Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!! - Mooncakes from Park Palace (Park Hotel Group) 2013

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone in advance!!!   Oh well, maybe today I shall wish everyone Happy Chinese Valentines' Day instead but let me show you some sweet treats (Mooncakes!!) from Park Palace from the Park Hotel Group.  It is never too early to eat these great yummilicious mooncakes right?  :P

Packaging for Park Palace's Mooncakes - Let's uncover the treasures in the gold pearlescent mooncake boxes with lovely, red peonies and butterflies.

For the baked selections, they have the classic baked mooncakes with white lotus seed paste.  If you want to indulge in a healthier option, you may want to try the White Lotus Seed Paste with Macadamia Nuts which come in reduced sugar content.  New to the selection is the Golden Jade with Duo Nuts (Vegetarian), which is a medley of lotus paste infused with pandan and mixed with melon and pine seeds.

Look at the kaleidoscope of colourful mini snowskin mooncakes!  It was simply a treat to the eyes!  I was so excited when I saw this box of mooncakes and couldn't wait to sink my teeth into them!  I posted a photo collage of the mooncakes on my instagram last night and it invited quite a bit of curiosity as well, especially the pink ones.

Black Sesame & White Lotus Paste with Mochi in Snowskin  (New)

On top of the mysterious black looking mooncakes are sprinkles of gold dust.  The fillings are white lotus paste with chewy mochi.  

Sakura Truffle with White Lotus Paste in Snowskin (New)

Lychee & Lychee in Snowskin (Signature, back by Popular Demand)

Baileys Truffles & Mint in Snowskin (Back by Popular Demand)

I had just tried the pretty pink mooncakes and I love the sweet fragrance of their premium luscious white lotus paste used.  The texture of the mooncakes were soft and the white chocolate truffle added to a slight crunch to the bite.  The sweetness of the mooncakes was just right for me.

Chinese New Year Lo Hei @ Park Palace, Grand Park City Hall

Lunar New Year is about one month away and I was happy to receive an invitation from Grand Park City Hall for a Lunar New Year Lo Hei Lunch!

Golden Shunde Yu Sheng 

Shunde is a river town in Guangdong, China and the place is well-known for its freshwater fish and fresh produce.  Fresh yellowtail is used for this Yu Sheng.

Also, you will realize that the presentation wise of this Yu Sheng is quite different from the norm, with the core filled with crispy fried vermicelli instead.  At the sides, you can find thin slices of ginger, spring onion, crunchy capsicums and finely grounded peanut.  That is not all, gold dust and gold flakes are sprinkled over to give it a nice finishing touch.  The Yu Sheng is tossed in peanut oil instead of sweet plum sauce, for more fragrance and without the sweetness overwhelming the dish.

Available for lunch and dinner at $88++ each.

Park Palace Imperial Whole Suckling Pig 樂宮乳猪皇 (1st course)

Advance order is required for the suckling pig as it needs to be air-dried for 1 day before roasting so the skin will be crispy.  

Golden Happiness Crispy Grouper

Prosperity Flambé Pen Cai  合家团圆大盆菜

In this pot of Pen Cai, you can find 18 luxuriant ingredients;

 Sliced Abalone, Sea Cucumber, Whole Conpoy (Dried Scallop), Prawn Balls, Roasted Duck, Roasted Pork Belly, Duck Web, Soya Chicken, Fatt Choy, Black Mushroom, Lotus Root, Broccoli, Radish, Beancurd Skin, Gingko Nut and Black Fungus with quality stock.

For dine-in, before the Pen Cai is being served, the chef will flambe it with cognac to enhance the taste of the seafood.

Prosperity Flambé Pen Cai (à la carte and takeaway)

21 January to 24 February:

 $268++ (for six persons)

 $428++ (for ten persons)

If you have it take-away, the pot of course will come in together with the Pen Cai but no cognac will be added.

Our Suckling Pig was back again after oven-baked it with lemon-grass.  (2nd course)

Auspicious Glutinous Rice with Foie Gras

Very nice presentation... and the foie gras melted in my mouth.

Lastly, we had steamed mini dumplings with green bean paste.  Every dumpling is hand-made by the chef himself.

I had really enjoyed this Lunar New Year Lunch and I would really like to thank Jean (Assistant Marketing Communications Manager) and Karen (Marketing Communications Manager) of Grand Park City Hall for the invitation.
