SWISS Garden Hotel’s head chef Wong Yean Loong is planning to stick to popular Chinese New Year dishes for the hotel’s dinner buffet spread this festive season.
“There is nothing too fancy that will confuse our guests. We want them to try what the Chinese usually look out for when celebrating the New Year,
“There are certain dishes, including seafood, that have to be served like fatt choy, sea cucumber, black oyster, abalone, prawn and fish as they all signify different meaning to the New Year such as prosperity and good luck,” he said.
The 37-year-old chef added that the Chinese believed that by consuming any of the prosperity dishes, one would have a good start to the New Year.
Wong together with his team have come up with dishes like Garlic Chili Prawn, Fried Rice with Abalone sauce, Steam Fish with Black Fungus, Braised Seafood with Oyster, Mixed Seafood on Ice, Fried Flower Crab with Crispy Chili and Baked Sliced Lobster with Garlic which will be served to patrons this Chinese New Year.
