Would you like a pomegranate, or a peanut? Said the comely waitress. She proffered the tray of goodies, mind you, porcelain ones, sculpted by a Chinese artist of renown.
We had completed our menu of auspicious dishes by executive Cantonese chef Mr Kenny Ong who helms the Si Chuan Dou Hua at Top of UOB Plaza. The menu of authentic superior celebratory dishes are available until 5 March 2015.
For the Year of the Sheep, dishes inspired by this Chinese zodiac animal. Roasted sliced lamb with celery and carrots. Golden lamb prosperity yusheng.
And other visual tasty treats such as prosperity suckling pig stuffed with glutinous rice. A sight to behold when chef slices the portions.
Eight treasures chicken in shark cartilage soup. After which you can take on master Jackie Chan. And win.
Spicy sichuan pork knuckle. Proudly standing in a sea of sichuan peppercorn and chilli. After this, you need only breathe at Jackie Chan to send him flying.
And the most artistic-looking lunar new year dessert – pan-fried soy milk new year cake with soya bean crisps.
Book now for something different this year. Or look sheepish eating the same safe stuff.
