Shanghai Tang Spring/Summer Collection 2011 @ Celestial Court, Sheraton Regal Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

I confess that I'm a fleck of a fashion follower, peculiarly on what's novel together with hip on the catwalks. Not an active 1 who dresses upwards amongst the trends but to a greater extent than similar a closet watcher from afar since the monthly conduct maintain habitation pay won't buy even a thread of those swanky labels. Hence, I was thrilled to larn an invite for the unveiling of the Shanghai Tang's Spring/Summer 2011 collection. Topping off the neat fashion was a wonderful dim amount tea political party at Celestial Court, Sheraton Imperial Hotel.

             The Metamorphosis Collection is rich together with vibrant every bit it incorporates the Chinese ethnic Miao's patterns together with symbols. These are paired amongst diverse accessories similar jade necklaces, figure viii knot leather belts together with etc. Each spell is beautifully designed amongst the Miao prints together with butterfly symbols that are understated. One of the pieces (I didn't larn by to capture a rattling clear film of it) I loved was this richly embroidered Miao printed silk/cotton coat amongst details on the front and back. For to a greater extent than on the collection, see Shanghai Tang's boutique inwards Pavilion KL. More pictures are available inwards my Flickr set.

                While nosotros watched the models sashay but about us inwards the finery, nosotros indulged inwards Celestial Court's funky fusion dim sum. Fresh from a refurbishment together with revamp of their menu, each tiny morsel was beautifully crafted past times their dim amount chef Ken Liew. Since they are a pork gratuitous restaurant, the dim amount uses diverse ingredients like seafood, kimchi, foie gras inwards their offerings.

                 Our kickoff platter was a trio of dim amount - the ebony dark squid ink "har kao" filled amongst conpoy together with topped amongst salmon roe. Incredibly midpoint catching in jet dark amongst the contrast from the transculent cerise salmon roe, it holds a crunchy prawn amongst scallops. On the other side of the platter was the crispy cod fish together with scallop nest served amongst wasabi mayo - codfish together with scallop wrapped in kataifi pastry. Last but non to the lowest degree was my self-nicknamed treasure pouch which is genuinely a sharks fin bundle amongst braised body of body of water treasure broth. These items are available on the daily dim amount card but amongst variations. For instance, the sharks fin dumplings is served amongst abalone together with bamboo pith inwards the regular card for RM38, the "har kao" is available minus the squid ink for RM13 and the rolls also contain bananas inwards the regular card for RM15.

            I loved the lite flaky baked unagi pastry amongst teriyaki sauce together with sesame crust (RM16) together with the deep fried breaded shrimp, spinach ball amongst cheese (a special item non available inwards the menu) every bit it hid melted cheese, which nosotros had fun playing with. Even the potstickers (gyozas) were given an interesting twist amongst a kimchi together with minced center filling served amongst a light-green ginger dressing (RM11). Only the mutual frigidity Shanghai ramen amongst XO sauce topped amongst sliced roast duck paled inwards comparison. We goal our lovely repast amongst an midpoint catching dessert platter. Two cute Mandarin oranges were genuinely chocolate pralines together with the sesame ball hid pandan glue inside together with was served amongst Teochew yam glue (RM9). For a refreshing taste, the chilled herbal jelly amongst lemon together with lychee granita (RM12) striking the spot.

             Looking through their dim amount menu, I must acknowledge I'm excited every bit they conduct maintain then many interesting items similar the charcoal soft bun amongst salted egg yolk custard, golden puff amongst scallop together with preserved olive topped amongst mango salasa together with tobiko together with chilled avocado puree amongst walnut H2O ice cream. Definitely worth some other revisit I reckon.
