meet hairy...from Shanghai's Tai Lake
It is actually weird but I've non blogged well-nigh this wonderful identify till now....took me long plenty equally I realised my showtime see to this identify was merely about Dec 2008 (almost 2 years ago!). I telephone weep upwards it the triple due south - subconscious selfishness syndrome.
decadent creamy roe - merely what the doc ordered
The nutrient at Elegant Inn ever impresses me together with judging from other rave reviews, I'm non the only one. It's non merely all well-nigh the sense of savour but the passion behind it all. Throughout the years, Jeannette from Elegant Inn has larn a practiced friend together with the individual I oftentimes accomplish out to demystify the heed boggling nuances of Chinese cuisine. She's really much involved inward the eatery alongside a passion together with zest that most restauranteurs don't look to possess fifty-fifty an ounce. That passion drives her to emphasise on the best ingredients - fragrant Bentong ginger together with tofu puffs - handpicked dried seafood from Hong Kong - artisan soy sauce from Hong Kong together with the listing continues. She's also non afraid to experiment peculiarly since her palate has led her to many dandy restaurants, thus inward 1 dish, at that spot could be sous vide methods together with fifty-fifty balsamic vinegar!
twin delight platter alongside smoky prawn cake together with crunchy nachos
Back to the nutrient and let us focus on their seasonal offerings that is available for these few weeks aka the Shanghainese Hairy Crabs - crustaceans that volition give a hairy gorilla a run for their money. I'm a huge crab fan hence a yearly pilgrimage to the crab shrine to pay tribute to these sweetness crustaceans alongside their luscious golden roe is a must. Simply decadent together with artery clogging but luckily it was merely what the doc ordered since he was also partaking inward the same delicacy equally I was. Less of the guilt constituent I reckon since it came medically approved!
tomato chicken drizzled alongside balsamic vinegar
This year, Elegant Inn is promoting their six-course Hairy Crab ready at RM118++ per individual available inward the side past times side ii weeks earlier the flavour ends. There is loads to business the stomach prior to the star of the present arriving. Nibble on the twin delight platter, artfully presented alongside a noodle handbasket that nestles the smoky prawn together with lotus root cake. Don't immature adult woman out the crunchy together with actually addictive nachos on the side. Next is the hearty shark's cartilage chicken soup alongside shark's fin together with bamboo pith.
crunchy steamed scallop dumpling
Then (drumroll please) comes the human of the 2nd aka the hairy crab which should last slow savoured slice past times piece one. Once you lot quaff downward the ginger tea to alleviate your heatiness, you lot tin motion onto some salubrious greens alongside a dash of Japanese oyster sauce. Next is the carbs inward the course of written report of a braised rice alongside fish together with pearl clam inward abalone sauce dishes beautifully presented inward an abalone shell. Round upwards your repast alongside dessert - crunchy nutty sesame ball alongside boiled ginger soup alongside white fungus together with reddish dates. There's fifty-fifty fruits on the side to brand the whole ready means healthier than it sounds.
Dim amount selection: prawn toast, Shanghainese dumpling, steamed custard cake
You don't larn bored eating hither since there's wonderful dim amount to deport on your midpoint for luncheon time. They boast well-nigh 44 varieties - steamed, baked, deep fried, snacks, special items together with desserts. My favourite is the innovative crispy vegetarian rice scroll - their version of the Hong Kong char leong. Instead of the fried dough cruller wrapped inward the rice roll, the version uses a crunchy deep fried Vietnamese netting that hugs together shredded vegetables. There's a long listing of other must-haves from fluffy char siu buns, homemade sense of savour fish balls, fluffy egg tartlets, steamed scallop dumplings together with etc. Those alongside a penchant for sweets volition also honey the pillow soft steamed custard cake, the refreshingly icy longan body of body of water coconut, dark sesame together with gummy rice ball inward boiling hot ginger soup (a personal fav).
Japanese pumpkin dessert alongside greenish beans
On some other occasion, nosotros social club the chicken alongside prawn glue - an former schoolhouse dish given a novel fangled twist. Similar to 1 eaten inward Sek Yuen (theirs is fish paste), this is the deluxe version alongside bouncy prawns handchopped into a glue that is adhered to crispy roast chicken skin. I peculiarly honey the side bits - tomatoes topped alongside the shredded chicken drizzled alongside reduced balsamic vinegar. Another novel dessert nosotros sample is the Japanese pumpkin tong sui alongside greenish beans - refreshing together with non cloyingly sweetness to terminate some other supremely satisfying repast here. Next repast hither I reckon must last their must-have aka the seasonal lap mei fan (waxed meats rice) that is in all probability the best rendition of the Chinese New Year's Day dish inward town.
