Designed to serve a familial clan of up to 20 persons, the Generation of Jubilation set menu (RM4,388++) by Atlantis Seafood Restaurant & Bar is more than a lavish banquet — it’s a celebration of legacy, family bonds and specialities that balances between tradition and indulgence.
The
opening salvo of Forever Grateful Platter featuring a quartet of starters: Deep
Fried Lychee Shrimp Balls, Salt & Pepper Abalone, Crispy Scallops with
Wasabi and Mayonnaise, and Braised Fish Roe Prosperity Bag, is richly infused
with symbolism.
Coated
in puffed rice crisps, the lychee-shaped shrimp balls deliver a satisfying
crunch with subtle sweetness, playing on contrasts of texture and flavour. Ebikko
and wasabi mayo lend the Crispy Scallop a lightly creamy touch with the fresh
punchy spiciness of wasabi.
Translucent, eggy sauce enhances the Braised Fish Roe Prosperity Bag – a beancurd skin pouch
stuffed with fish roe-accented fish paste shines the light on subtler tastes
and delicate textures. Sheathed in deep-fried batter, the Salt and Pepper
Abalone teases the tastebuds with its toothsome texture and mildly briny nuance.
A
soulful clear broth packed with meaty chicken, chicken feet, cep mushroom and the ethically controversial shark’s fin in the Double
Boiled Chicken Soup with Shark’s Fin underscores the menu’s adherence to
classic banquet fare. A dish to evoke nostalgia and the weight of old-school tradition.
Choi
poh
or preserved radish adds comfortingly earthy depth to Steamed Soon Hock with
Preserved Radish. 
Steamed to just right doneness, the dish is a masterclass in
Cantonese technique. Dried shrimp and chopped bird’s eye chillies dial up the
flavour dimension further.
Rich
and decadent, the Baked Canadian Oyster with Black Truffle and Cheese should
appeal to the young and young-at-heart.
The
Double-Delight Crispy Chicken lives up to its name with chicken prepared two
ways: deep-fried bite-size chicken coated with mayo, and well-rendered chicken
skin stuffed with prawn-fish paste and almond flakes.
Whilst
the former is underwhelming for me, the latter – a mainstay from yesteryear
banquet – wins the day. Special mention must be made of the accompanying pickled
cherry; the tangy-salty-sweetness is marvellous for alleviating any cloying
richness.
More
Cantonese influences appear in the Stir-Fried Australian Scallops with Truffle
and Mixed Vegetables, highlighting a refreshing balance of clear, distinct
accents to the overall meal.
For
a hearty finale, the Longevity Egg Noodles with Three Shredded Meats offer is a
perennial trans-generational favourite. Loaded with beansprouts, shredded
chicken and mushroom, the saucy noodles will leave everyone replete.
Dessert
to sweeten the occasion consists of cool, gelatinous, and subtly sweet Double-Boiled
Hasma with Peach Gum and Red Dates, paired with fluffy soft Longevity Peach
Buns—a nod to good health and long life. Perfect for rounding off the meal with
such splendid treats.
Overall,
the Generation of Jubilation is a well-crafted menu that is cohesive and
celebratory—perfect for marking milestones with loved ones.
