This year, restaurants and stores at Millenia Walk are providing a special experience for everyone to celebrate the Year of the Pig. For those who are looking for a festive reunion meal, Millenia Walk is the perfect place to go to. From unique meat dishes to satisfy your carnivorous cravings to delicious vegetarian options. Not to mention all the various sweet desserts for there sweet tooths, there is definitely something amazing for everyone.
I was invited to a private and exclusive Chinese New Year luncheon and I was overjoyed to know that I am allowed to bring my hubby and Rena along with me. I definitely appreciate the effort they took to make this special arrangement especially for Rena. We got to enjoy the special highlights of restaurants, eateries and even cafes in Millenia Walk with a 9-course feast.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CHINESE NEW YEAR MENU FROM THE DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS
The event started with a keg breaking session for a free flow of Premium Lager by PaulanerBrauhaus. We never got to try the beer as Rena was around.
Next we gathered around the 3 tables for a mass Lo Hei. Chinese New Year is never short of Lo Hei. Lo Hei is a cantonese word which individually meant tossing and up, it signifies tossing up a good fortune for the new year. However, after various transformation throughout the history, the Chinese in different parts of the world does Lo Hei differently.
In Singapore, we believed tossing higher gives us more luck! Everyone with their friends and family will partake in the tossing of the yusheng, the main of the ingredient in Lo Hei, to usher in good health and wealth for the Chinese Lunar New Year. We had the Original Yusheng, which is halal-certified, from Poke Doke is is full of fresh sashimi and raw vegetables. A total of 19 ingredients were used in this Yusheng. After the session we went back to our seats and the different dishes were served to us.
For vegetarians, there is the option to go meat-free at Elemen that offers a wholesome and eco-responsible meat-free dining experience that doesn't compromised the taste. They used the purest and freshest ingredients to ensure that diners get the very best in every bite . This Double-Boiled Truffle Soup by Elemen, had rich fragrance of truffle shavings and truffle oil, was slow-cooked for over 6-hours with goji berries, monkey head mushrooms and an assortment of Chinese herbs. The truffle taste was not too strong due to the chinese herbs. I was preparing to receive a conflicting taste. However, mix of chinese and western ingredient actually complimented each other. Not only was it nutritional, it also helped to reduce high blood pressure and promote blood circulation.
We came to the meat dish where meat lovers like my husband could rejoice. We were served the Crispy Pork Belly on Potato Cucumber Salad with Parsley Mousse and Paulaner Dark Beer Sauce by PaulanerBrauhaus. This was my husband's favourite dish of all as the pork belly meat was really juicy and soft. However, I found the skin a little too hard.
Next up was another vegetarian dish, the Yam Ring with Assorted Vegetables from elemen. It had a wide variety of vegetables and the yam ring almost melted immediately as I put it in my mouth. The yam ring was in black colour which is very special.
Another seasonal delicacy came next was the Whole Fortune Smoked Corn-Fed Chicken with House-Pickles by Plentyfull. The dish was marinated with 5 spices, smoked over apple wood chips and served with house pickled daikon, carrot and cucumber. The meat was well marinated with the concocted spices. I recommend trying this as it is only available from 14th January to 19th February.
We also got to satisfy our Japanese food cravings when the Tengawa Signature Truffle Oil Chawanmushi by Tengawa Hokkaido White Curry was served. This was a first of its kind in Singapore from Tengawa and was definitely a must-try for truffle lovers. The aroma of the truffle oil filled the event venue when it was served. The normal taste of chawanmushi came first then before the truffle taste. Again, another fantastic fusion dish.
Borrowdale Award Winning Free Range Pork Loin Katsu Gozen by Saboten was made from free-range pigs. The pork is sourced from an RSPCA approved farm and had no added hormones. This ensured diners that what they ate was safe and free from harm. The meat is a bit tough because there was no moisture infused.
For staples, we had the Torimon Ramen by Uma Uma. This is their famous raman which was both a comforting and traditional match of tori (chicken) and lemon. Thin Hakata noodles, chicken thigh and egg were served in a rich chicken broth that was well-balanced with a hint of citrus. The unique thing about this ramen was that it was boiled for 7-hours with chicken bones instead of their signature pork bones. The lemon added a zest of flavours to the already rich and thick broth.
Any meal had to be completed with desserts. We had the Frozen Smores by The Dark Gallery. This delicious sweet treat was made of a Graham Tart Shell with their Signature 80% Dark Chocolate Ice Cream, Dark Chocolate Ganache, and Torched Marshmallow. Though dark chocolate was used, it did not taste as bitter as I imagined them to be. Do visit them as they also offered a variety of other choices.
Feeling thirsty while shopping? Just drop by Super Tea to enjoy a cup of refreshing 凤梨不知春 or Blossom Pineapple, which was a unique blend of pineapple, passion fruit and peach Oolong that truly reflects the essence of modern tea. I was quite surprised that this drink appealed to me as I was not a pineapple lover.
Overall, we had a very enjoyable time, where flavours, from the style of cuisine, from East to West, spreaded all over our taste buds. Indeed A Reunion To Remember!
We also got to bag home some vouchers and a beautiful card holder from ANASTASIA BY RAINE that is made from vegan microfiber leather.
