Chinese New Year Set Menu @ Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar

2019 is the year of the Boar (pig 己亥猪年), which symbols a healthy and peaceful year. As Chinese New Year getting closer, it's time to look out for a good restaurant for reunion with the family members. Especially on the Chinese New Year's even dinner, which is also the reunion dinner that is important for all Chinese family.

To usher in Chinese New Year, Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar invites you for a auspicious Chinese New Year dinner at their Oriental Chinese Cuisine. Featuring dishes that are believed to bring health, wealth and happiness for the New Year, the CNY set menu will be available from 15 Jan to 19 Feb 2019 for lunch and dinner.

Begin the scrumptious feast by tossing the Yee Sang which symbolizes tossing up good fortune and abundance of wealth and long life. Diners could pick from a variety of yee sang from Japanese scallop, abalone to salmon.

According to Chinese Cuisine chef Lee Yew Ken, the yee sang comes in healthier version as no colouring is used in the ingredients. “We want diners to have a healthy meal during Chinese New Year,” he said.

The yee sang is priced from RM48 for half a portion and RM78 for one portion.

Next, warm up the tummy with Double-Boiled Soup with Dry Scallop, Fish Maw and Wild Red Mushroom. The Double-Boiled Soup is nourishing and comforting to the tummy.

Follow by Steamed Pearl Tiger Grouper with Superior Soy Sauce. Fish is a must have for every CNY meal as the Chinese saying “年年有余（鱼）”. We like the sweet, smooth and tender tiger grouper with soy sauce flavor.

The highlight of the CNY menu is Braised Assorted Sea Treasure in Bamboo Basket. Also known as the Poon Choi, this is another traditional CNY dish favoured by everyone. Poon Choi is special in that it is composed of many layers of different ingredients. It is also eaten layer by layer instead of “stirring everything up”. Diners can find Abalone, Sea cucumber, Dry Scallop, Fish Maw, Chinese Mushroom, Tiger Prawn, Smoke Oyster, Waxed Duck, Roasted Duck, Chinese cabbage and Broccoli simmered with the flavourful broth and premium ingredients, simply excellent!

Another of my favorite dish in the set was Sumptuous Waxed Duck with Smoked Oyster Rice wrapped in Lotus Leaves. One of the best parts, besides eating it, of course, is unwrapping it. The first thing you notice is the scent of the lotus leaf. As you start unwrapping it, that scent lingers, but now it's joined by the smell of the sweet sausage and seasonings like soy sauce and shallot. When you start eating it, all the ingredients come together, awesome!

Lastly, a sweet ending with Deep-Fried Nian Gao with Double Boiled Peach Jelly with Ginseng and Red Dates.

This Platinum Prosperity Set Menu is set at RM1598nett per Table for 10 person. Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar also has other CNY set menu priced from RM1,298 nett to RM1,998 nett per table for 10 people.

Smaller groups can opt for the Poon Choi set priced at RM598 nett for six people.
