Once upon a time, beverages during Chinese dinners meant only chinese tea/beers. Sarsi/Orange would be a default for a underaged. And as cooking progressed, bottles of Stout may appear. Next to follow were expected to be brandy or whisky.
The scenario is certainly different now. Most Chinese restaurants right away serves booze with their dishes; or during a very least, there have been booze options accessible in their menu. Fruit juices & Coke transposed Sarsi & orange.
Celestial Court during Sheraton Imperial is one of a grand old lady of Cantonese fine dining restaurants in KL. we have listened tales of how great it was final time & til now, Im still conference a same positive reviews from these 30- 40 y/old friends who had dined there back then.
A recommended feat indeed, to have stood opposite a test of time & additionally a proliferation of millions of (Ok, Im exaggerating here) Chinese restaurants in town.
This doesnt meant Celestial Court is lazy upon a laurels.
Recently, in gripping with a trends & final of a flourishing set of sophisticated diners in KL; Celestial Court right away offers booze pairing with a highly- praised Cantonese cuisine.
I attended a recent cooking during Celestial Court, where reward Taylors Wines from a Clare Valley in a heart of South Australia was selected to element a 6 march Chinese dinner.

The Pre Dinner Sauvignon Blanc started a night upon a right note. Almost fruity, it was sweeter than many wines we have drank prior to & it remained my favourite via a night .
Next was a Taylors Chardonnay.This leant more upon a fruity side, as well as it done clarity to have interconnected it with a ethereal Cod. we adore a rather sharp jus which accompanied a flaky uninformed Cod.
Same booze was interconnected with a Pan Fried Scallop & Crab Dumpling with Stuffed Bitter Melon, a plate of which failed to have most of an sense upon me.
Given a choice, we would probably be happy which night with only a La Mian as well as MANY bags of a Braised Oxtail wantons!
Such well tender, flavourful meat encased in skinny skins, swimming in a many transparent though herbalicious Consomm. Give me more please! 
I find a Pinot Noir oaky ( a woody-ness taste) & of a pretty clever acidic body. From a booze noob indicate of view, it might essentially repress a ethereal Consomm with a clever body. Anyhow, we never thought it was ! a great idea to span booze with soups, generally a transparent types.
A discerning flicker over of a face contorting sour sherbet did a pursuit of getting my palate cleanse as well as we waited eagerly for a most anticipated Hakka Style Slow Cooked Lamb Neck with Sticky Rice Wrapped in Lotus Leaf.
I found this plate to be a pleasing surprise; as a rice was not as sticky as a ones normally served during 8 march dinners. This chronicle was rather lighter in hardness & not as oily too. The lamb was a tad as well gamey for me though a tenderness won me over.
St Andrews is a flagship operation of ultra reward wines from Taylors. This march was matched with a St. Andrew Carbenet Sauvignon 2005, a powerful, middle to full-bodied cabernet with a savoury worldly notes.
Any food blogger would be curious to review Kuih Koci with Teh Tarik Ice Cream upon a menu. My initial experience with Teh Tarik ice cream was during The Last Pollka & we have been hooked ever since.
But here during Celestial Court, it came served with kuih koci!
A truly beguiling combo was having a bite of a chewy dirty coconut kuih koci together with a creamy tea ice cream in one spoonful. A great dessert always finishes off a meal right.
Celestial Court serves low sum, a-la grant & set menus for lunch daily from 12pm till 2.30pm upon Mon- Sat. we think we should be heading there soon for a little low total loving, generally since they got a dedicated low total Chef! we have my hopes tall for a little great low total in KL now.
For a delicious cooking l! ike mine , Celestial Court opens for cooking from 6.30pm till 10.30pm, 7 days a week.
