This Lunar New Year, Executive Chef Liu Zhen unveils Yong Fu’s festive year-end banquet menu designed for 10 guests, available exclusively between 6th – 21st January 2023. In a contrast from its northern counterpart, Chinese New Year decorations in Ningbo are represented very simply by red touches across white walls and tiles. People in Ningbo seem to prefer expressing the New Year festivities instead through their food, prepared for loved ones with warmth and delicacy. While Ningbo people appear reserved, they are far from conservative, striking a balance between tradition and innovation to fuse the best of both the old and modern worlds.
For Yong Fu’s year-end banquet, Chef Liu not only showcases the traditional aspects of Ningbo cuisine, but also incorporates his unique understanding of local Hong Kong ingredients and food culture. The menu, which is designed to share among a group of 10 guests, is priced at HK$25,888 +10% service charge.
Highlights of the celebratory menu include an appetiser of Raw Shuttle Crab marinated in wine, soy sauce and vinegar, alongside jellyfish skin fish jelly with caviar, Ham Shank stewed with premium South African dried abalone, Yong Fu’s Signature Crispy Chicken, Shanghai-style sautéed Bok Choy Hearts, sautéed Glutinous Rice Cakes with Chinese flat cabbage, crab meat and tomalley, and a dessert of Ningbo Glutinous Rice Dumplings with black sesame seeds. The full menu is as follows:
