The Prosperous Set Menu.
TO USHER in the Year of the Dragon, a Kuala Lumpur hotel will be presenting an auspicious festive menu lineup at its restaurant.
Instead of the conventional plum sauce, it’s a special pineapple sauce for the yee sang at the Element Kuala Lumpur.
Its executive Chinese chef Linus Mak has created the pineapple dressing to bring together a perfect balance of sweetness and tangy flavours.
The yee sang, made from a medley of shredded fresh fruits and vegetables, comes with a choice of toppings – raw salmon slices, crispy fish skin or whole abalone.
Aside from being sold at Trace Restaurant and Bar for dine-in and takeaway, the yee sang is also available on the restaurant’s reunion set menus.
It is priced from RM108nett for a half portion and RM158nett for a full portion.
For family reunions and corporate get-togethers, Element Kuala Lumpur is offering two set menus.
Each set includes yee sang, double-boiled chicken soup, specially braised “money bags” that symbolise prosperity, as well as chicken, fish and sea prawn dishes.
The Auspicious Set Menu is priced at RM2,188+ per table of 10 people, while the Prosperous Set Menu is at RM2,388+ per table of 10 people. A minimum booking of three tables is required for each set menu.
Both the yee sang and set menus are available until Feb 24.
Trace’s buffet dinner spread will be spiced up during the festive season, with special additions such as Claypot Rice with Preserved Chicken Sausage, Sichuan-Style BBQ and Golden Salted Egg Squid.
They will be served alongside buffet favourites such as Herb-Crusted Beef Sirloin, BBQ Beef Short Ribs live carving trolley and live grill station.
Priced at RM168 nett per adult, the Spring Oriental Buffet Dinner is available only on Fridays and Saturdays, from Jan 5 to March 9.
Trace’s Oriental Afternoon Tea is making a comeback.
Elegantly presented in a three-tier retro Chinese basket, this photo-worthy tea set encompasses a delicious range of Chinese teatime treats also curated by Mak.
Savoury items include Phoenix Dumpling topped with Baby Abalone, House-Made Siew Mai with Truffle Paste, Sliced Abalone Skewer and Marinated Scallop Lips.
For sweet treats, there are Pan-Fried Home-Style Nian Gao, Deep-Fried Peanut Sesame Ball, House-Made Pumpkin and Taro Paste and Panna Cotta with Dragon Fruit Puree.
The Oriental Afternoon Tea is available daily from 1pm to 5pm (Mondays to Fridays) and 2.30pm to 5pm (weekends and public holidays).
One set for two persons is priced at RM168nett. It is available until March 31.
