Bday dinner gathering for Grumpy. Convenient parking at building. Waited a long time for elevator. 4 private rooms. Think we got the biggest one, supposedly seating 17/18 but we had 15, which was just right. Here’s what we had.Rainbow Crackers as appetisers.堂灼鲍鱼- server blanched the slices of abalone in the pot of chicken soup (which had been pre-cooked for 5-6 hours) at the table. Warned to eat the slices whilst they were still hot. After being done with the abalone, server served up the soup,
4 private rooms. Think we got the biggest one, supposedly seating 17/18 but we had 15, which was just right.
Here’s what we had.
Rainbow Crackers as appetisers.
堂灼鲍鱼- server blanched the slices of abalone in the pot of chicken soup (which had been pre-cooked for 5-6 hours) at the table. Warned to eat the slices whilst they were still hot. After being done with the abalone, server served up the soup, which went very well with the accompanying bean sprouts.
泡沫日本带子- the foam had a garlicky taste to it; went well with the pan-fried scallop and cream sauce.
芝士龙虾多士- first time trying lobster on toast, which was quite yummy: toast was crispy; Lobster tasted fresh and buttery.
口水西瓜虾- compliments from the chef. I didn’t eat spicy but everyone thought the watermelon paired very well with the spicy sauce.
黑松露海虾
金汤千丝- being shreds of celtuce (莴笋) in pumpkin soup.
手刴肉饼笼仔蒸蟹饭- a very theatrical display; everyone was amazed at the size of the steamer necessary to make such a gigantic piece of minced pork.
龙王干坤鱼, upgraded to 老虎斑; half steamed on a bed of bean curd etc and half deep fried.
秘制炸乳鸽: babies.
火山排骨: essentially piled stewed ribs served with Thai-style sweet and sour chili sauce. Felt like we were eating 汤渣. Not a fan.
特色面- dome shaped deep fried noodles with seafood. Given a “hammer” to break open the prices. Texture was great: very crispy. Tasted really good with the chicken broth on the side.
杨枝甘露- served inside 煎堆shells
拔丝士多啤梨- hilight of the night; everyone helped themselves to the sugary strands; didn’t even wanna wait for server to fork up the strawberries individually for us.
In summary: a theatrical treat. Amused by the ginormous plating, artistic displays and creative flavors combinations.
