Man Fu Yuan CNY 2021
Start your own Chinese New Year tradition at InterContinental Singapore Man Fu Yuan (MFY). Now this is one highlight that i look forward to every lunar new year. This year, Executive Chinese Chef Aaron Tan and his team at MFY will be offering a selection of delicacies and prosperity prix-fixe menus until 26 February 2021 and it caters to couples and also intimate gatherings with family.
We tossed our way into prosperity with visually stunning 60-inch Blossoms of Spring Prosperity Yu Sheng adorned with Hokkaido scallops, salmon, crispy fish skin, shaped in the form of the Chinese character ‘Chun’ (春). The golden yuzu and plum sauce with shallot oil provided refreshing and light sweetness to the yu sheng. It is also possible to arrange for individually portioned yu sheng for your own tossing! For a 牛 beginning, there's also a yusheng with with Japanese Omi A4 Wagyu beef with salmon and Hokkaido scallops.
Next up, a luxurious Superior crab meat and pumpkin bisque with generous amount of birds nest and crab meat and roe in pumpkin husk. Lovely savory sweetness in this one! A must order IMO.
The Signature West Lake Longjing smoked duck with truffle sauce (from real truffles) make for a good appetizer with its thin crispy skin and juicy meat.
2 sharing pots are available this year, one is the all-time favorite Man Fu Yuan Abundance Treasure Pot (Pen Cai) and the other a Classic Braised Beef Pot, featuring a variety of beef cuts such as Beef Tendon, Louver and Brisket. Personally i could never say no to the melange of braised seafood and meat in the Pen Cai and this year's edition is topped with succulent Canadian lobster, juicy prawns and black trumpet mushrooms among 18 premium ingredients. Both pots are available for takeaway so make sure you get your hands on them asap.
CNY is not CNY if i don't get a taste of the Signature Roasted suckling pig with five grain glutinous rice and Chinese cured meat. The rice is ever so fragrant though i found the piglet a tad gamey this time.
Sweet endings come in a nashi pear filled with double boiled sweetened hashima, gingko, red dates and lotus seeds. This warm dessert provided a soothing end to a delightful meal.
