) in Chinese. With Dang Gui or Chinese Angelica Root and Chinese wine, the dish is given a nutritious boost with a generous sprinkling of wolfberries and embellished with ginger and spring onion.

Zodiac: Pig

Deep Fried Yam with Crabmeat & Pearl Mushroom

Yam and crab meat deep-fried to a golden crisp and paired with plump pearl mushroom (珍珠菇) in Cajun powder, it is both an auspicious and delicious starter.

Zodiac: Snake

Braised Dried Treasures Pot with Sea Cucumber & Snake Gourd

With snake gourd like emerald lending appeal to the dried seafood such as the auspicious fish maw, dried oysters, mushroom, sea cucumber and fa cai in a pot, it is a Chinese New Year dish not to be missed.

Zodiac: Rooster

Rock Salt Baked Chicken Thigh

With dang gui and Chinese wine, this rock sea salt-baked chicken thigh is not only rich in oriental touch but 盐 signifies 缘 or affinity of bringing people together.

Monkey Mushroom with Chinese Spinach

A vegetarian dish with a trio of monkey mushroom, bailing mushroom and Chinese mushroom, atop a bed of Chinese spinach, makes it a must-have dish on the first day of lunar new year.

Mongolian-Style Grilled Lamb Chop

This meaty grilled lamb chop seasoned with Chinese wine, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves and fennel seeds, will let you eat to your heart’s content.

This steamed rabbit fish, paired with salted vegetables, tomato slices, sour plum, young ginger and red chilli is another must-have dish during the lunar new year.
