 Therra 2011

Tuscany Bolgheri wine is rarely used to pair with Cantonese food, yet this powerful wine works well on the menu! 

From the winemarkers' note, this wine has an intense ruby red color with purple highlights and black, persistent notes of coffee, cream, cocoa, licorice, jam berries, black cherry, vanilla and balsamic sensations.

 The crispy chicken was fried until perfection with a strong marination on the skin, I almost felt like I was eating peking duck instead. The caviar on top gave an complexity to the bite with extra seafood and fishy taste. The avocado acted not only a glueing agent, but it also balaced out the greasiness from the deep fried toast and the flavourful chicken oil.

 The first impression came from the very aromatic Matsutake mushroom on top. The extraordinary taste rushed through from the dish to our noses.

The firm crab cake was compacted with mostly crab meat and just a little bit of flour to bind it together. The cake had been browned on the outside, while soft and moist inside.

 The savoury crab taste compliemented nicely with just one elegant piece of white Matsutake mushroom. It was so delicious I almost didn't want to finish my last bite!

 Soup is a must in Cantonese dining culture as well as in my family. This boiled soup really reminded me of my mum's homecooking soup but this one is just way tastier, sorry mum! 


The super fresh and sweet papaya was a good match with the lightly salted soup and Bamboo fungus. I was trying to hard to scrape all the papaya out of the papaya shell! I felt like my skin has become smoother and "somewhere" has become bigger today!

 There were two layers of steamed egg with the top layer being mixed with beetroot to create that bright orange colour, while the bottom layer remained just steamed egg white.

 The truffle fragrant was really strong that the whole private room had been filled with the smell of black truffle. The steamed egg was really smooth and surprisingly a bit chewy like jelly. The groupa fish had a rather hardened firm texture and full of intense grassy fishy taste. The delicate piece of fish was even tastier when having it with the eggy mixture.

 It was my most intimidated dish of the night. The whole piece of quality fish maw was braised until completed softened in chef's surpreme stock.

 The fish maw was so extremely soft and gelatine-y. The light seafood surpreme stock had also been marinating the piece since fish maw didn't have a prominent taste on its own. The super collagen rich content was anyone's favourite.

 This dish reminded me of my very local dining experience in a wet market, but with a more elegant twist. The succulent beef brisket literally fell apart when it tore it apart. The outer layer was also deep fried with a very thin layer of crispy batter.

 By dipping it into the housemade satay sauce made from mixed capsicums, peanuts and other secret ingredients, this dish had become one of the most flavourful dishes of the night. You are going to love it if you are a beef lover!

 The only vegetarian dish on the menu and I couldn't be more excited! First of all, I picked up the puffy big goji berry on top, which was amazingly sweet with a tangy taste from the berry seeds, giving such a great first impression with this super food. 

Moving down to the layer bean curd, the layered sheets absorbed all the flavourful supreme soup, giving a mix mellow taste between stock, seafood and soya bean. 

The mustard green was braised until very soft with no bitterness at all, which should be even acceptable for those who doesn't like the bitter taste from mustard green.

 Lai Bun Fu signature fried rice

The all time staple fried rice is cooked with abalone sauce, lobster tail meat, diced abalone, young Chinese kale discs, and more. 

The rice was fried until just dry with each kernel of rice coated with flavourful sauce, along with a generous amount of seafood. It just had everything a good old fried rice should have. The elegant flavour was mouth watering and the portion size was just perfect to share with a table of friends.

 Sesame balls stuffed with green tea and bird's nest pasteSasame balls (煎堆) has been one of my favourited Chinese dim sum dessert to enjoy as a child. The puffy crispy ball was stuffed with a mixture of green tea and bird's nest. The green tea flavour was not overly sweetened, however, the taste from the sesame and dough wasn't quite combining with the Japanese green tea bittersweet tsate. Meanwhile, the taste of bird's nest was also very subtle especially when it was mixed with green tea.

 I have to mention that all dishes were served at good hot tempreture which I think is crucial for Cantonese dining experience. Besides, the service was considerate and speedy which kept our mood swinging at an efficient scrumptious dinner. I had an amazing dinner with some new friends in their private dining room and I wonder if our Chief Executive eats this well every single day?
