As we bade farewell to the Year of the Dragon, those who celebrate will begin preparing for the festivities leading up to the first day of the Lunar New Year. This will make way for the earthy snake on 29th of January 2025, heralding a year of prosperity and abundance. Honouring the traditions of Chinese New Year, Oversea Restaurant’s festive feast — a celebration of the rich heritage of Cantonese cuisine, infused with modern creativity — will be available from the end of December 2024 until Chap Goh Mei. Returning seasonal delights, including the Yee Sang, Prosperity Treasure Pot, Hong Kong-style Claypot Waxed Meat Rice, and an exquisite array of confectionery, promise abundance, joy, and a hearty feast for the tummy.
Yee Sang, a traditional dish symbolising new beginnings, is often the first dish served at Chinese New Year reunion dinners. This colourful dish features shredded vegetables, crispy flour strips, peanut crumbs, sesame seeds, and more, with each ingredient carrying a special meaning. Family and friends gather to toss the ingredients together, wishing each other prosperity and good fortune for the year ahead.
Oversea Restaurant adds a modern twist to this tradition with options like the Fabulous Fruity Yee Sang in Dragon Fruit Sauce or Yee Sang with Jellyfish & Korean Snow Pear, offering fresh textures and flavours. For those who prefer the classic, there’s Yee Sang with Smoked Salmon or Abalone or a more refined choice like Yee Sang with Abalone & Black Truffle. Starting from RM78++, Oversea Restaurant ensures that every toss brings a burst of flavour and fortune for the year ahead.
Usher in the year on an auspicious note with Oversea Restaurant’s festive favourite, the Prosperity Treasure Pot, also known as “Poon Choi”. This dish is a true symbol of abundance, featuring layers of premium ingredients slow-braised to perfection in a rich, aromatic broth – embraces the spirit of sharing, with 16 carefully chosen ingredients stacked one on top of the other. Premium items include succulent Cantonese Roast Duck, Crispy Roasted Pork Belly, Iberico Pork Ball, and high-quality dried seafood like Whole Abalone, Japanese Dried Scallops, and Fish Maw. The assortment of vegetables adds a beautiful touch, while the flavours blend harmoniously to create a dish that’s both visually stunning and delicious.
The Prosperity Treasure Pot is a wonderful symbol of fortune and prosperity, perfect for sharing with loved ones. Available in portions for 6 people, you can choose to dine in or take it home to enjoy at your reunion parties. The price at RM688++, this dish promises a memorable start in the slithering year. Rooted in the rich legacy of Cantonese cuisine, Oversea Restaurant’s Hong Kong-Style Claypot Waxed Meat Rice is a dish you won’t want to miss. By using the traditional method of cooking in a clay pot, it locks in moisture and infuses every grain of rice with the essence of the ingredients. As soon as you lift the lid, the strong aroma of fragrant rice and layers of three types of waxed meat fills the air, inviting you to indulge the world of flavours. The smoky, savoury combination ensures every spoonful is a delight, evoking feelings of joy, nostalgia, and celebration.
