Dungeness Crabs @ Elegant Inn, Menara Grade Seng, Jalan P. Ramlee, Kuala Lumpur

Elegant Inn tends to endure ane of those steadfast places nosotros e'er teach for Chinese food.


This time, a tasting session of a few dishes they had introduced led to a real dainty discovery.... a novel breed of crabs aka Dungeness.


I've eaten it earlier inwards San Francisco but this particular crab comes from Europe.


Any genuine crab lover volition honey this newbie inwards the Malaysian market, equally when eaten cold, the meat is sugariness as well as chunky. Best bits is the creamy roe. Just add together a dash of dark vinegar as well as believe me you lot volition endure inwards crustacean heaven.





This yummy delicacy is priced from RM168 to RM238 per piece. Price tends to vary depending on the size of each crab received from the suppliers then double cheque prices as well as also availability of it earlier you lot caput here.


We also sampled the baked version which was practiced but equally special similar the supremely mutual frigidness variety.





Continuing on the crabby trend, nosotros also had these superb crab roe noodles.


It's based on a noodle dish I in ane lawsuit sampled inwards Macau, on the recommendation of J, the possessor of Elegant Inn.


This modest house located side past times side to the port that served these wonderful noodles had the distinction of beingness listed inwards Michelin's Macau guide. I've non blogged virtually my trip to Macau but these noodles were real memorable.


Even though you lot bring non tasted the original, this ane is almost equally practiced amongst its creamy golden roe topping sparse egg noodle strands that are bring a lovely al dente texture.




 


For those who experience the crab roe noodles are besides decadent, how virtually these crispy Chinese noodles braised amongst fish maw as well as bounding main cucumber. Part of a vi course of educational activity repast of RM118++ per person, I honey these noodles for its textural contrast - crunchy strands mingle amongst softened ones that bring touched the fragrant broth.


Adding to a greater extent than texture to the whole dish is julienne slices of fish maw, bounding main cucumber as well as Chinese chives (the pale version). A dash of aromatic dried prawn roe or har chee completes this wonderful dish.







We also sample steamed capon aka yim kai amongst a fragrant ginger glue but my favourite was the braised abalone served amongst bounding main cucumber stuffed amongst 8 treasures, as well as a braised Chinese mushroom.


The abalone comes from the Middle East (my outset fourth dimension eating this type) as well as has a soft centre. While its fragrance is a wee lacking, this was made upward amongst the aromatic 8 treasure stuffing underneath that soft collagen rich bounding main cucumber. Even the braised mushroom was good.


One would bring loved to abandon practiced manners as well as only licked upward all that yummy sauce.







Even vegetables gustation divine hither as well as I honey this habitation style cooking of eggplant amongst longbeans inwards their  aromatic sauce amongst chilli paste, dried scallops as well as dried shrimps. Love how the eggplant melts inwards the oral fissure amongst bursts of the dried shrimp flavor coming through. Best eaten amongst a bowl of hot rice.





Last but non least, a sample of their novel dessert, a nifty affair known equally almond milk tea amongst gummy rice ball. The tea is milky amongst hints of almond as well as in ane lawsuit you lot hit the bottom, at that topographic point is the surprise of a gummy rice ball filled amongst dark sesame paste. It is served amongst a sugariness osmanthus H2O chestnut stick. A twist on the classic dim total specialty, the H2O chestnut cake, this ane was ingeniously battered as well as fried thence you lot teach 2 textures - a crunchy batter on function past times as well as the almost jelly similar amongst a squelch from the H2O chestnut. This is business office of the RM118++ laid upward menu.


Note, at that topographic point are diverse laid upward menus available. There's a 4-6 someone laid upward bill of fare for RM338++ amongst broad choices for dishes. There is a RM118++ per someone laid upward as well as ane for RM88++ per person. Details are inwards the Flickr set.
