A veteran team of dedicated chefs wields its culinary dexterity to ensure that this gem of a Chinese restaurant at the Hotel Intercontinental Singapore continues to broaden its appeal to patrons with a taste for quality Cantonese cuisine. At many family reunions witnessed here, Man Fu Yuan’s luscious Peking duck and barbecued suckling pig laced with goose liver sauce are commonly sighted on every table.
Man Fu Yuan’s welcoming atmosphere and highly acclaimed Cantonese cuisine naturally makes the restaurant a perfect venue for a hearty family reunion feast during the Lunar New Year. Executive Chef Sunny Kong’s personal style of infusing authentic Cantonese cuisine with a unique twist has charmed diners and food critics alike. With Spring Festival just round the corner, Chef Kong brings this philosophy to the table and creates an impressive range of set menus laden with delectable and traditional dishes, and of course, the prosperity yu sheng, at
Man Fu Yuan.
“In preparing a set menu, I ensure that the dishes in one set menu give a wholesome experience to the diners, so that in the new year of the lunar calendar, everyone can end off the meal feeling satisfied. This bodes abundance and good fortune for the rest of the year,” explains
Chef Kong.
The first dish on every set menu is the must-have yu sheng of salmon, ikan parang or hamachi (yellowtail). Each of the eleven festive set menus is a well-balanced symphony of classic Lunar New Year delicacies and modern Cantonese delights – all made with superior ingredients and includes auspicious-sounding ingredients. For example, turnips (tsai tou) mean “good omen” and oysters (hao) symbolises “a prosperous
occasion or event”. “Each dish has been given an auspicious name to spread the good fortune around the table,” says Chef Kong.
The Special Treasures Pot set menu promises to be a bountiful feast ideal for an indulgent reunion dinner, thanks to the salmon yu sheng, the rich and flavourful double-boiled shark’s fin in shark’s cartilage consommé, and the deluxe treasures pot. Also available for take-away, Chef Kong’s deluxe treasures pot (poon choi) is a perennial favourite and is sold out every year. This pot holds 22 skillfully stacked premium ingredients—from abalone, shark’s fin, dried oysters, sea cucumbers, scallops and many more—which reflect good fortune and abundance. In addition, the double-boiled shark’s cartilage consommé with shark’s fin, braised superior duck with sea cucumber and fish maw, and the double-boiled Buddha jumped over the wall are some of the decadent something-to-go options for your reunion dinner at home.
Also best known for its dim sum, Man Fu Yuan will be serving an assortment of special dim sum, only available for weekend lunches during the Lunar New Year period. Starting off our new year with Chef Simon Poon’s double-boiled dumpling with shark’s fin soup and baked chicken pie with mango sounds auspicious to us already.
