Chinese New Year Menu @ Genting Palace Restaurant

Chinese New Year is nearing. How is your preparation? Have you bought all the goodies, clothes, cookies, gifts for beloved and bus ticket to go back home town? I hope you guys doing fine. It will be pretty busy for Chinese or those celebrating starting next week :D

 

One of the most important things for Chinese New Year is the get-together moment with family and friends. Dining at cozy restaurant which serve great Chinese food is a bonus to make the reunion more meaningful.

 

 I was recently being invited to taste the Chinese New Year dishes offerings in Genting Palace. This was my second time here and seem like nothing change in term of the restaurant interior.

Lucky Salmon Yee Sang RM138 nett (L)

 

I like salmon and having fresh salmon in Chinese dish such as Yee Sang / Chinese type of salad is awesome!

Double Boiled Chicken Soup with American Ginseng- RM68 nett per pax

The bowl looks like a pot :D The white colour thing at my spoon is fish maw which is great for ladies who want to look youthful as the chef said. The yellowish insoluble thing in the soup is egg blended with chicken.

Braised Pork Knuckle & Baby Abalone with Sea Moss and Sea Cucumber RM298 nett per order

Braised Pork Knuckle & Baby Abalone with Sea Moss and Sea Cucumber is the greatest among all according to my friend. The presentation was great! I was drooling looking at the baby abalone they served :P

Steamed & Baked Mountain Chicken with Chinese Herbs & Red Dates RM168 nett per nos

Steamed & Baked Mountain Chicken with Chinese Herbs & Red Dates is cooked with free-range chicken from Broga Hill. It is a healthy dish with so many herbs added but a little bit salty to my friend's palate.

Pan-fried River King Prawns “ Vietnam” Style RM188 nett per order

Pan-fried River King Prawns “ Vietnam” Style RM188 nett per order

Pan-fried River King Prawns “ Vietnam” Style is a "playful" dish. You have to pour the heated honey on top of the coagulated malt surrounded the prawns like a ball and wait for a while for its to melt. The shell of river king prawns already opened for the ease of the diners. I was glad that I no need to work out on it to open the shell. The gigantic prawns were tasty.

Stewed Preserved Meat with Arrowhead Fried Rice RM45 nett per order

Chilled Creamy Green Tea Cake RM26 nett per order

Dessert time! Anyone like green tea or matcha? This served chill creamy green tea cake gains lot of likes among us. We even re-order for second plate. With first bite, it has strong green tea flavour in mouth but it does not taste bitter and has a smooth texture.
