Neo Garden Catering – Celebrate the Year Of the Rabbit With a Bountiful Reunion Dinner Feast at Home!
January 07, 2023
We’re entering the Year of the (Water) Rabbit — a symbol of longevity, peace, and prosperity. 2023 is said to be a year of hope. This year, Neo Garden Catering honours that hope with its bountiful offerings of over 50 traditional and modern CNY must-have dishes!
Returning to the table is Neo Garden’s very own customizable potluck menu! Create your very own unique CNY reunion menu by picking from a variety of yushengs, mains, kuehs and pastries! Here are some of the highlights that we would absolutely recommend!
What better way to ring in the year of the rabbit than to celebrate with the Lucky Rabbit Yusheng (16″) ⽟兔迎春⻥⽣ ($168)? Experience a delicious medley of fresh vegetables arranged to look like a rabbit. It’s a culinary masterpiece that is both aesthetically pleasing, and delicious. We love that it is topped generously with thick salmon slices. It’s no wonder Neo Garden boasts a stunning record of having 10000 plates of yusheng sold yearly. Now ready your chopsticks, toss the Yu Sheng as high as you can while shouting “Lo Hei” or “Huat Ah!” and other auspicious new year wishes. Apart from Rabbit Yusheng, Neo Garden also has 15 other different types of Yusheng sets that are perfect for 8 -10 guests.
Your family is in for a treat with this mouth-watering Szechuan Sliced Fish with Pickled Mustard 四川 酸菜⻥ ($108.80). Neo Garden has really gone all out to ensure their fish is the epitome of freshness and quality. Every thick, tender slice of fish is slow poached in a broth of sour mustard greens and spices to achieve that lusciously piquant flavour. We could not resist going for repeat servings. Each portion comes with pickled vegetables, tofu and beansprouts which makes this an ideal dish for the whole family.
The Trio Hakka Abacus Seeds 客家三⾊算盘⼦ ($88) represents exactly what we look forward to during Chinese New Year — prosperity and wealth! We especially love Neo Garden’s rendition of Hakka Abacus seed as it has a combination of chewy yam, purple sweet potato and pumpkin “seeds” stir-fried with shiitake mushroom slices and dried shrimps for a flavour bomb. The painstaking effort put into this dish really pays off as every mouthful of abacus seeds yields a delightful umami. This dish is perfect for 8-10 guests.
Neo Garden Catering has curated a menu of traditional festive dishes, as well as festive dishes with a twist. Instead of the usual 扣肉包 Kong Bak Pao, why not opt for the DIY Chicken Katsu with Mantou ⻩⾦脆鸡柳块馒头拼盘 ($4.20/pax, min. 30pax) to elevate the festive spirit? Both the elderly and young will enjoy assembling the mouthwateringly crispy chicken between soft, pillowy steamed buns. Throw in an assortment of freshly cut carrots, lettuce or red cabbage before slathering on some of that rich yuzu mayo for an added oomph. This DIY set promises a family friendly activity that everyone will love.
Complete the reunion menu with everyone’s all-time favourite — the classic Teochew Orh Nee / Yam paste with Gingko Nut 芋泥⽩果 ($4.00/pax, min. 30pax)! Even with our tummies full, we couldn’t resist the smooth and creamy dessert! The yam paste was beautifully finished off with shallot oil which only made it even more addictive. We jumped right in as soon as it was served!
Apart from Neo Garden Catering’s customizable potluck menu, there are also preset options for you to consider. Starting from only $398.88, 3 different types of reunion sets (good for 8-10 guests) are available for those celebrating from the comfort of their homes.
For larger households, or workplace gatherings, Neo Garden has 5 different prosperity menus (starting from $29.88) to help you celebrate in style. Look forward to Chinese New Year delicacies, enticing local fare, and tantalizing nonya flavours, and many more. Can’t wait to plan the best reunion dinner?
