Another immaculate and hard to find dish is Assam Fish which 姑妈家 serves up! Tangy, and appetizing, this dish we polished clean really fast.

If you love your greens you’ll appreciate their spin on kailan! Served in a creative way where the leaves are deep fried and shredded , and the juicy stems boiled and lightly fried perhaps. Nice take on this!

For those looking for a less sweet version of yusheng, 姑妈家’s version is quite cool, contains dried mango and all ! not bad not bad!

And lastly this cold dish which is typically starters! Was nice and basically it got the whole table really excited as it is served with dry ice for panache! Lots of dry ice emanating vapour for that perfect insta moment, just the way we asians like it hahahaha

Thank you for hosting us to try your CNY menu 姑妈家 and team.
