Heritage Party In A Box – Chinese New Year Party Set by Le Rainbow Catering

The Heritage Party In A Box is Le Rainbow Catering’s signature Chinese New Year mini buffet, curated to provide a complete and well-balanced feast. Designed for sharing, this mini buffet is ideal for those who want a full spread without the complexity of a large buffet setup.

Perfect for smaller groups, it highlights classic Nonya flavours, comforting dishes, and festive favourites that appeal to all ages.

What’s Included in the Heritage Party In A Box?

Malacca Peranakan Chicken with Fermented Soy Bean (Ayam Pongteh)
A comforting, savory-sweet classic of the Peranakan home. Tender chicken is slowly braised in a rich, earthy sauce made from tau cheo (fermented soybean paste), sweetened with palm sugar and light soy. The addition of garnish makes it a hearty, one-pot dish where the flavors deepen beautifully over time. It is the taste of family gatherings and cherished heritage.

Battered Barramundi Fillet with Nonya Asam Pedas
A vibrant and tangy symphony. Delicate barramundi fillet is encased generously coated in the signature asam pedas gravy. This gravy is a fiery and sour concoction of tamarind, lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, and chilies—a perfect balance that awakens the senses and showcases the Nyonya mastery of spice.

Pan-Fried Prawn with Turmeric Sweet & Sour Sauce
Sunshine on a plate. Plump, succulent prawns are pan-fried to a slight crispness and tossed in a luminous golden sauce. Fresh turmeric root provides a warm, aromatic base, while a delicate sweet-and-sour tang from lime and sugar complements the natural sweetness of the prawns. A modern yet authentic twist on a familiar flavor profile.

Nonya Cabbage with Mushroom, Bean Stick & Bean Paste
A humble yet deeply flavorful stir-fried vegetable dish. Sweet cabbage and earthy mushrooms are wok-tossed with crispy fu chok (bean sticks) in a savory sauce built on fermented bean paste. It’s a textural delight—crunchy, and umami-rich—that demonstrates the Nyonya knack for elevating simple ingredients.

Nonya Otak-Otak with Lime Leaf
The quintessential Peranakan snack, steamed to perfection. A delicate, creamy mousse of spiced fish (typically mackerel or snapper) is infused with a fragrant paste of lemongrass, turmeric, galangal, and coconut milk, then wrapped in banana leaf.

Olive Black Nut Fried Rice with Silver Fish (Buah Keluak Nasi Goreng)
A dish of profound, complex heritage. This is no ordinary fried rice. It is cooked with the treasured and unique buah keluak nut—a Peranakan staple. The nut’s paste, with its deep, earthy, almost truffle-like and slightly bitter chocolate notes, permeates every grain of rice. Tossed with aromatic spices, dried shrimp, and topped with crispy silver fish (ikan bilis), it is a bold, unforgettable culinary experience.

Gula Melaka Sliced Cake
A melt-in-your-mouth steamed cake perfumed with the soul of Southeast Asia. This soft, porous cake derives its distinctive caramel-like, toffee sweetness entirely from Gula Melaka (palm sugar). Subtly flavored with pandan, it is moist, fragrant, and elegantly simple—a beloved teatime treat.

Assorted Nonya Kueh
A colorful mosaic of bite-sized delights, each a work of art. These steamed or coconut-dusted sweets boast vibrant hues from natural ingredients like pandan and sweet potato. Textures range from soft and jelly-like (e.g., kueh sagu) to sticky and glutinous (e.g., kueh kosui). Sweetened with coconut and palm sugar, this assortment offers a delightful, not-too-sweet end to the meal, showcasing the Nyonya’s artistic precision.

Premium Chinese New Year À La Carte Dishes to Add On

For hosts who want to elevate their CNY spread, Le Rainbow Catering also offers premium à la carte dishes that pair beautifully with the Heritage Party In A Box. These dishes work especially well as centrepieces or luxury add-ons for larger gatherings.

Xin Jiang Mongolia Lamb Shank

A majestic and robust dish that brings the bold flavors of the steppe to your table. A whole, tender lamb shank is marinated in a distinctive blend of chili, and aromatic Xinjiang spices, then slow-braised until the meat falls effortlessly from the bone. Rich, deeply savory, and fragrantly smoky, it's a hearty and unforgettable centerpiece.

Slow Cooked Beef Sirloin with Nonya Rendang

A labor of love and the pinnacle of Malacca Peranakan spice artistry. Prime beef sirloin is slow-cooked in an intensely flavorful, dry rendang gravy. The coconut milk and a complex paste of lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, and toasted coconut reduce to a dark, caramelized coating that clings to the incredibly tender beef, offering a powerful, aromatic, and slightly sweet heat in every bite.

Steamed Lotus Rice with Chinese Sausage & Dried Shrimp

A fragrant, comforting classic. USA premium calrose rice is steamed to perfection within a fragrant lotus leaf, which imparts a subtle, earthy aroma. Each spoonful reveals savory treasures of unami Chinese sausage (lap cheong), salty dried shrimp, and mushrooms, creating a warm, satisfying, and deeply flavorful parcel that is a meal in itself. This dish is addictive with the texture of the rice and the cocktail of cooking fusions and the taste is authentically ORIENTAL and surpasses the local usual taste.

Whole Barramundi with Pickled Mustard Green

A dramatic and delicious presentation of contrast. A whole, fresh barramundi is steamed or braised to delicate perfection, then topped with a generous, tangy sauce of pickled mustard greens ("kiam chye"), ginger, and tomatoes. The sharp, tangy crunch of the greens beautifully cuts through the sweet, flaky flesh of the fish, creating a light yet profoundly savory and appetizing dish.
