This lunar new year, Ya Ge’s culinary team has come up with an astonishing array of sophisticated modern Chinese gastronomical delights that nods to the festive fervour. We shortlist what culinary creations you should try.

In the Year of the Rabbit, Ya Ge elevates the Southern Song specialty pen cai to new heights. Over 18 high-quality ingredients are used in Ya Ge’s rendition of this Chinese New Year dish to near perfection. They include the 10-head abalone, fish maw, conpoy, sea cucumber, and pork trotters cooked in a gravy reduced from decadent abalone.

Double-boiled Chicken Soup with Morel Mushrooms 

The chefs at Ya Ge got inspired to cook two nutritious and flavourful double-boiled soups, a testament to the prominence of Cantonese cooking featuring in the restaurant’s menu. One soup features pork ribs, starfruit and winter wheat for a dish that’s both visually appealing and chock full of flavours. Another, on the other hand, is a delightful soup that will feel like comfort food because of the way its components, such as chicken, morel mushrooms, and dendrobium stems, complement one another.

Ya Ge’s chicken dish and a quartet of mushrooms

Don’t miss out on Ya Ge’s chicken dish – a stuffed chicken stuffed with pork belly, cloud fungus, chestnuts, and a variety of mushrooms (including morel, honshimeiji, shiitake, and him matsutake). The chicken is first wrapped in lotus leaves, encased in a salt dome and then roasted in the oven. The abalone sauce, flavoured with chicken and other secret substances the chef is too modest to reveal, is the crowning glory of this delectable specialty since the ingredients gel nicely together.

Ya Ge has spared no expense to provide a lavish gourmet experience, and this understated jewel of a dish is a wonderful way to round up the meal on a happy note. Diced chicken and smoked duck are prepared separately and then combined in a large fry with abalone sauce; the meal is finished with fifteen minutes of steaming, during which the aroma of the lotus leaves is infused.
