Once a year, the Oriental Group of Restaurants come up with a special chef’s menu, and this year is extra special as it is their 25th anniversary. Curated by their Master Chefs team, the unique dishes require special ingredients, arduous preparations and delicate skill.

The media had a sneak preview: 

*Soft shell crab and crispy enoki mushroom fruit and veggies salad.

*Double-boiled superior birds nest stuffed in chicken

*Deluxe roast suckling pig platter

*Braised whole 5-head abalone with dried seafood in whole lotus root

*Braised ramen with king prawn

*almond cream with egg white

*Jade corn desert and green tea mochi

Every dish was pure delight, executed with finesse. I enjoyed every single one of them but if I had to choose I would say the suckling pig was in a class of its own, and the soup quite unusual, generously stuffed with birds nest. So rich and full of umami, the soothing soup was nutritious and indulgent.

The starter salad had elements of CNY with a prosperity toss of sorts while the seafood lotus ‘boat’ contained ingredients that had been braised for hours. Even the ramen was quite special, with the gravy rich with the sweetness of the prawn coating the noodles. 

Available from Aug 8 till 29, the dishes can still be ordered after this period thru special request.
