– Tasting Invite –
Helmed by the talented Master Chef Leong Chee Yeng, Jade Restaurant at The Fullerton Hotel will be presenting a luxurious 6-course Mid-Autumn Reunion Dinner Feast, available at S$88++ per person from 25 August to 8 September 2014. We were in for a visual treat as well when the Trio of Mid Autumn Combination was served. Can you tell that it actually represents Chang E flying to the moon? 😉
I was extremely pleased with the Boiled Sea Grouper Soup with Black Fungus and Chinese Wine served with Steamed Quail Egg as the broth was milky and full-bodied while the thick chunk of grouper was firm and flaky. Interestingly, the quail egg represents the moon!
To be honest, I wasn’t too thrilled about the Fragrant Crispy Duck stuffed with Yam Paste because I’m not a fan of the traditional yam basket but this was fantastic. The crispy duck and yam paste went very well together.
The Stewed Whole Abalone with Dried Scallop and Homemade Edamame Bean Curd totally stole the show. No, it was not the abalone but the edamame bean curd which won our praises because it had a silky smooth texture and soft consistency.
The Fragrant Wok-fried Five Grain Rice with Crab Meat was simply comforting. Loved that every bite was full of flavor.
We had the Classic Trio Desserts made up of shaved almond ice with osmanthus jelly, chilled rabbit-shaped egg white cake, and petit traditional oven-baked and snowskin mooncakes to end the meal. The presentation was very adorable! The almond ice with osmanthus jelly was my favorite of the three because it was very refreshing. The White Lotus Seed Paste with Single Yolk Snow Skin Mooncake features a smooth and delightfully sweet white lotus seed paste. The Pandan with Gula Melaka Snow Skin Mooncake is a nostalgic blend of familiar local flavours where the aroma of the pandan complements the deep caramel flavour of the palm sugar.
