Prosperity Shun De Yu Sheng @ Famous Treasure |
Usher
in the year for the Golden Rat with Authentic Nanyang cuisine at Famous
Treasure. The year of the Rat symbolises wealth and surplus and bountiful
opportunities. The culinary team at Famous Treasure has crafted celebratory set
menus showcasing nostalgic dishes of Teochew, Hokkien, Cantonese and Hainanese
with influences from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.
This
Chinese New Year, Famous Treasure brings back the traditional flavour of Yu
Sheng with “Prosperity Shun De Yu Sheng (顺德鱼生 - Available for à la carte and takeaway order during
CNY period and normal days, 3 days advance notice is required. ($118++ for
Small, 6 diners & $180++ for Large, 10 diners)). Ingredients for this Yu Sheng are
Hamachi, ginger, garlic, shallots, spring onion, fried yam, roasted sesame, soy
sauce, sea salt, lemongrass and chilli.

We have gotten used to tossing the Yu Sheng together at the centre of the table. The Prosperity Shun De Yu Sheng is treated differently. Diners will build your own Yu Sheng base on the ingredients of your liking. I did two versions, the first one I added soy sauce to taste. It has a taste profile of Cantonese steam fish and the oil and soy sauce bind fish, ginger and spring onion together.
My Yu Sheng with Soy Sauce |
The second version I use salt instead of
soy sauce, while the rest of the ingredients remain the same. It tasted fresh
and clean, like the fresh taste of the ocean. This brought back memories of the
extinct Yu Sheng flavour that you previously get with you order your porridge
in Maxwell market.

Roasted Silver Hill Irish Duck (爱尔兰烧鸭 - $58 for half and
$138 for whole for CNY à la carte Menu. Also available in CNY set menu Success, Happiness, & Fortune).
The Roasted Silver Hill Irish
Duck at Famous Treasure is one of
the best in the market and it is a signature dish here as well. It is roasted
to perfection, resulting in crispy skin, followed with juicy succulent meat as
the rendered fats melt into it. Although it is served with plum sauce on the
side, I normally eat it without the sauce as the taste its awesome on its own.

Chicken Soup with Morel Mushroom and Peach Gum (羊肚菌鸡汤 – new dish. $68 for medium and $138 for large, available in for CNY à la
carte menu). The chicken soup is
robust yet tasted clean at the same time. The delicate essence of the chicken
is infused into the soup, while the morsel mushrooms added a unique woody
flavour into the soup while the “vegetarian collagen” gave it an air of
exquisiteness. Yum Yum.

Wok-fried Prawn Ball with Traditional "Nanyang"
Style (南洋风味虾球 – new dish. $36 for small, $54 for
medium and $72 for large, available in for CNY à la carte menu). I would call this prawn rendang.
The prawns are deep-fried first to create a crispy texture and also retain the
juiciness and bouncy texture of the prawns. The “rendang” gravy is aromatic,
fragrant and packs a good kick of spiciness. The signature lemongrass flavour
really shines here. Love this dish and I even ask for white rice to savour the
rendang sauce further.

Steamed Marble Goby "Fisherman Style" (渔夫蒸笋壳 , available in CNY Set Menu
Wealth and Fortune). The Soon Hock is steam with simple salt marinate. The
final toppings of ginger, spring onion and chilli are added at the end. This
style showcases the freshness of the fish and allowing the natural sweetness of
the soon hock to shines.

Signature Famous Treasure "Pen Cai" (盆菜,
Pre-Order. Available in à la carte menu and take away menu. $388 for small, $588 for large). Ingredients
include abalones, prawns, sea cucumbers, dried oysters, scallops, black moss,
vegetables and solid stock gravy. The gravy is rich, robust and well infused
with the luxurious ingredients especially the abalone, sea cucumber and dried
oysters. It is best to all Pen Cai to cook longer and put in scallops and
prawns last so it does not become overcooked.
