– Tasting Invite –

Planning to go for a buffet during the Chinese New Year festive period? Plaza Brasserie @ PARKROYAL on Beach Road’s Prosperity Buffet Feast is available from now till 24 February 2013. On CNY Eve (9 Feb), the Prosperity Buffet Feast Reunion Dinner is not to be missed. Guests can look forward to the Mini Pen Cai at the live station as it features special ingredients such as fish maw, prawns, sea cucumber, sliced abalone, roast duck, chicken, pork and black moss. The best part? You can go for as many helpings as you like!

Specially created by Chef Jackson to usher in the Year of the Snake, the Fruity Yu Sheng consists of fresh tropical fruits like mandarin oranges, peaches, rose apples, rock melon, dried persimmons, green mango and papaya. This is certainly one healthy yu sheng!

Not only does this yu sheng contain plenty of vitamins and fibre, it symbolises an abundance of wealth and a well-rounded life enhanced with Chef’s special fruit flavored sauce. Traditional Yu Sheng will also be available.

Also available at the buffet are the Eight Treasure Sticky Rice, Oatmeal Prawns, Roast Duck and Soy Chicken, Braised Pork Knuckle with Dried Oyster and Black Moss, Braised Sea Cucumber with Roasted Pork and many more.

I love the Pork Belly on Steamed Bun! Too bad I only had room for one!

One of the must-try Chinese New Year goodies is the Pumpkin Mousse Cake.

If you like durian, nian gao and bak kwa then I urge you to try this winning combination of Durian Nian Gao with Bak Kwa. Eat it and let me know what you think! 😉
Thank you Karen for the invite!

The Chewys would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone Happy Chinese New Year and gong xi fa cai!

Christmas Festive Treats at Plaza Brasserie @ PARKROYAL

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas chewy chewy friends! What are your plans this Christmas? Celebrate the festive occasion in style with PARKROYAL’s Classical Christmas and New Year’s theme in Blue, White and Silver!

Just on Monday night, misterchewy and I were at Plaza Brasserie with the other bloggers! Here’s our OOTD which was also suitable for work. Hehe. 🙂

We always start off our buffet meal with some Japanese food. The sashimi and sushi section always look so enticing!

Really fresh, big, fat and juicy oysters. I had about five that night!

The Roast Meats station was pretty remarkable too. The white chicken rice was simply heavenly and I had no qualms just eating the rice on its own.

Equally satisfying was the prata with curry chicken which was spicy enough to tingle the taste buds.

This year, the hotel will be introducing Pork Knuckles served in Asian inspired Spicy Sauce and Red Wine Sauce together with the traditional Roasted Turkey, Honey Baked Ham and Meat Loaf that will also be served as part of the festive treats.

Who says that you can only have pork knuckle during Oktoberfest? Eating pork knuckle during Christmas is brilliant too! Its crispy skin and bouncy, flavorful meat is best enjoyed with a glass of red wine!

In addition, other delights such as Christmas Fruit Cake, Christmas Stollen, Bread and Butter Pudding, Classic Chocoloate Mousse, Christmas Pudding with Brandy Sauce, Assorted Christmas Cookies, Espresso Brownies, Pecan Pies, Mince Pies, Ginger Bread as well as the Assorted Log Cakes and Raspberry and Vanilla Cheese Cake will make this Christmas a heart-warming one to remember!

A photo of me, Karen and Maureen! Aren’t we three very happy looking girls? 😛

Receiving my Christmas present from Derrick! How nice of him!

Candid shot of Derrick, Charles and Kai. Hahaha.

Thank you Karen for the invitation and for hosting us!

The Crab Fiesta @ Park Royal on Beach Road till 31 August 2012

Posted on July 14, 2012 by missuschewy

You might or might not have already heard of this but I’m going to say it again. In April this year, I underwent surgery and had to stay away from seafood for at least a month! This is absolutely devastating news for a hardcore crab lover like me. Since young, I have always favored black or white pepper crabs over chilli ones, and recently have fallen in love with salted egg yolk crabs. When I was invited to try Chef Jackson’s new crab recipes at Park Royal on Beach Road, I totally jumped at the chance! From now till 31 August, Plaza Brasserie will be offering their Sumptuous Crab Feast from Mondays to Sundays. They have a wide range of appetizers for crab lovers to get started and some of the items include Dijon Crab Cakes with Coriander Paste, Chilli Crab Roll with Vegetables, Crab Meat Gyoza with Dip Sauce, Bread Crab Claw, Mini Crab Meat Samosas and Olive & Potato Crabmeat Balls with Pesto.

Since the tasting was held on a Friday, we were in a TGIF mood and I decided that we should wear (kinda) matching color blocking outfits 😛

Among some of the other bloggers, we met Lobster and Jacob again. It’s always good to see them!

We sampled crabs prepared in six different ways. The first, which also happened to be one of my favorite, was the Butter Crab. There wasn’t much gravy to begin with but it was very creamy and finger lickin’ good! The butter crab was all too yummy and addictive. Later on, I found myself wanting to have more helpings of the butter crab even as I was savouring the other crabs!

As evident in the above photo, the Stir Fried Sri Lanka Crab with XO Sauce had been nicely cracked and it did save us quite a fair bit of trouble without having to resort to using the crab cracker. The sweet, delicate flavor of the crab was further enhanced by a touch of XO seasoning.

Flower crabs are supposedly sweeter but it wasn’t really the case for the Stir Fried Flower Crabs with Spring Onions. In fact, it tasted mildly bitter, probably from being left to cool for too long.

I urge everyone to try the Nonya Curry Crab, which I reckon is totally out of this world. The intense gravy tasted more like an Indian curry dish, which I personally found pretty exceptional.

I didn’t take a fancy to the Chilli Crab because the gravy was kinda sweet.

Not surprisingly, I could not decide whether I preferred the butter crab or Stir Fried Crab with Egg Yolk because both tasted highly similar. The stark difference was that the latter was undeniably sweeter and richer in taste. The curry leaves complemented the richness of the salted egg yolk, while the thinly chopped up chilli lent a slightly fiery kick.
