CNY Day Dinner

Our traditional CNY Day 1 dinner with family and Uncle's Cliff's family. Given that everyone would probably be tired of Chinese banquet foods, we decided to go for steak this year. Below is the 6 course menu.

Seared Foie Gras

Traditional Onion Soup (can substitute with Mushroom Cappuccino)

Romaine Heart

US Snake River Farms Black Label Wagyu A Cut Steak or
Live Boston Lobster

Sides of Sautéed Mushrooms; Steamed Broccoli; Coriander-Lime Butter Sweet Corn

Grand Mariner Suffle

Coffee or Tea

The wines are incredible. La Chpelle paired perfectly with the Wagyu steak.

  France, Champagne

  Cristal has always been one of my favorite champagne. This one did not disappoint--elegant and full of apple flavours.

It's a pity that Mom begged off (she does not eat beef). Other than that it was a great evening.
