As we celebrate this auspicious occasion, Yu Sheng remains a quintessential highlight of the season. The Prosperity Fruity Yu Sheng is a vibrant and auspicious creation, showcasing crisp vegetables and multi-coloured fruits thoughtfully arranged to form layers of texture. Beyond its visual appeal, the dish carries a natural fragrance that elevates the overall experience. Aromatic ginger flower and lemongrass lift the flavours beautifully, symbolising prosperity, harmony, good health, and new beginnings for the Year of the Horse.

Here’s the classic Babi Pongteh, featuring generous chunks of pork belly slowly cooked until beautifully tender and richly flavoured. The savoury gravy is deeply infused with fermented soybean paste, gula melaka, onions, and aromatic spices, creating a well-rounded balance of sweetness and umami.

What we especially loved was the addition of creamy yam, which brought a soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture that complemented the richness of the pork perfectly. Every spoonful felt comforting and luxurious, a true indulgence and a timeless Peranakan favourite.

Taking centre stage on the festive table is the collaborative signature London Duck, jointly presented by London Fat Duck and PasirPanjangBoys. This standout dish marries London Fat Duck’s signature richness with the deep, aromatic character of the traditional Peranakan Itek Sio, creating a harmonious balance of flavour and heritage.

Prepared using premium Irish duck, the texture stood out immediately, noticeably more tender and succulent compared to the usual duck varieties. The duck is patiently braised, allowing the essence of the spices, fermented elements, and aromatics to fully permeate the meat. Each bite carries layers of savoury depth, gently spiced yet comforting, with flavours that linger pleasantly on the palate.

The rich braising sauce ties everything together, making it an undeniably satisfying and homely dish. As a festive centrepiece, the London Duck not only embodies indulgence but also reflects the spirit of reunion and abundance, perfect for sharing during the Chinese New Year celebrations.

Featuring the handmade Ngoh Hiang, each roll is thoughtfully prepared with fresh pork and generous chunks of scallop meat, complemented by chestnut that adds a delightful crisp crunch. Every piece is beautifully cooked to a golden-brown finish, releasing an inviting aroma upon serving.

The fillings are fragrant, plump, and well-balanced, with the scallop meat standing out for its natural sweetness and succulent bite, a truly laudable touch. Dipping it into the accompanying sweet sauce further elevates the flavours, adding a gentle contrast that rounds off each mouthful perfectly.
