At the Hong Kong centric restaurant, fifty-fifty their yee sang is dissimilar - a combination of 3 items to arrive fifty-fifty to a greater extent than bountiful - salmon, clams together with crunchy jellyfish. Keeping wellness inwards heed together with taste, their prosperity dish does non incorporate a unmarried strand of pickled vegetable or deep fried shredded yam. Instead it is all vegetables - a medley of turnip, pear, radish, carrots, peradventure but ane pickled leek, pomelo, cucumber together with ginger. There is too the must-haves aka the pok pok chui or crackers amongst a sprinkle of pepper, salt, oil, plum sauce together with a generous sprinkle of coarsely solid seat down peanuts.
The facial expression staff inwards Elegant Inn add together a deport on of specialty to the yearly thing yesteryear adding auspicious sayings. All the ameliorate I take in to toss together with lo sang away to skilful health, prosperity together with any our amount wishes.
Once the salad is finished downward to its concluding crunchy cracker, nosotros savor a "simple" starter - crunchy common salt together with pepper coated oyster mushrooms paired amongst decadent smoked egg topped amongst a slice of pan fried foie gras.
Prawns are a must for the occasion since they signify happiness. You volition survive happy to instruct these body of body of water based crustaceans lovingly coated inwards a lite vino sauce. Believe me, the sauce is finger licking skilful that I ended upwards fifty-fifty chewing on the shells for every drib of its delicious sauce.
Next comes an interesting dish, a play of textures inwards the oral fissure together with of course, the flavours. Nicknamed the crunchy Chinese sandwich, this was a layered beauty. First layer enclosing it was a pillow soft bun, followed yesteryear a crispy chicken pare lightly touched amongst prawn glue that sandwiches a crunchy soybean pare nacho. Lastly a slice of Chinese ham completes this delectable sandwich that y'all has y'all clamoring for more.

The light-green radish together with carrot balances out the rich gustation of the dish that y'all wishing y'all had a bowl of rice to soak upwards every drib of that delectable liquid.
One must non forget Elegant Inn's infamous lap mei fan. The waxed meats are all handpicked from Hong Kong amongst a rice that is cooked to fluffy perfection amongst but a teeny weeny crust at the bottom.
My personal favourite was the simmered Chinese cabbage amongst Japanese dried scallops together with HK dried prawns. The vegetable is cooked till tender together with infused amongst the lovely olfactory belongings from the dried seafood that I had to convey seconds of this dish.
Like a mortal in ane trial told me before, dessert is reserved for a minute stomach. Not certain if this is a truthful since I don't mean value nosotros convey the anatomy of a moo-cow that boasts of multiple stomachs.
However, when it comes to sweets, nosotros appear to ever abide by a means to swallow it including such seasonal items similar the New Year's Day cake or ning ko. Elegant Inn's version is but pan fried till it becomes a soft delectable gooey cake amongst crispy sides. They too brand their ain hazelnut cookies that convey a elementary silent alluring taste. Pair this amongst a lovely ruby edible bean glue amongst dark viscous rice.
Last but non least, a repast is never consummate at Elegant Inn without my favourite dessert, their fluffy Ma Lai Koh or steamed cake. The pillow soft steamed cakes are gorgeous together with ever a must social club for the family.
