YeZi MIGF 2016 Festival Menu Review

This is the second year in a row, YeZi participated in MIGF and this year they has decided to take a different approach by pulling out some tricks up their sleeves and debuting new creations. So let’s eat and discover…

Golden Ball ~ Fried Chicken Rice Ball with Saffron Coated with Salted Egg Batter

Appetiser: Golden Ball ~ Fried Chicken Rice Ball with Saffron Coated with Salted Egg Batter

This is the unique Golden Ball a much like Malacca Chicken Rice Ball with a twist where they served the Fried Chicken Rice Ball with Saffron Coated with Salted Egg Batter. It’s crispy on the outer part and flavourful and moist inside. Best to eat it when its served hot and dipped it with the special sauce of chilly and ginger.

Broth: Ginseng Herbal Jelly Soup with Black Chicken 

Broth: Ginseng Herbal Jelly Soup with Black Chicken

Wootz! this is a hearty, delicious and nutritious broth filled with collagen in it. I am sure after drinking this soup my skin with has more elasticity. The Ginseng Herbal Jelly Soup with Black Chicken and Coral Seaweed Jelly is a must try. The natural sweetness of black chicken, thicken by the jelly seaweed collagen and also the flavour and fragrant of ginseng.

Black Sesame Balls (Squid), Coriander Balls (Squid), Lobster Balls (Lobster) and the Black Pepper with Cheese Ball (Chicken), Sliced Beef and Spanish Black Pig

Mains: Black Sesame Balls (Squid), Coriander Balls (Squid), Lobster Balls (Lobster) and the Black Pepper with Cheese Ball (Chicken)

Here are some of the mouth-watering mains and signature fresh ingredients for the steamboat. Delicious Black Sesame Balls (Squid), Coriander Balls (Squid), Lobster Balls (Lobster) and the Black Pepper with Cheese Ball (Chicken). The fresh and bouncy fish balls with assorted meats are unique and delicious. I like the Lobster Balls and also the Black Pepper with Cheese Ball with chicken meat. The melted cheese and meat balls are so addictive but let it cool down a bit before you bite it because the cheese might be too hot for your tongue.

Meat Galore: Sliced Beef and Spanish Black Pig

Special Dumplings: Coconut Dumpling and Shao Xing Dumpling

Special Dumplings: Coconut Dumpling and Shao Xing Dumpling

Here are some special dumplings, the Coconut Dumplings and Shao Xing Dumplings special prepared for the MIGF festive menu. I can taste the shredded coconut in the dumpling itself and Shao Xing Dumplings is very flavourful and fragrant.

Wonders of the Sea: Tiger Prawns, White Clams, Razor Clams, Prawn Paste

Wonders of the Sea: Tiger Prawns, White Clams, Razor Clams, Prawn Paste

Their steamboat set is filled with fresh seafood such as Tiger Prawns, White Clams, Razor Clams and Prawn Paste.

Sides: Mixed Vegetables, Mushrooms, Handmade Fu Chok Rolls and assorted noodles.

 Waterdrop Coconut, Sago and Gula Melaka with Crushed Peanuts

Dessert: Waterdrop Coconut, Sago and Gula Melaka with Crushed Peanuts

This Waterdrop Coconut, Sago and Gula Melaka with Crushed Peanuts dessert is a must try and a hit during Taste MIGF. Well waterdrop dessert is very popular nowadays and I have tried a few at different restaurants. The one that had in YeZi is different because Chef Chong used coconut water to make the waterdrop desserts. It gives the fragrant, cooling and soothing effect especially after the steamboat dinner. The combination of sago, gula Melaka and crushed peanuts give it more umphhh and Malaysian taste.
