Hock Hoe Heng Christmas Menu Review - A Scrumptious Chinese Style Christmas Feast!

Looking for something more traditional and oriental this Christmas? Well, Hock Hoe Heng has got you covered! Their Christmas bundle has delicious Chinese-style items that are sure to satisfy your tastebuds. You can enjoy this with friends and family this holiday season. Without further ado, let's start reviewing the items from Hock Hoe Heng!

1. Half Shell Garlic Scallops w Vermicelli

This dish came with a generous amount of vermicelli noodles and half-shell garlic scallops! The scallops were cooked to perfection and you can taste the freshness in them as well. The texture is just right too. The noodles have that familiar "Q-Q" texture that we're all familiar with and they are seasoned perfectly as well. The noodles and scallops go well together, but I just wished that there were more scallops to go around. Rating: 4/5

2. Smoked Black Pepper Duck Breast

Take a look at this delicious serving of smoked duck breast! The slices of duck breast have a rich smokey flavor that highlights the duck’s natural goodness. The flavour is well balanced too and I don't find it too salty, unlike some cheaper alternatives that taste like MSG. The texture is good too, which is an indication that the breast is cooked perfectly and not too long until it turns rubbery. Rating: 4.5/5

3. Fried Whole Spring Chicken

For all the fried chicken lovers out there, this dish is for you! The skin of the chicken is really crunchy and the meat is tender too. You can also tell that the chefs over at Hock Hoe Heng seasoned the batter well. There is also a nice batter to meat ratio and you won't feel like you're just eating breadcrumbs like with some types of fried chicken. However, I find the meat a little too dry for my liking. Rating: 4/5

4. Asparagus w Shrimps

This dish came with a generous portion of asparagus and shrimps along with some other veggies too like carrots. The greens were fresh, perfectly cooked, and seasoned well too. You could also taste the freshness in the shrimps. The texture was close to perfect too and they don't have a rubbery or chewy texture. Overall, I think it's a pretty solid dish. Rating: 4/5

5. Cream Puffs

The cream puffs are an excellent way to end your meal! The filling inside is generous and perfectly sweet. On the other hand, the pastry itself has a nice texture that you can sink your teeth into. It's definitely best served cold and it's a flavour explosion in your mouth! Rating: 4.5/5

6. Cheese Cocktail Sausages

These small sausages are a perfect way to start the Christmas feast. There was a generous amount of sausages, each being tasty and delicious too. Overall, I think it's a good way to start your meal but the one gripe I have with this dish is that there isn't enough cheese filling on the inside. Rating: 3.5/5

7.  Log Cake 500g

What's a Christmas feast like without a classic log cake? There was a perfect ratio of chocolate to cake ratio for the cake and it wasn't sweet to the point where it would be considered "jelak". This delicious cake will definitely be a crowd-pleaser at your Christmas dinner party. Rating: 4.5/5
Overall Rating: 4/5. This menu is really awesome and it's great for families that want to have a festive meal together. The more traditional Chinese-style food means that it can be more suitable for the older generation too who don't really have a palate for western cuisine. Check out the menu here!
