Chinese New Year Set Menus

Dong Dong Chiang - When it comes to Chinese New Year, and if you are surrounded by a bunch of good folks, you will tend to have the “oomph” to either organizing “Sou Gong” or “Hoi Gong” lunch/dinner or the reunion gathering. This just another excuse to indulge yourself for another good “makan”. However, if you are the organizer, you will be quite headache to think of where to have this auspicious “makan”. Well, first it has to be grand and lavish as it marks that you have a good year this year and going forward to have a better year. But then, you have to watch out the budget too as the price of all things has shoot up but unfortunately not our salaries. So to strike a balance, it ain't an easy job.

For easy reference, here are menus from various restaurants that I like. Pick your choice.


1. Overseas Restaurant - Jalan Imbi

Businessmen always claim that this restaurant as the best Chinese restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. Prices are steep though, no two ways about it so only go there when you really feel you need a great meal. Booking is a must here otherwise no tables left especially during dinner!

P/S : The char siew is a must try - however, do call to make a reservation of it as it gets sold out quite early in the day!

2. Hee Loi Ton Restaurant - Pudu

Traditional Chinese restaurant with reasonable price. It is one of the older restaurant which still serve excellent food. Patrons are generally the older generation and repeat customers.

P/S : The prawn with special sauce is always one of my favourite food.

3. Elegant Inn Restaurant - Menara Hap Seng

If you follow my blog, I had my Dong Zhi reunion dinner here (click on my previous post). Food quality and environment strike a balance, just a little pricey.

4. Sam You Restaurant - Serdang

This is the most economic set menu. The restaurant is just by the roadside, 5 mins drive from The Mines. The place is congested, full with cars and people. The environment is noisy considering most people here are for family events. If you look for good price with good food, Sam You would be your pick.
