One World Hotel Petaling Jaya is our one-stop destination for a complete Lunar New Year dinner - Poon Choy that spells prosperity, plentifully prepared with everything from sashimi-grade scallops to chicken lap cheong for a Malaysian-friendly meal, plus a variety of Ox-picious Yee Sang, brightened by premium ingredients spanning abalone to geoduck.
To order, please call One World Hotel's Zuan Yuan Chinese Restaurant at 603-7681-1159 or WhatsApp 6016-339-0995
Executive Chef Tommy Choong takes pride in crafting Poon Choy that remains true to tradition - despite being pork-free, this treasure pot brims with brilliantly full-bodied flavours.
The Poon Choy feast is satisfying from start to finish - the seafood galore includes sashimi-grade Alaskan scallops, gently poached for a delicate tenderness; plump prawns, lightly deep-fried with soy sauce for a savoury-sweet juiciness; firm and fleshy abalone; plus dried oysters beautifully braised in oyster sauce.
Zuan Yuan's kitchen also weaves culinary magic with house-made fish balls, extra-special with strands of fatt choy, extra-textured and tasty with spring onions and dried shrimp.
Meat includes kampung chicken that's perfectly poached according to Hainan inspirations, alongside chicken lap cheong, punchily pan-fried for sheer succulence. Other ingredients including beancurd, broccoli, mushrooms and radish round out this heartily balanced Poon Choy.
Families will have fun feasting on this Poon Choy, encountering and experiencing a wealth of ingredients one after another, each with its own unique taste and texture, bound together in the kitchen's own-made fermented beancurd sauce that pays lip-smacking tribute to the origins of classical Poon Choy.
One World Hotel Petaling Jaya's Poon Choy is available ready to eat, in a portion for six persons at RM688 nett. Order at least one day in advance.
The Poon Choy is served in a lovely premium casserole pot that was exclusively designed for the hotel. You'll get to keep the pot, which should serve you for many more meals in the future, as well as the big, handy and endurable red bag.
Equally enticing is the range of premium Yee Sang, with accompaniments like live geoduck, as fresh as imaginable, yielding a gorgeous crunch and great briny richness, going well with a house-made sour plum sauce that's light and lively.
Zuan Yuan's Yee Sang is a kaleidoscope of colours and flavours - other possibilities include Yee Sang with Lobster Meat and Abalone or Yee Sang with Alaskan Scallops and Black Truffles, as well as Yee Sang with Salmon Fillet, Yee Sang with Crispy Whitebait and Salmon Skin, and Fruit Yee Sang with Chef's Special Sauce, starting from RM98 nett per half portion and from RM168 nett for a full portion. If you want to customise your Yee Sang with ingredients like live oysters, Zuan Yuan can also oblige.
