MACAU, Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- When the sunlight is getting warmer and the cold wind turning breeze, we know that the winter is bidding us adieu. Jade Garden at the StarWorld Hotel and Casino (StarWorld Macau), which features innovated and top-notch Shanghainese food, is offering a series of nourishing dishes in early spring. This time round, Executive Chef Simon Lui integrates Shanghainese relish with the culinary principles of Cantonese cooking, which takes very seriously the nutrition contained in the food.
The chef has handpicked a rich assortment of traditional Chinese tonic ingredients. Meticulously cooked, the delicacies provide a refreshing and restorative effect to the body inside out, and radiant wellness to our guests.
More than 20 nourishing dishes are served up at the Jade Garden, starting from now until March 15, 2012. Our chef has four special recommendations.
<1> Fish Maw with Cordyceps in Thick Soup
The precious cordyceps are of great help to tonify the liver and kidney, while strengthening the body's defense against disease. It is considered a tonic to replenish the "Yin" element of the body and help clear up the coldness. The fish maw is rich in collagen and protein, which are most effective to put a glow on the skin, hence the top choice for the ladies. Both ingredients are mild in nature, therefore the dish is suitable option for all to maintain physical balance.

Shark lips are rich in Omega-3 fatty acid, which is known to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. The precious ingredient can also give a refreshing boost to the brain, fortify the defense against diseases and maintain health and wellness of the eyes. Both pig trotters and shark lips contain rich collagen, offering food for the skin and improving complexion. According to Chef Lui, it takes four hours to stew the trotters to make it soft and succulent, and that the rich flavor fully absorbed. With two major ingredients coupled together, the dish is tender, delicate and pleasingly palatable.
