| Joyden Concepts Festive Yu Sheng Platter with Abalone & Salmon Sashimi |
For
Chinese New Year 2017, Joyden Concepts presents to you its
'Prosperity Pomelo Feast'. One of the most sought after fruit during
the Chinese New Year as it symbolise abundance and good fortune, and
they will be presented in different ways.
During
Chinese New Year, Pomelo flesh is most commonly used for Yu Sheng and
desserts. This year Joyden Concepts took the extra step to use the
Pomelo Pith as well. Pomelo Pith is the white colour cushion, between
the skin and the meat of pomelo. To remove its bitterness and
tartness, the pith must be soaked and washed over a few days
repetitively. The result is a refreshing, tender and full-bodied that
perfectly compliment any dish.

Lobster
and Fish Maw with Pomelo Pith in Premium XO Sauce (柚子皮XO
龙虾鱼鳔).
The lobster is fresh and crunchy, nicely coated with the delicious XO
Sauce. In this dish, the Pomelo Pith and Fish Maw soaks up the
beautiful gravy from the lobster and the XO sauce like a sponge. The
celery and carrots are there to add crunchiness to the dish. We
personally feel that the pith absorbs the essence of this dish better
compare to the fish maw and deliver that burst of flavours when you
bit into it. Yum Yum, you might want to order a white rice to go with
this.

Braised
Sea Cucumber with Pomelo Pith and Broccoli (海参柚子皮扒西兰花).
A well braised smooth and crunchy sea cucumber paired with shiitake
mushrooms. The gravy is robust, slightly gelatinous with good umami
flavour. As the gravy is not overly heavy, you can actually taste a
touch of bitterness in the Pomelo Pith, which is good to balance this
rich dish. Usually bamboo pith is used for this dish, but I think
Pomelo Pith made a perfect substitute.

While the
main focus has been Pomelo Pith, the normal use of the Pomelo flesh
still remains. Festive Yu Sheng Platter with Abalone & Salmon
Sashimi (发财鲍鱼鲑鱼捞生)
- $78 for regular 5-6 pax, $148 for large 8- 10 pax). A refreshing
and well balance combination that will definitely entice your
appetite at the start of the meal.

Steamed
Soon Hock in Superior Sauce with Ginger and Mandarin Peel (陈皮丝蒸顺福鱼).
One of our favourite fish. Nicely steamed and the flesh of the fish
is just soft and moist. The superior soya sauce infused with mandarin
peel accentuate the taste of the fish and appetising as well.

Crispy
Roast Duck with Traditional Hakka Red Wine Sauce (红糟客家脆皮鸭
). A unique creation by the team at Joyden
Concepts. The Hakka Red Wine Sauce has a sweet-savory taste and
aromatic, while the red colour sauce create a attractive glaze on the
skin of the duck. The marination manage to penetrate to the meat
where you can taste the red wine sauce in the succulent meat. A good
variation from the normal version of roast duck.

Crab Meat
Longevity Noodles (蟹肉伴面线
). There are three steps to eat this
noodle. First eat it without any sauce, where you can feel the robust
broth absorbs into the noodle. 2nd step, add vinegar as
the tangy flavour create a unique sweetness to the dish. 3rd
step, add the “POWER” sambal here. This will give you a kick to
end the meal.

Joyden
Traditional Homemade 'Nian Gao' (福寿康宁
年糕). Sandwiched between yam and sweet potato it
provided a good balance for the Homemade Nian Gao. The batter is a
bit thick for my liking, but it did the job to seal the moistness of
the Nian Gao.

Overall,
it was an interesting and sumptuous Chinese New Year meal. We are
glad that Pomelo Pith take centre stage in this year celebration in
Joyden Concepts. Kudos to the team at Joyden Concepts to keep
inventing these delicious dishes.
