Experience Peranakan-Thai CNY Cuisine @ Whole Earth

What you will see what you step out from TP MRT Exit A - Whole Earth 

Happen to get to know about CNY Set Menu at Whole Earth. There are about 5 CNY sets but we tried the 6-course CNY Set Menu – Joy Set @ S$188+ (CNY Special Menu) .  Taking advantage of the early bird discount, we got a discount of 10% plus a complimentary dinning voucher.  

Is there any special Peranakan or Thai Cuisine for the Lunar New Year, I am not sure. Well it is good to have a mixture of Peranakan and Thai dishes in this CNY set menu and tried something different.

My little plate of tossed yusheng ... 

Prosperity Abalone Fruit Enzyme YuSheng
This is well presented and looks so much better then the photo that they have and the above photo.  Those few pea shoots on YuSheng look like fallen leaves lying on the ground, so natural and beautiful. There were many ingredients in this Yusheng, but I have no idea what there were and only know it tasted good.  Oops, I guess the rest of us just find this dish delicious and really have no idea that it was healthier (using Fruit Enzyme) than the normal Yusheng which used plum sauce and oil.  

 Our individual bowl of Pumpkin Sharksfin Soup 

Doubleboilded Golden Pumpkin Sharksfin Soup
LOVE it.  It was real delicious, special and my son kept asking for more. I regretted, I should not have brought my camera, busy snapping the photo and not enjoy it while it is piping hot. There were many different ingredients, yet balanced well and compliment with the rest of the ingredients.  Using pumpkin puree in the broth, make it looked like a pot of gold.


Nyonya Homemade Tofu Fish with Thai Dill Leaves
Appetizing and delectable! Something new to me – Thai Dill Leaves, guess I have to google to find out more about this. The sauce of just like right thickness, sweet, sourly with a bit spiciness pair well with the Tofu Fish and a bowl of steamed rice.


Monkeyhead Mushroom served on Asparagus
As usual, Monkeyhead Mushroom is our favourite. This dish was rather special as it used Angelica Root which is full of goodness and yet not overpowering. Asparagus is never my favourite but this dish was well done. The baby asparagus was fresh and not over cooked and soaking up the favour from the sauce nicely.  Therefore, we could finish something which wasn’t our favourite veggie.


Thai Vermicelli Tang Hoon
Some eateries would have a noodle dish but this set menu come with a Thai Dish. It sounds good and I was thinking about Phad Thai when I read the menu.  But this dish was different from my expectation and  was not to my liking at all. 

Homemade Lemongrass Jelly with Longan
For dessert, we have this soft wobbly jelly full of lemongrass flavour.  Maybe we are too use to having ice jelly when this dessert top with longan arrived, the first thing come to our mind was why there isn’t any liquid.  Sweet (it tastes like there was honey) and refreshing!


Thai Battered Oyster Mushroom @ S$15
This dish was not in the CNY set menu at. Whole Earth whips up this dish so well that my young nephew (non-vegetarian) after tasted once in here more than half a year ago, could still remember it and requested us to order while we were busy enjoying our meal.  He felt so satisfactory when he popped it into his mouth. That makes us feel happy too, at least our little fussy eater and who does not eat much, was eating some stuff. 

Lovely Quencher @ S$4.50+
Water Melon Juice with Brown Rice Jelly.

8 Treasure Herbal Tea @ S$4.50
We ordered Cold 8 Treasure Herbal Tea as previously we had a hot 8 Treasure Herbal Tea. It is like Herbal Tea but was rather too sweet to us.

Crispy seaweed chips from Whole Earth, how can we forget about it, we got some home before we go  …
