Yee Sang with salmon fish and young mango shreds
Starting with the Toss of Prosperity, refreshing yee sang selections at hand with a choice of traditional yee sang suace or go for a bit of an adventure with Japanese Wasabi yee sang sauce. Making its debut as well is the irresistable Crispy Fish Skin and Salmon Fish (RM98.00++ per half portion).

Toss to good fortune
Double-boiled maksutake mushroom with bamboo pith and free-range chicken
Warm the gut with nourishing double boiled mushroom, bamboo pith and chicken soup. The mushrooms did a wonderful job in bestowing a rich umami taste on top of the earthy undertones to the soup. I couldn't have enough of the crunchy bamboo piths too.

Roasted crispy chicken with sweet corn and butter
Known for his innovative streak, Chef Bryan Teh decided to bring the food of the food together in this dish. Being chicken feed, the humble corn gives a harmonious taste when roasted together with chicken.

Hong Kong style steam mandarin fish in superior soya sauce
A good dish of fish does not need much. Freshness and good timing make their steamed fish quickly  snatched up in simple superior soya sauce.

Wok fried tiger prawns in superior soya sauce
Relish in abundance of happiness as you unshell the prawns which when pronounced in Cantonese bears the sound of laughter. The intense flavour that penetrates the shell right into the crunchy meat will leave you lip-smacking.


Braised black mushroom with dried oyster and sea moss
Some dishes are best in traditional form. Dried oysters braised with sea moss and mushrooms were inviting as always. Brocolli was soft and a nice neutralizer to the taste buds.

Steamed organic brown rice with glutinous rice and smoked duck
Add smoked duck to nutritious steamed brown rice with bits of turkey ham and chicken bacon to make an appetizing dish. It was appealing as the meat lends savoury specks of flavour to the rice.

Double-boiled red date with sweet peach resin and snow fungus
We ended our meal by soothing our throats with an elegant dessert. Traditional Chinese peach resin and fungus soup, double-boiled with red dates washed our paletes while we continued chatting over some crispy fried nian gao and soft coconut milk jelly till we remembered it was not yet a weekend the next day.

Ryoshi Prosperity Yee Sang
Roar to a great start with the tossing of their Prosperity Yee Sang. With brittle sang meen and tempura crisps, this yee sang is sure to give that auspicious crackle to articulate those good wishes. Lightly flavoured, it allows room for appreciation of its ingredients especially the fresh salmon meat.

Tororo Nabe
Udon

Ryoshi Sashimi Mori
Those who didn't have enough of the fish from the yee sang can bite into the toothsome Sashimi Mori. Savour the sweetness of fresh seafood in its most original form. My favourite has to be the scallops and shrimps.


Dragon Maki
Get on a roll with the comforting Dragon Maki. Tiger prawn meat rolled inside nori (seaweed) and a blanket of sushi rice with a spread of mayonaise topped with golden ebiko (shrimp roe) cannot go wrong. 

Saba Teriyaki
If raw fish does not tickle your fancy, dig into cuts of sweet saba (mackerel) grilled with a brush of teriyaki sauce.  

 Tempura Mori
Those with a knack for fritters will like the Tempura Mori. Prawns, enoki and brinjals, fried with a dip of light tempura batter. Dip it into the tempura sauce for that delightful savoury crisp.

Karaage Tofu
Slurp up nearly-bland soft toufu sitting on a hot pan with accents from salty meat bits and pull slices of BBQ pork from the skewers while you chat away.

Buta Bara

Ala carte

Ryoshi Buta Don
Those up for a wholesome bowl of rice can opt for the Ryoshi Buta Don. Japanese rice served with caramelized BBQed pork meat and shredded nori (seaweed) binded with the unctuous yolk from a poached egg. A balanced and satisfying choice.

Buta Shabu Salad
Who says salad has to be boring? Expect some tender slices of pork tasting absolutely addictive with Japanese sesame sauce amid healthy greens when you order Buta Shabu Salad.

Negi Bacon
Fuel conversations wth more side dishes like the Negi Bacon. A simple yet aromatic leeks-in-blanket for casual eating.

A selection of Japanese liquors
Wine to complement your meal

This Chinese New Year, let Four Seasons take care of an indulging meal for you and your loved ones. With finely curate dishes, its Chinese restaurant, Yun House, is sure to tackle even the most discerning of tongues. Serving guests with commendable service and opulent settings overlooking the KLCC park, its undeniable that Yun House offers an exclusive dining experience.

Hailing from Hong Kong, their resident chef, Jimmy Wong, has vast experience in Chinese gourmet cooking in Singapore and China. His passion in cooking is clearly vereberated in his dishes, ranging from traditional to novelty.

Opulence and style at the Yun House
Salmon Belly Yee Sang
Yee Sang tossing is the first order of business. Chef Wong's composition of 18 ingredients is an auspicious representation of bou bou gou xing , which means improvement in every step. Every year, Chef Wong will add one ingredient more to his Yee Sang reciepe which started from 12 ingredients. 

What is interesting about the platter is that brittle fried sang mee is used instead of coloured crispies, making it a healthier choice with the meaning of longevity. Crackling fried fish skin is also thrown into the equation, amplifying its tastiness. Of course, the riches part of the fish, the salmon belly, is used to complete the dish.

Chef's Special Dim Sum Platter
From left: Spring roll with foie gras and seafood,
mushrooms and truffle oil dumpling
and steamed radsih cake with dried scallop
Yu House serves to impress right away with their Dim Sum trio featuring spring roll, dumpling and radish cake. Bite through the crackling skin of the spring roll to discover the gamy quality of foie gras amid prawn meat.

The dumpling was a lump of earthy goodness, marrying truffle oil and mushrooms. The fragrance of truffle oil on the translucent skin did a good job whetting appetite. 

The third dim sum is no regular cube of cake as it is steamed with dried scallops which lends the soft cake a delightful briny dimension.

Braised Money Bag filled with Abalone
Perched on 2 crunchy and thick asparagus is a bag made of delicate toufu skin containing scrumptious jewels of a whole abalone and a Chinese dried oyster. A symbol of abundance, this dish is to be savoured slowly. The carefully braised seafood  duo is tender and infused with flavour. There should be lip-smacking at the end.

Relishing in braised abalone
Braised Rice Vermicelli with Fresh Crab Meat and Caviar
Take it with a drizzle of vinegar
Relish in caviar on braised vermicelli with shreds of crab meat. Take it with a drizzle of red vinegar to accentuate the broth that soaks the al dente noodles. Be treated to savoury spurts when the caviar pops in the mouth while crab meat gives a good seafood undertone.

Dessert Duo
Double Boiled Superior Bird's Nest with Almond Cream
with Chef's Special Fried Rice Cake
Chef Wong leaves guests feeling divine at the end of the meal with nourishing double boiled bird's nest in almond cream. Silky and smooth, almond cream is ground from scratch in their own kitchen. Downing coopfuls of the warm soup will definitely up your collagen intake. Neatly beside it, is a block of fried rice cake. This is a traditional Chinese snack sandwhiching a layer of nian gao (rice cake) between a slice of yam and sweet potato. At Yun House, the snack is refined, using tempura batter to clasp the sandwich together. The layer of nian gao is thicker and the slices of yam and purple sweet potato thinner for a satisfying bite.
