From 010110 itself, I knew this is going to be a great tiger year already…you know why?

Thanks to Big Boys Oven and photography crew, we had the chance to lou sang in style in House of Tang

We foodies wish everyone a blasting Tiger year!

Specially prepared for us – prawn.

There will be recipes at end of this post. Whip out the dish for your family!

It’s been a while since I last went to Mei Chi Xuan for the crabs. I miss crabs badly but I am watching my cholesterol. Just in case. I do not like a clogged artery anytime soon.

Crabs aside. They have launched some special dishes for Chinese New Year!

Hello CNY dishes!

Sea cucmber and seafood on a boat of dragon – RM150 onwards

See the beautiful carrot sculpture? It is amazing that how the chef could sculpt the dragon on a carrot! I usually struggle to even cut carrot into slices. If you have elderly in the family, I am sure they will love this!

Sea-cucumber contains zero cholesterol, even though it tastes like fatty pork.

Braised pork trotter with vegetables and lotus roots – RM28 onwards

Pork is not bad all the time, look at the companion of vegetables and lotus roots, it’s a healthy dish! I love lotus roots

Every chinese new year, I will help my parents to pack $$ into red packets. And I will also collect all the red packets I get from the banks, restaurants for them.

Sometimes the designs are really cute!

But I wonder why the red packets this year are all in the pink shades?

Red is an outdated color already?

Can you identify any merchants of the red packets ?

Chinese New Year is coming really soon, and I am so so looking forward to having my mom’s specialty – braised duckie again! But with all the hassles of preparing, my family actually sort of decided that for the next CNY, we will just eat out! (Save me from being scolded by my mom because I am very clumsy in kitchen).

If you are also looking for a place to eat out, you might want to consider this House of Tang in Bangsar, the Chinese New Year Prosperity Set Menu starts from RM488+, RM688+, to RM888+ for 10 pax.

All collages are clickable for huge views.

行運齊撈生

Salmon Yee Sang with Crispy Shredded Treasures in Plum Dressing

For a start, of course we need to lou sang to kick off the CNY mood! I love the colorful dish, although it practically tastes similar everywhere, the trick is to have sufficient plum sauce the jazz up the dish!

福星添高照 干貝蚧肉冬瓜盅

Shark’s Fin Soup with Crab Meat and Dried Scallop in Winter Melon

The winter melon was one of the highlights as it looks REALLY cute! And the soup is so sweet.

榮華又富貴 紅燒元蹄

House of Tang Braised Pork Trotter

Everyone’s favorite of the night has to be this pork trotter. The meat was so tenderly soft, and with the gravy,the combination was perfect!

日式椒鹽明蝦 Japanese styles fleshy prawns (ming ha) and 亞參冬炎石斑魚 Assam ‘Tom Yam’ Garoupa Fish

When we were presented with the prawns, all of us admired the presentation. Don’t you just have to love the carrot-crafted pagoda?

The assam fish was done just right, not too sour nor spicy. We polished the plate with white rice.
