Chinese New Year Set Menu With A Thai Twist @Rama V Jalan U Thant  Kuala Lumpur

Unlike many restaurants that serve Yee Sang with a plum-based sauce, here at Rama V Jalan U Thant, you will be served with a Mieng Kam sauce and is combined with sesame and plum sauce which makes the Yee Sang a slightly spicy and sourish affair. 

Some of the ingredients that are put together into this special Yee Sang is the Pineapple, Mango, Reb Rubies, Fish Cakes, Smoked Duck and Scallop. The Yee Sang is priced at RM128 (ala-carte) while it is priced at only RM88.00 if you ordered any set menu.

There is 2 Chinese New Year 2019 festive menu available from Rama V for you to choose from which is Fortune Set (RM468 for 5-6 pax) and Prosperity Set (RM988.00 for 8 to 10pax). Both sets are available from now till 20th Feb 2019.

Starting the Prosperity set is the Golden Shrimp Tom Kha - a white Tom Yum Kung which is served with coconut milk, oyster mushroom, shrimp and a stuffed prawn paste. Served hot and perfect with a bowl of white rice.

For the main course, the set comes with a Steamed Seabass With Tom Khong Sauce. For those familiar with the Thai Steamed, this dish spring no surprise to its taste. The broth is also well paired to the white rice too.

Our next main course is the Stir Fried Tiger Prawns With Lemongrass And Lychee Salad. A combo of hot and cold finishing touch with a strong hint of lemongrass.

And the final meat dish is the Deep Fried Crispy Duck with Morning Glory & Roasted Tomato Chilli Paste. I find the morning glory a little unique with a nice crunch. It is made quite similar to tempura-like finishing. According to the manager, the duck is first pre-cooked with a broth and later deep fried before serving to the customer. You can taste the deep taste of the marinade in the meat.

For vegetables, we were served the Stir Fried Brussels Sprout With Sea Scallops in Royal Thai Sauce.

Finally, for dessert, we were served a Triple Joy platter which consists of 3 individual desserts, the first of which is the Ja Mong Kud (egg yolk dumpling in wheat flour crown). This is a traditional Thai dessert that is served in the Thai Palace. The next one is the Pandan Creme Dumplings and the last dessert is the Jasmine Mango Panna Cota.

So, if you are bored already with the standard Chinese Yee Sang and Chinese Dishes, you can head over to Rama V for a Thai-licious CNY for a change.
