Iberico Ribs
Sigh, it's been so long since I blogged that I reckon I accept forgotten how to already. Here's my displace inward getting dorsum into the groove in addition to clearing that mount of spider web log posts.
It is non similar I don't swallow out close every twenty-four threescore minutes catamenia but honestly, it's getting harder in addition to harder to observe actually expert places to eat.
Instead, nosotros gravitate towards former places nosotros are familiar alongside such equally Gu Yue Tien where dishes are ever tip-top. It is heartening to consider Places & Foods chose this house for his selection for this year's Time Out KL's awards (vote for it alongside this link). Hopefully it picks an honour equally the nutrient hither is ever innovative in addition to darn good, every see I've been.
foie gras mousse on toast
My friend CS had rounded us upwards for a dinner here. She had sampled the laid dinner they had introduced to celebrate their 8th anniversary that is priced at RM880++ for 8-10 persons. Her raves got our tongues drooling thence nosotros gathered hither 1 rainy Sabbatum night.
We didn't come across the quota for 8 persons, thence in that location was an extra portion, but that was easily eaten up.
wok-fried whitebait alongside salted egg yolk
The repast kicks off alongside an assortment of appetizers, ranging from the exciting to the irksome ones similar deep-fried prawn dumpling in addition to century eggs topped alongside a land of pickled ginger.
All of us had our ain favourites. I immensely enjoyed the crispy whitebait. Each fish was deep-fried to a golden crunchy texture that was coated alongside the immensely umami-tasting salted egg yolk. Curry leaves in addition to chopped chillies gave it a slight fiery hit. I reckon if I could accept eaten it all upwards past times myself.
cucumber topped alongside chicken floss
The cucumber cups alongside chicken floss was uncomplicated but tasty. I specially liked the crunchy texture of the Japanese cucumbers combined creamy mayonnaise alongside the savoury gustation of the chicken floss. Kinda reminds me of those addictive floss buns I must ever swallow at Bread Talk.
The foie gras mousse on the deep-fried toasts were yummy also in addition to topped alongside a piquant diced mango pickle to residual out its richness.
jellyfish alongside mutual coldness chicken on cucumber
The jellyfish appetizer alongside the mutual coldness chicken topped alongside the tangy chilli sauce was an fantabulous agency to kicking upwards our appetites for the primary meal.
sliced pork cervix alongside cucumber
A crowd favourite was the pork cervix slices wrapped closed to crunchy cucumber slivers. What made it yummy was the hot edible bean sauce that topped it.
crabmeat balls
An former schoolhouse appetizer was the crabmeat balls alongside a crunchy beancurd pare exterior. In the olden days, it would accept been made from the pig's caul (fine net-like) but nowadays, it has been abandoned for the healthier beancurd skin. These delectable morsels are stuffed alongside fresh crabmeat, crunchy H2O chestnuts, celery in addition to carrot alongside a calorie-free touching of five-spice powder.
braised seafood soup alongside crab roe
Since it was a rather mutual coldness rainy night, the slightly thick but aromatic soup hitting the correct spot. There were chopped upwards seafood in addition to tofu cubes equally nosotros dug into our bowls.
wok fried freshwater prawn alongside spicy sauce
I actually enjoyed the side past times side dish, the prawn that came alongside this slurpworthy sauce. It was piquant in addition to slightly spicy, alongside a thick texture. One could imagine a crab beingness cooked inward this sauce that would accept us licking all our fingers. This came alongside toast for us to dip in addition to sweep upwards the sauce equally daintily equally possible.
The meat detail was a selection between, the wok charred lamb rack or iberico pork ribs. I've ever loved those ribs in addition to it was delicious in addition to so expert that 1 did non hear messing upwards our fingers equally nosotros ate each long rib alongside our fingers.
hunan fish
Then came the steamed fish topped alongside a generous sprinkle of chopped chillies in addition to garlic, cooked Hunan style. This was yummy equally the smoothen fish flesh goes good alongside the tangy (but strangely plenty non spicy) chilli in addition to garlic mix. It is served alongside blanched beehoon noodles, that soaks upwards the soy sauce, garlic in addition to chilli topping so well.
Last but non least, nosotros halt alongside a refreshing dessert of chilled body of body of water kokosnoot alongside longan in addition to snowfall fungus. There's a land of lime underneath the drinking glass that adds a tangy gustation to the non overly sweetness dessert. Thumbs upwards to my friend CS for the dandy recommendation in addition to Frankie Woo of Gu Yue Tien for non dissapointing our fussy palates.
