It was my boss belated birthday and also farewell lunch for him. So, we selected his ever favourite chinese restaurant i.e. Elegant Inn in Menara Hap Seng, Kuala Lumpur.Our reservation for two tables was made a day in advance. As soon as all of us seated down, food were promptly served in a smooth flowing manner.
Impressive Appetizers: combo of smoked duck meat (top)..moist & tender
fried squid with salt & pepper (centre)...crispy yet chewy
and crabmeat & salmon in a sweet & sourish sauce (spoons) ...simply refreshing & juicy
Fried Garoupa in Double Boiled Herbal Soupserved in a big claypot, the piping soup was infused with lots of chinese herbs (ginseng, dates & wolfberries) with fine texture of fish meat
8 Treasures Stuffed Chicken Wingssurprisingly the stuffing was good (combination of stir fried minced pork, mushrooms + diced chestnuts+ prawns with turmeric) and complement well with the juicy fried chicken wing
Stir Fried Black Pepper Beefeach cube of meat melts in the mouth...and I am addicted
Boiled Green Cauliflower with Crab Meat Sauceundeniable...crunchy & delicate greens in a pool of aromatic & fragrant crab meat sauce...best indulge with a dash of black vinegar!
Trio DessertsPancake with lotus paste.... skin was fluffy enough
Fried Nian Gao..
Sesame Ball with peanut stuffing...outlet layer made of glutinous rice flour was light & crispy
Total bill including (fried rice with crabmeat + 2 refillable hot pot of tea) came to almost RM2K.

2K? Two thousand ringgit for two tables???? One thousand each? And no sharks fins, no abalone,no lobster...none of the expensive stuff. No prawns even...and fish, garoupa only...nothing special. Mighty expensive, I must say... Btw, non-halal...how come no pork - roast piglet perhaps?
ReplyDeleteSTP: Can't blame you for being shocked with the exhorbitant price we paid. But it was the food quality and attentive service which my boss adored.
ReplyDeleteActually, I was quite disappointed cos' my senior did not order prawns and sea cucumber dishes which she usually do.
