Elegant Inn 3Rd Anniversary Advertisement - Sturgeon Fish Feast

The Chinese tin sniff out a skillful matter peculiarly exotic fish. First nosotros had the Soon Hock flooding restaurants, too hence came Empurau which was touted every bit the most expensive fish inwards town, instantly nosotros accept the latest craze inwards town...the sturgeon fish.
       It was past times fluke I ended upwards sampling this pre-historic fish every bit I was asked to teach for an impromptu dinner 1 night. "Sturgeon?" Isn't that the fish that produces caviar?"... I was hollo for when I got the invite. I acknowledge my curiosity was piqued.
       Turns out the ancient fish (it is claimed to accept lived during the dinosaur's time) may live endangered inwards Red People's Republic of China but a non bad grouping of fellas had decided to nurture them here. They had seen similar fish farms inwards Taiwan too they had brought inwards the fish too its technology scientific discipline every bit it needs real construct clean H2O to survive. The fish is too high inwards calcium, packed alongside antioxidants too obese acids too collagen rich since it has a cartilaginous skeleton. The fish was highly sought afterward inwards the olden days inwards Red People's Republic of China too reserved for the Emperor that earned its nickname wong yue, literally translated inwards Chinese every bit Emperor's Fish. It is too known every bit chum loong yue inwards Chinese.
         Luckily nosotros don't demand to live an Emperor to dine on this fish every bit it is instantly on offering at Elegant Inn for its tertiary anniversary promotion. The 8 course of pedagogy repast starts off alongside the sturgeon fillet cutting sashimi manner too 1 of the best ways I reckon to bask this fish. Orange hued slices of the fish is artistically draped over an H2O ice bowl to proceed it cool too brand y'all teach wow! The sashimi has a sweetness sense of savour alongside a slight seize alongside teeth to it, which I reckon is best eaten without dunking it inwards soy sauce.
        Nothing is wasted for this 3.8kg fish too the cartilaginous bones are deep fried till crisp alongside a lite batter coating. Diced garlic too pepper circular upwards the flavours for this dish. Unlike the park fish bones deep fried, these 1 are a piffling special since y'all tin sense of savour the obese bits inwards your oral cavity that melt away. Even the caput is chopped away too double boiled alongside herbs for soup. We didn't contend to seek the soup that nighttime but I tin imagine it'll live wonderful (a shine mouthfeel to each spoonful) since I've tasted shark os soup too the fish construction reminds me a piffling of the shark alongside its theatre flesh too rich collagen.
          The side past times side course of pedagogy is all almost contrasts - the deep fried compaction of the sturgeon tail paired alongside the velvet smoothness from the theatre sturgeon fillet. I'm e'er partial to the side bits of a fish (give me the fin too tail to compaction on too I'll live a happy camper) hence I actually enjoyed the deep fried sense of savour of the sturgeon tail alongside the ginger shreds. It's interesting to consume the rich flesh deep fried every bit it leaves an oily mouthfeel but different the Empurau fish, I felt the residue betwixt the flesh too the omega iii petroleum inside it to live much to a greater extent than balanced (the Empurau felt similar it was only petroleum only). The omega petroleum too seems to hand the fillet pieces a velvet-like sensation that contrasts alongside the crunchy asparagus too woods ear fungus. We had too compared the fish fillets alongside the fish belly slices, that was too stir fried (not available inwards the menu). The fish belly slices had a richer sense of savour since it had a piffling combat of the skin.
         Instead I preferred the fish belly cutting into chunks too braised inwards a claypot alongside ruddy dates, waterchesnuts, bamboo shoots, soy edible bean pare (fu pei), mushrooms too roast pork. Each seize alongside teeth is wonderful  with the rich collagen - yields a piffling inwards the showtime too crumbles on the natural language to a shine mouthfeel taste. For the feast, it's a pick betwixt the braised too the traditional steamed version. While Elegant Inn does a lovely steamed fish, I must acknowledge it felt a tad ordinary afterward sampling the fish inwards hence many to a greater extent than exciting ways. If you're choosing which 1 to consume the fish belly, my recommendation is teach for the braised version for a to a greater extent than odd taste.
         For the 8-course meal, there's 2 courses that are non sturgeon fish. Here y'all accept the initiatory of all one, a pick betwixt braised half-dozen caput South African abalone too bounding main cucumber or Japanese Kobe beef done inwards Elegant Inn's garlic manner (I've blogged almost this earlier inwards my beef post service too it is gorgeous!). The side past times side course of pedagogy is the concluding 1 earlier dessert - y'all teach twin claypots, 1 where the sturgeon petroleum is used to tike rice too the other which contains brownish rice porridge to add together the sturgeon fish slices. We didn't teach to sample the rice dish but the porridge version was wonderful alongside the sweetness sturgeon fish slices. I peculiarly liked the colour of the fish slices every bit y'all could distinctively encounter the golden hued obese glistening nether the skin. Bird nest tartlettes too double boiled hasma alongside royal dates circular upwards your wonderful feast.
          Definitely a peril of a lifetime to seek this fish. If fish is non your thing, in that place are other things on advertisement from xiii June to 10 July - RM3++ weekday tiffin specials, RM33++ twin delights for weekly dinner too fifty-fifty RM333++ lobster repast for iii persons.
