Seafood main dishes include the Steamed Whole Red Snapper in Superior Soy Sauce.
Chow’s team delivered a fresh take on tiger prawns by serving the crustacean in tangy orange sauce.
Glutinous rice wrapped in a lotus leaf was elevated tastewise with dried mussels, scallops and salted egg in the mix while the Crispy Chicken with Almond and Butter Sauce is notch up from its traditional version.
The tau gan, shiitake mushroom and broccoli with goji berries in scallop sauce made its entrance as the vegetable dish for dinner.

“The fish, chicken and seafood are carefully selected to ensure freshness in bringing out the texture and natural sweetness when cooked so they can absorb flavours while sauces are made from scratch,” he said.Hilton Petaling Jaya general manager Craig Bonnor said “It is the perfect time to reunite with your loved ones over our delectable menus,” he said.
