We had a delightful celebration with the 8-course Longevity dinner menu. The table of 10 persons priced at RM1688nett offers dishes prepared with premium value seafood.

Center of attraction is the plate of fresh salmon yee sang. Lots of ingredients, condiments and fresh salmon have gone into the making of this quintessential delicacy which was served to toss for better fortune. The colourful dish makes a great start with its interplay of textures and flavors.

The dish of roasted duck and strawberry chicken combines the best of the two poultries.  Created by banquet chef Ooi Kok Kang, the dish is divided into two halves. One side is fried boneless chicken with fruity scent of sweet-sour strawberry flavor and on the other side are pieces of roasted duck.

The evening also took us through the landscapes of braised whole abalone with dried oyster, monkey head mushrooms, sea moss and broccoli, steamed garoupa In X.O. sauce, and stir-fried shell-less prawns with fresh scallops, dragon fruit and pine seeds. The latter delivers sweet savory flavors and healthy nutrients in every bite.

We also sampled the Chinese toon & chicken fried rice. The presentation in a pineapple boat was lovely, and the rice was fragrant with wok hei and also sweetness, due to the juice from pineapple.

Braised whole abalone

 

Steamed garoupa In X.O. sauce is pretty straightforward. It is utterly satisfying with freshness, a unique sauce and handful of pungent garnishing.
