New Ubin Seafood (Chijmes) Chinese New Year Lunch

 New Ubin Seafood Chijmes - Restaurant Front

I have been to New Ubin Seafood's outlet in Hillview (which has unfortunately closed) and the tasty dishes left a deep impression on me.

Here is New Ubin Seafood (Chijmes)'s Chinese New Year Set Menu 2023 for your reference. The set we had was Wealthy Bunny Menu at S$888++ for 10 people.

New Ubin Seafood (Chijmes) - Wealthy Bunny Menu

New Ubin Seafood Chijmes - Golden Fortune Lo Hei with Salmon

In Singapore, the first dish of any Chinese New Year menu is always yusheng or Prosperity Toss. Yusheng is supposedly from China, but friends in different parts of China say they have never seen such a thing. Yusheng's literal meaning is "raw fish" but since it sounds like "余升" which means "increase in abundance". Therefore, yusheng symbolizes abundance, prosperity and vigor.

Golden Fortune Lo Hei with Salmon comes pre-plated with shredded cucumber, carrots, red and green pickles, egg omelette, crushed peanuts, pomelo, ginger slices and onion slices. The staff says auspicious words as she adds in the sauces, salmon slices, mini abalone and crisps.

New Ubin Seafood Chijmes - Double-Boiled Superior Soup with Fish Maw and Crab Meat

I am glad that New Ubin Seafood changes shark's fin soup to Double-Boiled Superior Soup with Fish Maw and Crab Meat. The soup is just as aromatic without the need to kill sharks just for their fins.

New Ubin Seafood Chijmes - Deep-Fried Crispy Soon Hock with Sweet & Sour Sauce

The soon hock used in Deep-Fried Crispy Soon Hock with Sweet & Sour Sauce is really fresh. The fish meat is firm and juicy while the sweet & sour sauce brings out the sweetness of the flesh.

New Ubin Seafood Chijmes - Wok-Fried Tiger Prawns with Sambal Chincalok & Petai

Wok-Fried Tiger Prawns with Sambal Chincalok and Petai is my favourite dish of this meal. The huge succulent tiger prawns taste so good with sourish fermented shrimp paste and petai beans.

New Ubin Seafood Chijmes - Coffee-Rubbed, Oven Baked Whole Golden Chicken

I find Coffee-Rubbed, Oven-Baked Whole Golden Chicken just like regular roasted chicken. The coffee-rub is supposed to give the chicken sweet, savoury and spicy flavours but I did not taste any of that.

New Ubin Seafood Chijmes - Abalone, Scallops Braised Clam, Shitake Mushroom and Broccoli

Abalone, Scallops, Braised Clam, Shiitake Mushrooms and Brocolli is like a deconstructed version of the classic peng cai. Inside of serving it in a claypot, New Ubin Seafood lays all the ingredients on a huge plate which makes eating easier, but the taste is still the same.

New Ubin Seafood Chijmes - Braised Pork Knuckle Bee Hoon

The last savoury dish is  Braised Pork Knuckle Bee Hoon in case you are still hungry. The pork knuckle is fall-off-the-bone tender and the bee hoon taste superb cooked in the pork knuckle braise.

New Ubin Seafood Chijmes - 8 Treasures Cheng Tng

Having a bowl of sweet classic 8 Treasures Cheng Tng is the perfect finish to this Chinese New Year meal.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
