Eastern & Oriental Hotel brings us cheer and prosperity this year of the Tiger with an array of Banquet set menus, buffets and mouth watering take away options to fit young and old for Chinese New Year.
We had the opportunity to have a sit down dinner to try out the Banquet set menu, and were also given a peek at their take away options.
The must have for CNY – Yee Sang
3 different types of Yee Sang are available – Fresh Salmon Yee Sang, Fresh Salmon & Sliced Abalone Yee Sang & Thai Style Yee Sang

- Prosperity Menu @ RM388++/person

We tried the Abundance Menu which kicked off with the Fresh Salmon & Sliced Abalone Yee Sang to ‘lou hei’. Followed by the Double Boiled Sea Treasure Herbal Soup.
Double Boiled Sea Tresaure Herbal Soup
Dried Scallop, fish maw, sea cucumber and chinese cabbage
E&O Signature Roasted Duck
One of my favourite roast ducks in town, hands down!
Steamed Garoupa Fish
With Premium soya sauce and garden greens
We thoroughly enjoyed this dish because the soya sauce had a wonderful fragrant aroma and the fish meat was meaty and robust.
Wok Fried Broccoli with Hericium Mushroom
Fatt Choy, sea cucumber and sea asparagus
Golden Fried King Prawns
Salted eggs & curry leaf
The Golden Fried King Prawns was another winner with the salted egg flavour permeating subtly without being too overpowering. The curry leaf lent a nice kick to the dish.
“Hong Kong” Style Ee Fu Noodles
Prawn, sea cucumber and crab meat gravy
This was a heartwarming dish to round off the mains. A lil addition of black vinegar elevated the dish and suited my palate.
Special Home Made Chendol Cake
For those who prefer to dine at home, do check out their Take away menu filled with lots of goodies.
Herbal Chicken with Ginseng (With fried rice wrapped in lotus leaf) RM138
Roasted Pei Pa Duck RM118
Assorted CNY Cookies – my favourite is the Pineapple Tart
