A Homely & Crowd-Pleasing CNY Feast: Scrumptious Prosperity Mini Buffet Review

Chinese New Year gatherings are all about good food, good company, and dishes that everyone at the table can enjoy. If you’re looking for a no-fuss, comforting CNY buffet that appeals to both seniors and kids, Scrumptious’ Prosperity Mini Buffet (富贵喜庆迷你套餐) is a solid choice.

This menu leans towards classic Chinese buffet favourites — nothing too adventurous, no overpowering spices — making it ideal for family reunions with multiple generations. I had the chance to try several dishes from this menu, and overall, it delivered exactly what you’d expect from a traditional CNY spread: familiar flavours, well-balanced seasoning, and comforting textures.

1. Golden Coin Fried Rice with Chicken Floss

The fried rice was fragrant and well-seasoned without being greasy. The grains were fluffy, and the addition of chicken floss gave it a light savoury sweetness that paired well with the rice. The crispy golden bits added subtle texture, making this a comforting staple that’s easy for all ages to enjoy!

2. Fortune Herbal Chicken

This was my personal favourite of the entire spread. The chicken was tender and moist, simmered in a light herbal broth that was aromatic but not overpowering. The herbal notes were gentle and fragrant, making it especially suitable for older folks who appreciate nourishing, soup-based dishes. It felt warming and wholesome — very fitting for CNY.

3. Golden Cereal Fish Fillet

At first glance, I thought this might be fishcake, but it turned out to be tender fish fillet coated with crunchy cereal. The contrast was surprisingly enjoyable — soft, flaky fish paired with extremely crunchy cereal bits. The cereal added both texture and flavour, giving this dish a fun twist while still staying within familiar Chinese buffet territory.

4. Salted Egg Prawn

A definite crowd-pleaser. The prawns were generously coated in creamy salted egg sauce, which was rich, savoury, and indulgent without being overly oily. The salted egg flavour was bold, and you could tell they didn’t hold back on the sauce — great for salted egg lovers. Trust me, this dish will definitely be everyone's favourite, no matter young or old!

5. Fa Cai Mushrooms and Broccoli

This vegetable dish added a refreshing balance to the meal. The mushrooms were soft and well-braised, while the broccoli retained a pleasant bite. The inclusion of fa cai gave it a festive touch, both visually and symbolically, making it a fitting CNY vegetable dish that wasn’t bland.

6. Golden Money Bag

These crispy money bags were filled with seasoned seafood paste, offering a nice crunch on the outside and a savoury, slightly springy texture inside. They’re bite-sized, easy to eat, and visually festive — perfect as a finger food option that both kids and adults would enjoy. Yummy!
