Chinese Novel Yr 2012 @ Gu Yue Tien, Chulan Square, Kuala Lumpur

When it comes to innovative as well as dandy tasting food, Gu Yu Tien trumps everyone inwards the market.


This year, their Chinese New Year's Day offerings is a residue of sometime favourites (as many of their clientele can't create without) as well as something to summon the dragon, their Dragon Fish Yee Sang (RM98++ for 10 persons).


While Gu Yu Tien all the same hold their good for yous outlook for their yearly offering of the prosperity yee sang (green coral lettuce, golden raisins, pears, pomelo sacs, salmon sashimi, sesame seeds, strawberry sauce as well as crunchy "pok chui" crackers), this twelvemonth sees the add-on of these dragon similar fishes. These abrupt toothed body of body of water fishes add together a prissy crunchy sense of savor to the whole festivities.


Toss them approximately as well as they hold back similar dragons flight inwards the sky, an auspicious means to usher inwards the novel lunar year.





Nowadays amongst the outcry of cruelty to sharks, restaurants are proverb no to the Chinese delicacy.


Gu Yue Tien tries to residue betwixt the sometime as well as the new, offering the 2 varieties, 1 amongst as well as without.


However, a sense of savor of this sumptuous thick seafood broth filled amongst crab roe, crab meat, prawn, scallop, squid as well as tofu cubes volition brand anyone happy (including those sometime folks) that they won't nag when they  don't encounter those forbidden fins.





A must-have when yous dine hither is the superb tabular array salt baked Castilian Iberico spare ribs.


It is as well as so finger licking proficient that yous won't heed getting your hands dingy to swallow every minor morsel of the delicious meat.





I create dearest my Hunan nutrient thus I was a piffling surprised to encounter Chef Frankie unveil these spicy dishes.


I've ever pegged him equally a Cantonese guy precisely he showed today his breadth of skills (seems he is also good versed amongst Shanghainese as well as Szechuan dishes).


Rather than whatsoever sometime steamed fish, he marries the Western favourite aka the halibut fish amongst a spicy chillies as well as garlic topping.


The fish flesh is perfectly steamed until it becomes a creamy texture amongst its omega rich stone oil content. The  not overly spicy precisely good balanced chopped ruby chillies as well as garlic complement the whole dish as well as so good that yous cease upwardly lapping every delicious bit.


I've ever loved the steamed fish hither as well as for those who prefer to a greater extent than fragile flavours, yous tin give the sack opt instead for their steamed australia jade perch fish amongst low-cal soy sauce. Another omega stone oil rich fish, the flesh is silky polish particularly when dipped inwards their aromatic precisely non overpowering sauce.





While Chef Frankie is opened upwardly to all types of Chinese food, he prefers to proceed his Szechuan dishes to a lower spice grade for it to let out its many layers of flavours.


For instance, he ingeniously pairs the classic Szechuan Ma Po Tofu (named after this pockmarked lady, claims the legend) amongst these silky polish noodles. The flavours inwards this dish is incredibly controlled for yous alternative upwardly its subtle nuances - the edible bean glue used inwards the sauce, each niblet of the minced meat, the silky tofu cubes as well as the chopped chillies. The slight spicy sense of savor is rather appetizing also that seems to warrant seconds fifty-fifty though yous are total to the brim.





From the fieriness, nosotros cool downwards amongst the aromatic Chinese almonds cream. Boasting a rigid flavour of the Chinese almonds (which are inwards truth apricot kernels), this was lusciously smooth. Chopped fruits add together a textural contrast spell the scoop of vanilla H2O ice cream gives it a creamy cool edge.


 


Specially for the festive flavour as well as a must to proceed those reporting Kitchen Gods abay from spreading nasty rumours nigh you, is the traditional nian gao.


Usually pan fried, Gu Yue Tien also does the steamed version that gives it a soft melt inwards the oral fissure texture that is seasoned amongst tabular array salt as well as rolled inwards fresh kokosnoot shreds. A much healthier as well as odd version compared to the pan fried one. While most of the Chinese New Year's Day sets they convey characteristic the pan fried nian gao, yous tin give the sack asking for this healthier version if yous like.
