Man Fu Yuan (满福苑) Presents Refreshed Set Menus and A La Carte Selection with Emphasis on the Aroma (香气) of Traditional Cantonese Cuisine

Man Fu Yuan at Intercontinental Hotel Singapore, renowned for its Cantonese cuisine, recently unveiled its revitalised à la carte and set menus, seeking to blend traditional flavours with modern sophistication. Executive Chinese Chef Aaron Tan and his team have meticulously crafted these menus, combining premium ingredients with precise preparation and refined presentation.

Origially from Perak, Malaysia, Chef Aaron brings 30 years of culinary experience, specialising in Cantonese cuisine. His refreshed menu showcases Man Fu Yuan’s cherished Cantonese flavours, enhanced with new, thoughtfully crafted creations. The dishes emphasise key elements of Cantonese cuisine, particularly the aroma (香气), which plays a crucial role in the overall sensory dining experience. While experimenting with the new through modern interpretations of classic Cantonese dishes, Chef Aaron made sure to preserve the natural essence through the mastery of traditional cooking techniques like steaming, stir-frying and roasting.
