"Prosperity" Smoked Salmon Yu Sheng

Firstup, we have the "Prosperity" Smoked Salmon Yu Sheng. We were all pleasantly surprised at how generous CJS was with the amount of smoked salmon provided to complement the Yu Sheng. Each slice of salmon tasted as fresh as it possibly could, and when coupled with the freshly grated vegetables, it sure brought wide smiles to all our faces!

Deluxe Pen Cai

Next, we got to try CJS catering’s big bowl feast of Pen Cai. we were all in awe at the abundance of seafood, meat, vegetables and other ingredients encased within this beauty pot. Coupled with a thick broth, this dish was to die for! We would highly recommend you to give this dish a try as you will be pleasantly surprised with how fresh and delicious the overall dish is!

Fish Maw Soup with Crab Meat

We also got to try CJS catering’s Fish Maw Soup with Crab Meat. Most of us felt that this dish needed slight improvements as it was a little too sweet, and would have been better if there was a better balance of flavours. Nonetheless, it was still dish well done that contained a generous amount of fish maw and crab meat.

Rating: 3.5/5

Luxury Chicken Roll

One of the winning dishes from the whole spread would have to be their Luxury Chicken Roll. It was a very innovative dish that contained a very well balance of flavours and texture. The chicken meat had a perfect golden brown coated on the outside, with a tender and juicy meat encased within. Furthermore, the ham rolled between the chicken meat gave the dish the extra texture that enhanced the overall taste, which was a very creative move by CJS catering. This is a definite must try!

Rating: 5/5

Hong Kong Style Roast Duck

The Hong Kong Style Roast Duck was another dish we got to have a taste of. The duck was cooked to perfection, with a slight crisp on the outer skin and tenderness in the meat. However, we felt that this dish was lacking in seasoning and would have fared better if the intensity of flavours was enhanced.

Rating: 3.5/5

Kueh Pie Tee (DIY)

Another outstanding dish we had the opportunity to try would be the Kueh Pie Tee. The caterer was very thoughtful to have separated all the ingredients to prevent the dish from becoming soggy. It also allowed us to have the opportunity to DIY the kueh pie tee to our liking with the respective toppings. The toppings and sauce complemented each other very well which produced a very well-balance overall dish that left all of us coming back for second servings!

Chilled Cheng Tng with Dried Persimmon

What’s a better way to end a feast than to have a bowl of refreshing dessert to cleanse your palette and end it on a sweet note? CJS catering provided us with a Chilled Cheng Tng with Dried Persimmon which was simply delicious! With a generous amount of ingredients such as red dates, longan and white fungus, it gave the dish a balance of flavours and variety of textures.

CNY Party Pack ($588/set)

"Longevity" Abalone Yu Sheng

CJS also delivered this colourful mouth-watering plate of Abalone Yu Sheng that was simply delicious. Not only was the abalone fresh and succulent, but the entire dish definitely lived up to its purpose of symbolising an abundance of prosperity. Furthermore, with the generous amount of condiments and sauces, it definitely played its part in ensuring that there a balance flavours and textures.

Rating: 5/5

Premium Pen Cai

Next up, we have the Premium Pen Cai. Not only was this dish overflowing with fresh seafood, vegetables and other meats, the broth was also packed full of flavours! The abalone, scallops, mussels and prawns were exceptionally sweet, fresh and succulent. The sea cucumber and mushrooms was perfectly cooked as well and soaked up much of the intense broth that led to it being highly addictive. This dish definitely deserves a thumbs up!

Rating: 5/5

Clear Chicken Soup with Bird's Nest

Another rather appetizing dish would be the Clear Chicken Soup with Bird's Nest. We could not find any fault in this dish at all as it was simply deeee-licious! With just the right amount of wolfberries and red dates, it gave the chicken soup the right amount of sweetness and intensity that it needed. Moreover, the boiled chicken meat was so tender and soft that was easy to pull apart and melted in our mouths the moment we gave it a try! This dish definitely deserves a 5/5!

Rating: 5/5

8 Treasures Stuffed Duck

The 8 Treasures Stuffed Duck was a unique dish that most of us were unfamiliar with. However, we were all pleasantly surprised at how tender and flavour-packed the duck meat was! The ingredients such as mushrooms and carrots stuffed within the duck managed to soak up the seasonings which made it highly addictive too! Their generous amount of sauce provided on the side helped ensure that the duck meat remained juicy and tender.

Rating: 4/5

Steamed Prawn & Water Chestnut Patties

Another rather creative and unique dish from CJS catering would be their Steamed Prawn and Water Chestnut Patties. These small little prawn patties had just the right balanced amount of herbs which helped packed the dish with a punch of flavours. The water chestnuts mixed in with the prawn paste also gave the extra crunch and sweetness to it. We were also given their salted egg yolk sauce to pair with the prawn patties which complemented very well with the dish, as it helped balance the taste with its slight saltiness.

Rating: 4/5

Chilli Crab Meat with Golden Buns (DIY)

The Chili Crab Meat with Golden Buns (DIY) was also another highly appetizing dish! The golden buns were crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. The caterer was also very thoughtful to have cut out a piece from the golden buns, so as to fill the bun up with their chili crab meat. The chili crab gravy was very flavourful with just the right amount of sweetness, spiciness and saltiness. You and your guests are bound to come back for second servings!

Rating: 4/5

Snow Jelly with Red Dates, Winter Melon & Longan

There's no better way to end a large feast than to have a bowl of refreshing dessert. The Snow Jelly with Red Dates, Winter Melon and Longan was the perfect cooling treat we all needed! Many of us were afraid of the dessert being too sweet, however we were all proven wrong. It had just the right amount of sweetness and with all the components added in, it gave the dish the extra texture element it needed.

Rating: 4/5

It was definitely a feast to remember!  CJS Catering has specially designed a variety of menus to cater to the upcoming Lunar New Year celebrations.
