Recently, we were invited to the Wine Pairing cooking during Celestial Court. we do not know because the little people conflict with such disbelief during the suspicion of chinese food with booze pairing. Why not? In fact, if anything, we suspicion it only healthy which chinese food be paired with splash of the little sort. Okay, Chinese flers are well known for putting ice in to beer, as well as red wine, etc... though of course, this was no such event. Dinner settled off with the little poetic hors d'ovres, plump har mai with prawns upon steroids, deep boiled seafood balls with fiery cheese in the centre, piping hot, as well as the drudge of the waiter, who kept repeating what they were everytime he came around portion us. Incidentally, by us, we meant Aly of Red FM as well as AlilFatMonkey. The Nomad Gourmand was tasked with removing an additional 2 food bloggers.
The pre-dinner Taylor's Savignon Blanc 2009, the crisp, light booze perfect for chinese food, as well as essentially remained my prime by the night.
Duck & Bamboo Shoots Salad, Crispy Roasted Duck, as well as Steamed Fish Cake With Spicy Coconut Cream, which is basically otak otak. we adore the crispy roasted duck. They additionally do the really nice Peking Duck here actually.
I privately favoured the Savignon Blanc, rsther than than the Chardonnay, as well as we would have been happy to span the Sav Blanc with all my successive dishes. Someone upon the table opined which more Malaysians should learn to splash red wines, due to its complexity bla bla bla. Well, I've been by my red booze proviso in life, as well as have concluded which for the calm Malaysian weather, zero similar to the icy cold savignon blanc.
Pan Fried Scallop & Crab Dumpling. The scallops were juicy, uninformed as well as plump, as well as cooked only right. The crab blimp was alright. Not unequivocally the air blower of boiled dumplings.
Cod Fish With Miso. The fish was texturally flawless, as well as the flavour of the fish itself was good, none of which coddy smell which we infrequently get. But the sauce didn't do most for me. we cite the drier ways of portion cod, similar to sugar glazed.
Braised Oxtail Consomme La Mian with Taylor's Pinot Noir. My prime dish of the night. A clear, rational broth, poetic la mian, as well as the fat wantan full of tasty oxtail. It redefines wantan mee! Such decadence.
Refreshing Passionfruit Sorbet to cleanse the palate. Now, we wouldn't have minded an additional dip of this. Lovely smooth jelly which has no hints of ice crystals.
One of the bloggers showing us how to get brain freeze.
Stewed Lamb Neck With Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf. A good approach to finish the meal. If any one was wonderin! g if the y'd be full after the initial 3 courses, this definitely capped it. Tender pieces of lamb, with flavorful gluey rice, most similar to the finish of the wedding dinner.
Dessert was rsther than unique. Essentially kueh koci, with teh tarik ice cream. The teh tarik ice cream lacked the intensity of the strong teh tarik, though had the nice texture.
This complete set costs RM188++, with booze pairing, which compared with its "western food" counterparts, is the STEAL!!!
Cindy of Sheraton really kindly issues us the nominal carpark.
