Sumptuous CNY Dinner at Genting Palace @ Resorts World Genting

Chinese New Year meals are always about propitious meanings and blessings. If you want to take your CNY meal to the next level of auspiciousness, try dining 6000 ft above sea level. What else can beat this epitome of 步步高升 (bu bu gao sheng- reaching higher level with each step). Genting Palace Restaurant at Resorts World Genting offers a multitude of special menus to usher the year of the Monkey in style.

My favourite dish during the CNY

Lucky Salmon "Yee Sang"- RM138.00 nett (L)

Toss for luck!

The menu starts with my favourite CNY dish. We tossed the Lucky Salmon Yee Sang boisterously while uttering good wishes. The platter of colourful crisps and slivers of vegetable was mixed till fresh salmon slices became hidden gems. This restaurant's version is nuttier, drizzled generously with aromatic sesame oil and bound by sweet plum sauce that never goes out of fashion. I was not the only one salvaging the bits with the chopstick after we were done with the dish.

Chef Jacky Yap- the man behind the sumptuous dishes

Double-Boiled Chicken Soup with American Ginseng- RM68.00 nett per pax

Extremely soothing, this clear broth inherits the essence of chicken that is solidly nutritious. Redolent with scents of herbs, this bowl of goodness contains collagen-rich fish maw and ground chicken meat set with blended toufu. Every spoonful warms the gut with sweetness that made us silent with appreciation.

Braised Pork Knuckle & Baby Abalone with Sea Moss and Sea Cucumber- RM298.00 nett per order

Prosperity describes this pot of pork knuckle braised with baby abalone, seamoss and sea cucumber. Every bit representing wealth and riches, the braised gravy is at the right thickness macerating its ingredients. Pork meat is tender and melts in the mouth, best eaten with its layer of fat that imbues more satisfaction than guilt. Baby abalones score with al dente texture and toothsome oceanic taste. Embrace abundant of fortune with sea moss and springy sea cucumber infused with a woody herbal flavour.

Steamed & Baked Mountain Chicken with Chinese Herbs & Red Dates

Steamed and Baked Mountain Chicken comes appetizing with a heady fragrance. The marriage of wine and herbs accentuates the flavour of chicken meat. Do not be deceived by its lack of colour as the taste turns out to be piquant with potency that will make you nod in agreement at the first bite.

Stewed Preserved Meat with Arrowhead Fried Rice- RM45.00 nett per order

Chinese New Year somehow makes lap cheong (waxed meat) more valuable than usual as they simply enhance the festive zing. Saltiness is balanced with slices of arrowhead making the rice a pleasant medley of comforting staple.

Pan-fried River King Prawns Vietnam Style- RM188.00 nett per order

Hot and steamy sweet and sour sauce poured over the sugar globe

When the globe melts, it hatches the delectable dish

The next dish stole our hearts with an impressive globe embellishment made out of malted sugar caging the crimson king prawns. Hot and steamy sweet and sour sauce is poured over the globe which then cracks to divulge the delectable crustaceans. King prawns are meaty and its sweetness spoke a lot about its freshness. Slathered with sweet chili gravy rich with ginger and garlic, every bite is an indulgence. My father and I were moping the thick gravy with the garnishing lettuce.

Chilled Creamy Green Tea Cake- RM26.00 nett per order

Chilled Creamy Red Bean Cake- RM26.00 nett per order

Chilled Osmanthus Flower Jelly Cake- RM26.00 nett per order

Towards the end, we calmed the palates with Chinese chilled cake that comes in three flavours. The Chilled Creamy Green Tea Cake gained most popularity as its matcha fragrance is pronounced, filling the mind with a refreshing comprehension of Chinese sticky cakes. The red bean version could be better with a little more flavour although there were whole beans embedded. The Osmanthus Flower flavour tastes a little simpler but with more jelly texture.

Special Traditional Pineapple Tarts- RM25.00 nett for 12 pieces and RM35.00 nett for 20 pieces

If you have the chance, do try Resorts World Genting's Special Traditional Pineapple Tarts which are distributed at Genting Palace, Good Friends Restaurant and Hainan Kitchen. Its pastry has a hint of crisp amid the soft buttery texture which makes it special, encasing a big lump of pineapple filling.
