Jubilant Abundance at Peach Blossoms from 26 January until 25 February 2024

Executive Chinese Chef Edward Chong and his Culinary Team at Peach Blossoms have meticulously crafted an array of signature dishes, set menus, and a variety of Yu Sheng options. Notable among them are the crowd-favourite Harvest Yu Sheng and the exquisite Blossoming Abalone Treasure Pot. This culinary masterpiece showcases a medley of premium ingredients, including 10-head Whole Abalone, Sea Cucumber, Scallop, Braised Pig’s Trotter, Roast Duck, Dried Oyster, Live Prawn, Flower Mushroom, Lotus Root, Dace Fish Ball, and Radish, ensuring a delightful gastronomic experience.

During the media tastings, we indulged in a variety of exquisite dishes expertly crafted by the talented Executive Chinese Chef Edward Chong and his culinary team. Here’s the highlight of the dishes as follows:

Peach Blossoms Auspicious Yu Sheng

Peach Blossoms Auspicious Yu Sheng is a delightful fusion of clean ocean flavours and nutty sweetness from Kanpachi (Great Amberjack), enriched with the umami notes of fresh Hakkaido Uni (Sea Urchin). This harmonious blend is complemented by an array of fresh fruits, including succulent fresh strawberries, zesty kiwi, aromatic jackfruit, crisp nashi pear, luscious rockmelon, refreshing honeydew, and the unique jambu (Water Apple). Adorned with vanilla-infused shredded taro, this dish is a symbol of prosperity, inviting you to celebrate the Year of the Dragon in style at Peach Blossoms.

Double Boiled Geoduck and Chicken Mouse Soup

In the artful creation of Double Boiled Geoduck and Chicken Mousse Soup, Chef Edward’s inventive touch is on display, featuring a butterfly-shaped chicken mousse delicately adorned with the sweetness of corn and peas. Paired with sashimi-style geoduck, meant to be gently blanched in an aromatic broth meticulously crafted from eight hours of boiling free-range chicken, this dish is a testament to culinary ingenuity and exquisite flavour.

Braised Dried Abalone, Fish Maw and Chicken

Indulge in the rich umami flavours of candy heart dried abalone from South Africa, meticulously prepared in-house over 2-3 weeks. Paired with a succulent, tender free-range chicken drumstick expertly filled with fish maw, this delicious dish symbolising good fortune and a year of abundance. 

Japanese Sea Cucumber, Sturgeon Fish Tendon Dumpling with Superior Sauce

To celebrate the Year of the Dragon, Chef Edward infuses sturgeon fish into this dish, selected for its head resembling a mythical dragon. The fish is expertly deboned and skillfully crafted into a dumpling resembling a fish, complete with its tendon. It is presented alongside prized Japanese sea cucumber in a sweet pumpkin and sturgeon broth. The mild and slightly sweet flavours of the firm sturgeon meat offer a delectable and gratifying experience.

During the media tastings, Chef Edward and his culinary team not only skillfully prepared exquisite dishes but also left us in awe with their masterful demonstration of the art of fine cooking. Their precision, creativity, and attention to detail were truly impressive, leaving a lasting impression on us. It was a culinary showcase that went beyond mere tastings, offering a captivating experience that demonstrated their culinary prowess and dedication to the craft.

All the dishes are presented with elegant finesse, thoughtfully curated with carefully selected tableware and decorative accents that seamlessly complement the Year of the Dragon theme. The meticulous attention to presentation enhances not only the flavours but also the overall dining experience.

Snow Crab and Wild Mushrooms, Served with Japanese Pearl Rice

Embracing the intricate flavours of snow crab, this dish harmonises the briny sweetness and savoury notes of the freshly peeled crab meat with the earthy richness of wild mushrooms. Delicate Japanese pearl rice is cooked alongside these ingredients in a clay pot, infusing a subtle smokiness. To elevate the dish, steamed egg white is delicately combined with snow crab leg meat and crowned with aromatic yellow wine.


Green Tea Puff with Osmanthus, Pineapple Sorbet, Red Date Cake, Peanuts and Pine Nuts Soup

We concluded our exceptional dining experience on a delightful note, savouring an array of desserts that tantalised our palates with diverse flavours and textures

A delicate and crisp Green Tea Puff, shaped like a mandarin, delivers a perfect blend of nutty notes of sesame and peanuts, complemented by the sweet umami notes of green tea paste and the invigorating touch of cucumber. Meanwhile, the tangy Pineapple Sorbet takes the form of a majestic stone lion, symbolising prosperity in the Lunar New Year.

Adding to the festivities, the Red Date Cake embodies joy and good fortune, featuring a soft glutinous texture enriched with red bean and red dates. Lastly, the Peanuts and Pine Nuts Soup, encased in an eye-catching shell, invites a ceremonial cracking open with a mallet, marking the auspicious start and welcoming a brand new year.

Our culinary journey at Peach Blossoms was an unparalleled delight, leaving us utterly impressed by Executive Chinese Chef Edward Chong’s and his culinary team’s masterful creations. Each dish was a testament to their culinary expertise, showcasing a perfect blend of flavours and textures that danced on our palates. From the exquisite Peach Blossoms Auspicious Yu Sheng, a fusion of oceanic notes and nutty sweetness, to the innovative Double Boiled Geoduck and Chicken Mousse Soup, each course was a revelation in culinary artistry. The meticulous preparation of the Braised Dried Abalone, Fish Maw, and Chicken exuded a sense of abundance, while the Japanese Sea Cucumber, Sturgeon Fish Tendon Dumpling with Superior Sauce transported us to a realm of delicate and gratifying flavours. The Snow Crab and Wild Mushrooms, with its intricate harmony, and the diverse array of desserts, including the Green Tea Puff and Pineapple Sorbet, concluded our dining experience on an extraordinary note.
