Man Fu Yuan New Menu 2019
I've always been a fan of Man Fu Yuan's fine dining Cantonese dishes and there's more reason to love it now. Executive Sous Chef Aaron Tan is the new chef helming the kitchen and he has introduced a collection of 13 signature dishes. The essence of the MFY brand is still upheld even with the contemporary looking dishes.
We started with a "floating" Roma Tomatoes ($18/serving) stuffed with chunks of crab meat and ikura roe. This cold appetizer refreshed our palates with bursts of sweetness from the fruit and seafood, and accents of sourness from the yuzu and plum dressing. The tea-infused smoke wasn't just for show, the light scent also helped to reinvigorate us after a long day at work.
We became fully present at the meal when the Slow-braised Pork Ribs with Steamed Mantou ($36/serving) was served. The medley of sizzling red sauce certainly woke us up. Short pork ribs were braised in an array of Chinese spices, herbs and red glutinuous rice, which works as a natural colour enhancer for the The meat was served on the bone but came off with a light pull of the fork (or a stir of the spoon). I enjoyed the light savory herbiness of the dish, which was balanced by the sweet fluffy buns.
Perennial Cantonese classics are still served, including the new Braised Three-Head Abalone, fish maw, black truffle, broccoli ($128). Expect the usual fine standards of MFY. The meat was very tender and well flavored, having gone through 6 to 8 hours of braising.
Last but not the least, a super generous bowl of Double-boiled Premium Bird’s Nest in Almond Cream, and preserved mandarin orange ($98/pax). If you're wondering what's with the exorbitant price, well there's 70-80g of pure bird’s nest in this dessert. Trust me it's worth it. I'm not a fan of almond cream at all and when i saw the menu, i was thinking why anyone in their sane mind would ruin bird's nest like that. Well i was wrong. The almond cream wasn't all that strong tasting so it’s acceptable to a almond cream hater like me. It was actually pretty good. I actually finished all of it!
