Prosperity ‘Yu Sheng’ with Smoked Salmon

This photo of the yusheng was taken after we added the ingredients in and before the “Lo Hei”. Beneath those crunchy crackers and the pile of smoked salmon unveils a vibrant harmony of vegetable shreds. This dish was sweet and savoury, with a slight kick from the white pepper which makes the whole dish a very flavourful "snack"! I'm sure most of the Chinese would be very familiar with this dish as it is a yearly tradition to have it during Chinese New Year.

Fish Maw and Crab Meat in Superior Pumpkin Broth

The pumpkin broth here was smooth and thick, similar to the pumpkin soups that you get from western cuisine restaurants. The chunks of crab meat and pieces of fish maw used here really complemented the soup and provided an extra texture and flavour. In my opinion, this warm and hearty broth would especially be the best thing you can ask for on a cold day.

Deep-fried Lobster Ball

The lobster balls are quite big in size hence eating two at a single seating can be a tad overwhelming to your taste buds. However, with that said, it doesn't mean they were not delicious. In fact, they were so good, they were quickly polished off by the team. The lobster balls were firm yet maintaining a springiness to them, which gave a great bouncy chewy texture. You could also taste a hint of the lobster, which intensifies the more you chew them in your mouth.

Steamed Herbal Chicken

This herbal chicken dish is not to be missed! The meat was sooo tender. The chicken itself was so tender and juicy you might even mistake the breast meat for thigh meat. Just by using a spoon, we were able to get the meat off the bone while witnessing its juices flowing right back to the herbal-ish concoction. I thought that the herbal broth was of rather a superior standard. You could taste the multiple layers of flavours from the natural juices of the chicken, herbs and seasonings used. I feel the slight bitterness from the herbs was the quintessential point of a herbal chicken dish and this one from BellyGood certainly did not disappoint!

Fish Fillet with Pineapple and Trio Pepper

The fish fillets were coated nicely with a well-seasoned batter and paired with a sweet and sour sauce. The fish fillets were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sauce used was a little watered down but that did not compromise on its taste at all. The sauce was rather citrusy, giving it a strong distinct and refreshing flavour.

Deep-fried Prawn with Crispy Oat (De-Shelled)

This deep-fried prawns dish was the star of the show. Once we opened the container, the smell coming from the crispy oat caught all our attention. Everybody who wanted to go back for seconds could only find the remaining oat bits left. Kudos to BellyGood for taking the effort to deshell the prawns, saving customers the hassle of peeling it! The prawns were decently sized and very flavourful as the prawns have absorbed all the goodness from the oats and seasoning. You could taste a hint of chillies and curry leaves too!

Stir-fried Hong Kong Kai Lan with ‘Fatt Choy’

The dark sweet sauce was probably one of the seasonings used to cook this dish, as I could taste the distinct caramelized dark sauce from the mushrooms. A few vegetables variety was used here. There were mushrooms, tofu and some seasonal vegetables. The small sponges of tofu have soaked up all the sauce and burst with flavour when you bite into them. Pair this dish with the fragrant lotus fried rice and it is perfect!

Lotus Leaf Fried Rice with Diced Chicken

When we received the set, the rice was still steaming hot! Upon unwrapping the lotus leaf, a cloud of steam was released, and you could smell the aroma which really whetted our appetites! The rice was slightly moist and was very tasty with a light soy flavour. BellyGood was very generous with the ingredients used in this dish! There were so much chicken cubes all through this dish. This dish was so good on its own that you wouldn't need to pair it with any side dishes!

Osmanthus Jelly Cocktail with Apricot

This dessert was really refreshing, especially on that warm day we were having this food review in. It has a light almond flavour with the jelly-like white fungus enhancing the overall texture of this dessert. The sweetness of this dessert was just right and was the perfect way to end a good meal!

Mini Cream Ingot topped with Chocolate

Sweet little indulgence! These pastries are best served chilled which will bound to provide you a satisfying and refreshing bite. The slightly "frosty" light custard cream went really well with the pastry with the chocolate topping akin to a cherry on the cake. Just, perfect!

Overall, the food catered was of superior standard! It is as good as if it was served fresh. You can order this CNY Fortune Party Set HERE! If you want to look at other options, you can check our BellyGood Caterer!
