Double Boiled Chinese Herb with Dried Scallop and Fish Maw 包罗万象

The double boiled soups here are always a delight to savour. Our soup course was laden bountifully with dried scallop, fish maw, conch and Chinese herbals, the combination of all precious ingredients giving it a distinctive sweet and wholesome flavor that we just could not get enough. I instantly felt my body warm up and invigorated as I sipped the soup.

Steamed Kerai Fish with Superior Soy Sauce 黄袍加身

Fish dish is always a welcome sight during CNY, as fish symbolises “surpluses and remainders for the new year”. Our next dish was steamed Kerai Fish with Superior Soy Sauce. The fish was prepared with the scales still intact, it glisten with a jewel-like luster and cooked to a crisp. Being my first time had this fresh water fish, I loved it. The freshness and natural sweetness of the fish just shone through. My only gripe was the fish is quite bony.

Also make presence were a circular of homemade bean curd and braised dried oysters. The drop shape homemade bean curd look innocuous but turned out to be a big hit among us. It was brilliantly flavored by dried shrimp hidden within, the water chestnut and finely chopped vegetables provided an adequate crunchiness to the bean curd.
