Preserved Chinese MustardSometimes, writing about food which is so devastatingly artistic as well as beautifully suspicion out as well as breathtakingly innovative demands superlatives. When difference fail, it is exasperating since we could never communicate a artistic wish of a stimulation of senses a food offers.
Oven Baked CalamariTake for instance, a common calamari. Not any Calamari, a mutant feet prolonged ones perfectly Oven Baked until it is crunchy as well as somewhat charred outward nonetheless as proposal as fish upon a inside. Stuffed with corrupted roe as well as intriguingly rich, somewhat bitter nonetheless delicately uni, a combination was so ethereal which it has dampened my appreciation of a normal grilled Calamari forever. Such is a cost of perfection, generally when a richness was tempered down with a tanginess from a crowd of lemon as well as a sour as well as tart chili formed dip. Breathtaking.
The Filling of Roe as well as Uni (Sea Urchin)Stepping in to Gu Yue Tien from a busy as well as traffic clogged streets itself is therapeutic. An oasis of ease an sanity greets we as we stand up a stairs in to a categorical dining area which is decorated in Neo-Chinese style. It is not sincerely fancy or ostentatious, but functional as well as clean, with 6 in isolation dining rooms upon both sides of a restaurant.
Bacon SaladWe had ordered lunch "O! makasen" style, as well as left a boredom of deciding what to sequence to a chef. The first plate did not stir me during all. It was Bacon salad, served with red as well as green corals with Thousand Island dressing. Although a Salad was unblemished as well as their beautiful bacon smoked in-house was beautifully balanced in flavour as well as texture, it did not daunt my palate.
Clams as well as Apple SaladBy a time a second course arrived, we was ready to eat my words. The Giant Clam as well as Apple Salad was a creation of pristine genius. It was a melange of flavours, sweet, sour as well as salty with a little spiciness from chili. Not usually that, a flavour of a chewy clams were brought alive by apples which were crunchy in contrast.
Fish Cake with Cheese StuffingEven a solid aged fish baked sweat bread was since a brand new lease of life. It was playfully filled with a little melted Cheddar Cheese. we would never have suspicion which Cheese as well as Chinese food could have such a happy union.
Wok Fried Beef with Mushroom Reduction as well as TempuraThe Pan Fried Beef served with Mushroom Reduction, served with Wasabi Sauce as well as Tempura Spinach was a revelation of a Chef's capability to compound Western, Chinese as well as Japanese cuisine. The beef was delightfully proposal as well as a perfectly fried Spinach complemented a plate very well.
Close up of a Spinach TempuraI hav e often suspicion of Chinese Food as being rsther than stodgy as well as conventional, but Chef Frankie has since Chinese Cuisine a opposite revelation, bringing with it a little unequivocally brand new as well as sparkling flavours as well as as well as Western inspired plating.
Braised Pork KnuckleI am not a fan of Pork, as well as will give up from commenting upon a next dish, which was Braised Pork Knuckle with Preserved Vegetables (Mooi Choi) as well as Pumpkin Puree.
Mooncakes for DessertThat was one of a many engaging Chinese Meals we have had this year. In fact, we am expecting a return to try out a rest of their menu after my break, as well as will keep we posted.
