Chinese New Year Menu 2016: Ti Chen Chinese Restaurant, The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur

Ti Chen (帝城), or better known as the "Emperor's Palace" in The Saujana Hotel is all set for the great celebration of the year of monkey. From 16 January to 22 February 2016, you can enjoy Ti Chen's Chinese New Year luxurious imperial gourmet feast signifying everything auspicious from prosperity, luck, fortune, health and longevity.

Salmon and Korean Pear Yee Sang

(三文鱼雪梨捞起)

Among the award winning Chef Sam Lu's signature yee sang creations, the latest one features juicy Korean pear to add an refreshing twist to the traditional condiments. Ours is further topped with crispy mushroom for the added crunch.

Other varieties including Abalone, Salmon, Jellyfish and Crispy Mushroom Yee Sang are available for dine-in and take-away from RM88 onwards. 

Double-Boiled Chicken Broth with Dried Seafood

(滚炖四宝鸡锅汤)

Served piping hot from the kitchen, the double-boiled chicken broth seems ordinary but it manages to leave my senses muted with its incredibly deep and sweet flavour which I enjoy very much. Simply nourishing and full-flavoured!

Steamed Red Snapper with Pickled Vegetables

(四川酸汤溜红曹)

Cooked in Szechuan style, the fish can be a winning taste on its own because of its firm, chewy texture. Nothing overcooked or rubbery here. The accompanying sauce is good to add a nice tang to the mildly sweet flesh.

Marinated Country Chicken with Oyster Sauce and Onion Oil

(湛江葱油手撕鸡)

Surprises come one after another. I am delighted that Ti Chen serves this old-school and homey dish here. Every tender slice of shredded chicken is evenly coated with aromatic oyster sauce and onion oil, exuding rich aroma and a nice spicy kick. 

Deep-fried Sea Prawns with Sand Powder Spice

(富贵黄金炸明虾)

Our expectation is further lifted when the crisp succulent prawns are served. Each huge piece imparts strong aroma of Chinese spice, and the shell falls off the prawns easily, revealing its nice crunchy meat. A simple dish but excellently cooked to wow the diners of the evening.

Stir-Fried Mixed Vegetables with Crispy Almond and Vegetarian Rolls

(杏片素菜伴鹅卷)

Next up is the beautifully presented vegetarian dish. The bird's nest-like shell is filled with asparagus, crisp almond slices and other vegetables, creating a myriad of colors and textures to please the palate. Surrounding the platter is the crisp vegetarian rolls stuffed with mushrooms, another crowd pleaser of the evening.

Steamed Rice with Cured Chicken Ham

(咸腊鸡老抽捞香饭)

I reckon this is the best chicken rice that I have ever had! Instead of having the traditional waxed meat rice during this festive season, Ti Chen serves up the fragrant, moist rice topped with smoked chicken ham. The ratio of lean and fatty meat hits the spot, and it complements well with the dark soy sauce.

Lychee Sago

(荔枝鲜果西米露)

Deep-fried Ninko Rolls with Bread Toast

(帝城脆多士年糕)

Putting an endnote to our luxurious imperial dinner, Ti Chen prepares the final surprise for us in the hot and cold dessert combination. The traditional glutinous rice cake is added with a nice twist as it is wrapped with crisp layer of toasted bread. Best paired with the chilled sago dessert soup.
