Min Jiang At One North Lunar New Year Luncheon - Prosperity Salmon Yu Sheng

Min Jiang At One North Lunar New Year Luncheon – Rochester Park, Singapore

Min Jiang At One North was a company luncheon to celebrate the Chinese New Year. I love this period as I love Lo Hei. Blessed to have a number of delicious feast such as at Park Hotel Clarke Quay, Amara Hotel and Mellben Signature.

Scallops enjoyed in 2-way, Stir Fried Scallops with vegetables and Pan fried Scallops filled with Shrimp Mousse. We love those surrounded the basket which was the latter. These are tastier. Those fried with vegetables were bland.

 

Min Jiang At One North Lunar New Year Luncheon - Deep fried Sea Perch with Fresh Mango and Plum Sauce

 

Deep fried Sea Perch with Fresh Mango and Plum Sauce has the most mixed review. A portion of the diners found the fish dry, a percentage felt the fish not fresh, next group found it tasteless while the remaining love it. The key to appreciate this dish is to ensure that the fillet is coated with plum sauce and a slice of honey sweet mango augment the flavour. The fishy flavour came from the skin. Be sure to remove it for best experience.

Min Jiang At One North Lunar New Year Luncheon - Sweet Dumplings with Lotus Seeds and Red Dates in Clear Broth

 

Overly saccharine Sweet Dumplings with Lotus Seeds and Red Dates in Clear Broth. Sesame paste filled Glutinous Rice Ball itself was sweet so was the clear broth as a result there isn’t much characteristics to the dessert.
