| 70 seniors from old folk’s home get a taste of CNY delicacy Posted: 08 Jan 2013 04:50 AM PST Just last month, 84-year-old Chang Sek Kong, a labourer at Chin Woo Stadium, Kuala Lumpur was living on the streets. Now he has a roof over his head at The Father's Home in Damansara Perdana. His caretakers say that his mind wanders at times and his hearing is not that good; but the cheerful senior citizen flashed a smile and greeted the press enthusiastically. "I used to live at the junction of Jalan Sultan. Every year during the festival, I will celebrate it with friends," he said at the "A Heart-warming Solstice" luncheon organised by Dragon-i. They were also served Marble Glutinous Rice Balls. Fellow resident Stephanie Ng, 68, enjoys the ambience at the restaurant and celebrating the occasion with others from the home. "For some, celebrating the Winter Solstice Festival is more important than Chinese New Year. "Tang yuan (glutinous rice balls) is a must-have for the festival," she said. They were among the 70 elderly residents from The Father's Home invited by the Dragon-i group to enjoy the Prosperity Abalone Treasure Pot. From now till Feb 28, customers can enjoy the Prosperity Abalone Treasure Pot (dine-in or take away). It is contained in a high quality steel pot and is convenient to take away and easily reheated before serving. The pot, which can be enjoyed by six to eight people, weighs approximately 4kg and is cooked with 18 ingredients such as braised premium Chilean abalone, sea cucumber, Japanese dried scallops, Japanese dried oysters, premium mushrooms, Pantai Remis fresh sea prawns in a superior pork bone stock. Other ingredients are roast chicken, braised pork belly, golden money bags, pork balls, dried bean curd skin, yam, black moss, Chinese cabbage, broccoli, deep-fried bean curd skin and radish. The pot was co-designed by Dragon-i's chefs who hail from Shanghai and Hong Kong. It will also be available for take- away service before 3pm on Chinese New Year's Eve (Feb 9). For Hong Leong credit and debit card holders, it will be available at RM338++. For details, call the Dragon-i hotline at 03-7722 1888. |
