Chinese New Year @ Tai Thong Group Malaysia

Rushing against time to complete all my CNY reviews this year, here's some delectable offerings from Tai Thong Group Malaysia. This year, Tai Thong  introduced their series of delectable dishes which inspired by the Monkey King, the main character in the classic Chinese novel – Journey to the West. Check out what we sampled the other day, complete with an appearance from the Monkey God and God of Prosperity.

Tai Thong Group Executive Chef Lee Wee Hong plays around with superior ingredients and special recipes to ensure that these new dishes embody the unique characteristics of Monkey King and customers are promised a journey of great taste and divine flavours.

Priced at RM68.80++ for half portion and RM108.80++ for full portion, Tai Thong introduced their 2016 version of this healthy and nutritious Golden Fortune Yee Sang that features juicy peach to symbolize the auspicious fruit of Monkey King. New ingredients such as Pistachios, Almonds, Dried Blueberries and Dried Cranberries are also added to give the dish a more distinct flavor and texture.

We had the Dried Premium Seafood Soup next. Served in coconut with assorted premium seafood which includes fish maw, abalone and dried scallops, this absolutely nourishing Dried Premium Seafood Soup (RM48.80++) is double-boiled till perfection to release a refreshing aromatic taste and fragrant.

Something unique and different from the rest of the 'poon choys' I've tasted this year, Tai Thong brought out their Fortune Seafood Treasure Pot. An assortment of seafood such as deep-fried Tiger Prawn, deep-fried Jade Perch and Cheese Baked Mussel cooked in a pot of rich broth with chef’s signature sauce, it is indeed a luxurious dish.

Instead of cooking all the ingredients together, chef broke tradition this year by having the ingredients cooked separately before mixing into the pot. Each ingredient in the pot is specially selected to blend well together, making every bite a delightful one. Personally, things got a tad too mushy at the end. 

Fortune Seafood Treasure Pot is priced at RM298.80++ for 5 pax and RM498.80++ for 10 pax. Advance orders are advisable and takeaway is also available.


Ever heard of chilled Nian Gao? Well here it is!

I was amazed by the creativity demonstrated by Tai Thong's chef, when they served this unique twist on the classic ‘Nian Gao’. Normally it's served warm, but this Chilled Nian Gao (RM11.80++ per 6 pcs) was wrapped in a layer of fragrant osmanthus jelly topped with beautiful sakura. It has a chewy texture complemented perfectly by a lightly sweet flavour, definitely one-of-a-kind dessert for your auspicious Chinese New Year meal.

Tai Thong’s Chinese New Year Set Menus are priced between RM538++ to RM1188++ for 6 pax and RM828++ to RM1928++ for 10 pax. For 10 pax set menus, Tai Thong is also giving out complimentary Premium Gift Set (containing Dried Moss, Dried Oyster, Duck Waxed Drumstick, Dried Mushrooms) or wine sets. All Tai Thong Chinese New Year promotions end 29th Feb 2016. Make your bookings today!

  1. Dragon fruit for yee sang...and that looks like mango. That's a great idea, using fresh fruits instead of those pickled stuff. Same thing, toss the fruit salad together.
