Chinese New Year is all about families, friends and loved ones getting together under one roof indulging in wholesome and sumptuous reunion dinners and reconnecting with each other.


This Chinese New Year, our Master Chefs have lined up flavoursome festive dishes that exquisitely blend both traditional and modern flavours to create an epicurean feast for both young and old alike. Simply perfect for Reunion Dinners, Yee Sang Specials and more. From the 1st January to 11th February, Ee Chinese Cuisine offers more than five types of hearty selection Chinese New Year set menus for your selection.


Starting with the not to be missed out is the one to performance one of the Chinese customary traditions of starting off the feast with the traditional tossing of the Salmon Yee Sang with Fried Fish Skin. At Ee Cuisine Chinese Restaurant it also offers some other unique varieties of Yee Sang including Salmon Trout, White Tuna, Shell Fish, Live Geoduck and others from RM98nett per serving.


The first main on the table was the Soup which is the Eight Treasures Seafood Soup, especially for the seafood lovers. It's rich in seafood flavour especially with ingredients which are crabs, prawns, shark fins, dried scallop and fish maw are some of the treasures you will find in your soup.


Next, we had the Roasted Pei-Pa Duck which was roasted to a perfect crisp with a chef signature Pei Pa sauce that went wonderfully with the roasted duck.


The fish dish which is Steamed Giant Grouper Fillet With Fresh Beancurd Skin and Ginger Sauce was steamed to the right temperature ensuring the tender-firm slice meat texture of this fish a real delight to be eaten. Supplementing the fish is the superior housemade sauce of ginger and scallions.


for the prawn dish, the chef has whipped up the Wok-Fried Sea Prawns Tossed With Golden Salted Egg Glaze. The flavourful salted eggs are nicely glazed to each of the deshelled prawns, making it very easy to eat the prawns.


For vegetables, we were served with the Stuffed Sea Cucumber With Sha Jiang Oyster, Garden Greens & Sea Moss Sauce. We like the premium Sha Jiang Oyster which is a bigger size compared to the normal dried oyster that was used for this dish and paired with the broccoli and stuffed sea cucumber.


For the rice dish, the Chef has created a personal serving portion of the steamed glutinous rice. When it arrives on the table, our first thought is that it resembles the popular Dim Sum dish of the 'Law Mai Kai' but it is seasoned with the Waxed duck meat, sausage and topped with a slice of chicken meat.


For dessert, Chef Alex serves us the Batter Fried Nian Gao With Sweet Potato; a traditional 'Nin Kuo' battered and deep-fried to a golden brown perfection with a nice crisp on the outside while the sweet cake has a melt in mouth texture.


Accompanying the Nin Gao is a sweet and warm offering which is the Double-Boiled Papaya with Osmanthus Flower. 

Other dishes that are available from Ee Cuisine are the Conventional Style Steamed Century Grouper Fish, Live Australian Lobster with Superior Broth, Pan Fried Lamb Rack, Stewed Alisan Abalone with Fish Maw, Wok Fried Live Tiger Prawn with Golden Floss and Crispy Oats, Oven Baked Oyster, and other delightful dishes starting from only RM1,888nett per table of 10 persons.

What is so special about the steamboat/hot pot offering from Secret Garden. For us, there are 3 things that make a perfect steamboat. The first is the broth, second will be the ingredients and the third is the sauce that goes with your cooked ingredients.


A little secret for you is that one of the core founders of Secret Garden is also the founder of Yezi; which offers premium steamboat to its' patron; needless to say, the offering at Secret Garden is comparable in quality.



We started our steamboat review with a Salmon Yee Sang


As above, there is 2 soup base on offer at Secret Garden. We opted for the Imperial Chicken Broth (RM78.00) which is boiled overnight using chicken, dried ham and dried scallop to ensure the full flavours extraction from all the ingredient that was used. The use of village chicken makes this broth extremely tasty. We took the first spoonful and all of us agreed on the rich broth was so good, we can have this with some white rice.

Seafood Dumplings 'Kao Zi

The collagen-rich broth was ideal that every time we put some ingredient into the pot, we will taste out the soup, and it never fails us to want more of it.

Handmade Pork Balls with Mushroom

The way to truly appreciate this Taiwanese Hot Pot is to ensure that ingredients are simmered in according to a sequence in which the staff at Secret Garden will be on hand to assist you to get the best of the steamboat/ hot pot meal.

Handmade Fish Paste

The second criteria of a good steamboat are the ingredient, here at Secret Garden, all the seafood balls and paste are hand made, which means quality and original flavours are as expected.

Sepiring At Mid Valley Serving Unique Malaysian Food


No matter how much food we have tasted, as Malaysian, we will fondly love the taste of Malaysian Food as we discover it at Sepiring at Mid Valley which serves some unique Malaysian Food. We are here to find out exactly what so unique about the Malaysian food that is served here.


Sepiring Mid Valley Address
Lot FK010, First Floor, South Court
Mid Valley Megamall, Mid Valley City
Lingakaran Syed Putra
59200 Kuala Lumpur.


We started off with some Malaysian rice dishes for this review. For Kelantan folks, this Nyonya Nasi Ulam with Ayam Percik RM25.90 will definitely appeal to you. In place of the familiar Nasi Kerabu, the chef gives it a twist with a marriage of the Nasi Ulam. Served with Keropok Lekor at the sides with a lovely Telur Masin, the dish is absolutely tasty.
