REFINED REUNION FEASTS AT WAN CHUN TING

‘Horse-perity’ specialities such as Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab Yee Sang, Stir-Fried Prawns with Egg White and Black Truffle, and Golden Fried Chicken with Mango Glaze are some of the festive creations by Sofitel Kuala Lumpur Damansara’s Executive Chinese Chef Leong Weng Heng at Wan Chun Ting restaurant, to herald the arrival of the Horse Year.

 
Available from 7 January to 3 March, Wan Chun Ting guests may choose from three curated Chinese New Year Set Menus (minimum four persons per table): Prosperity Menu (RM288+ per person), Fortune Menu (RM338+ per person), and Wealth Menu (RM398+ per person).
 
Stir and toss your way to fortune and good luck with the restaurant’s Signature Prosperity Yee Sang (from RM98+ to RM398+ in half and whole portions). Select from Pearl Abalone and Norwegian Salmon Yee Sang, Crispy Soft-Shell Crab Yee Sang, Hokkaido Scallops with Snow Pear Yee Sang or 10-head Abalone Yee Sang for the rousing celebratory ritual.
 
The Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab Yee Sang proved on-point with an ubiquitous assortment of crisps, pickles and shredded veggies. The sauce wasn’t cloyingly sweet with chunks of deep-fried soft shell crabs adding discernible texture to the tableaux.
 
We got an overview of Chef Leong’s curated menus prepared with premium ingredients evoking auspicious symbolisms whilst exuding vibrant flavours; an artful mix of cherished traditions with contemporary touches.
 
His Double-Boiled Chicken Soup with Cordyceps Flower, Tian Zhi Orchid & Sun-Dried Scallop exemplified that approach. Every drop of the clear, sweet broth was clear proof of Chef Leong’s dab hand at Cantonese cooking.
 
Freshness and precise timing ensured the Hong Kong Style Steamed California Bass garnered effusive praises. Nobody could fault the delicious fish, accompanied by house-made soya sauce dressing.
 
Fortune favours the bold as the saying goes and the Golden Fried Chicken with Mango Glaze is worth crowing about. Similar to nuggets of gold, the crisp fried chicken doused with tangy-sweet mango sauce were simply irresistible.
 
Even more sublime was the show-stopping Stir-Fried Prawns with Egg White and Black Truffle. We went ga-ga over the delicate, cloud-like clumps of egg white scented with black truffle and tender, springy prawns.
 
Let abundant good things gallop in when you partake the classic serving of Braised Sun Dried Oyster, Beancurd and Broccoli. Those huge, mildly smoky mollusks paired well with soft beancurd and tender broccoli florets.

A burst of invigorating chilli hotness from the chef’s house made XO sauce levelled up the Stir Fried Crunchy Vegetables, Celtuce and Macadamia Nuts. It’s a nice, superbly addictive change from the slew of protein-centric dishes.

Carb lovers should find Fragrant Fried Rice with Waxed Meat Wrapped in Lotus Leaf a natural shoo-in. Packed with big, hearty flavours, the only complaint would be finding restraint to stop at just one bowl.
 
As tradition demands it, every celebratory meal must conclude sweetly. Notable options of Steamed Chinese New Year Cake Coated with Grated Coconut and bowls of Chilled Peach Resin with Osmanthus, Snow Pear, Longan and Red Dates fit the bill.

Wan Chun Ting also serves extensive à la carte and dim sum selections.
