Beng Thin Hoon Kee

For Chinese New Year this year, the company I work at decided to have its celebratory lunch at Beng Thin Hoon Kee. Our bosses chose a set menu beforehand, so I do not know the names of the dishes that we had, but can only describe them.

Ban Heng @ Orchard RELC International Hotel

This Chinese New Year, Ban Heng @ Orchard RELC International Hotel was where I had my first yu sheng. The RELC is not usually a place people would think that has an acceptable Chinese restaurant, as it is overshadowed by its more renowned neighbour, the Shangri-La Hotel. In fact my aunt (who was inviting) told us she had never tried this restaurant before, but that her friend had recommended it. As no one in my family had tried Ban Heng at this particular location, we were curious how the meal would turn out.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Hope everyone is having a good Chinese New Year so far. I had my first Yu Sheng yesterday and it was good!

Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner

A prosperous Chinese New Year to everyone!

This is a plate of some yu sheng from reunion dinner, consisting julienned shreds of carrot, cucumber and daikon, thin slices of salmon sashimi, bulbs of pomelo, a slice of caramelised orange peel, and crushed peanuts.
