Chinese New Year Menu 2020 @Chynna, Hilton Kuala Lumpur

Chinese New Year is a time for family reunions and gathering. The Reunion Dinner is the most important meal and the tradition signifies family values of love, respect and bond. Food plays an important role due to their symbolic meanings of luck and auspiciousness. Most of the dishes served during Chinese New Year are symbolic of something positive and hopeful. Look forward to the year of the Rat with Hilton Kuala Lumpur with a feast of auspicious cuisine known to bring good luck at Chynna, Hilton Kuala Lumpur’s premier Chinese restaurant.

At Chynna, immerse in Tang Dynasty styled opulence lit by silk lanterns and sip specially brewed 8-treasure tea (pat pou cha) poured from a metre-long spouted kettle maneuvered with much martial skills by the one and only resident Tea Master while you wait for your dishes to be served. Hilton, by its brand, leaves it to no chance when it comes to classy oriental dining especially during the Chinese New Year. Check out Hilton's Chinese dishes by the skilled Chef Lam this year.

Smoky Chicken with Rice Krispies Yee Sang

Toss to good fortune with Chynna’s signature Yee sang for 2020, the Smoky Chicken with Rice Krispies Yee Sang. Inspired from the song "Lao shu ai da mi" (Rat loves big rice), Chef Lam makes it a barn affair with smokey chicken instead of raw fish. To compensate the soft fish meat texture that we are used to in Yee Sang, chicken meat was made starkly tender and succulent. Every bite is accompanied by a festive crisp with not only the crackers but also rice crispies to welcome a promising new year.

Toss to good fortune!

One must also try the Strawberry and Macadamia Nuts Yee Sang, Crispy Fish Skin and Salted Egg Yolk Soft Shell Crab Yee Sang, Norwegian Salmon Yee Sang with Passion fruit Sauce and Traditional Norwegian Salmon Yee Sang.

Price starts from RM128 for half portion and RM238 for full portion.

Braised Tomato Puree Soup with Seafood, Vegetarian Fins and Crushed Almonds

This tummy warmer is no ordinary tomato soup. Take a spoonful and be amazed how the humble tomato can score. Seafood gave it a savoury dimension while the almonds gave a unique appeal.

Eight Treasure Salt Baked Chicken Chef Lam Style

There is no skimping on ingredients when it comes to the Eight Treasure Salt Baked Chicken. Loveably salty, the chicken is toothsome with a clever balance of Chinese herbs and spices. 

Steamed Moontail Grouper with Green Lime and Garlic Chili Sauce

Those who appreciates fish will understand the irresistible outcome of garlic and ginger on fish. The steamed moontail grouper captured our hearts with exactly those ingredients. On top of that, the tactful use of lime made the taste clear and appetizing.

Freshness of fish was apparent

Sliced Abalone with Sea Cucumbers, Dried Oysters, Sea Moss and Chinese Cabbage in Claypot

This dish owes its taste to nothing else other than its own umami goodness. Abalone with sea cucumbers, dried oysters and sea moss are simply braised together with perfect timing for that a textural pleasure of Chinese dried seafood. 

Stir Fried Prawns with Kam Heong Pepper Sauce

Crunchy prawn meat absorbs the best of two cooking styles when stir fried with Kam Heong and Pepper. The bold taste of pepper tantalizes the tastebuds for a lip smacking moment. 

Fragrant Fried Rice With Preserved Duck Meat Wrapped in Lotus Leaf

Down to earth, the fried rice gives substantial comfort. The lotus leaf lends a woody aroma while dried shrimps give spikes of enjoyable flavour. Savour it slowly and take pleasure in the taste of the duck meat emerging as you chew. 

Double Boiled Almond Cream with Gum Tragacanth and Premium Musang King Dessert

Chef Lam brilliantly draws the curtain to the meal with the high of delectable desserts leaving guests hankering for more. Sink your teeth into a lump of Musang King durian wrapped in snow skin for that divine moment. Then, sooth the trachea with silkly double boiled almond cream with tendrils of beneficial peach gum which texture is not much different than that of bird's nest's.
