and followed by the Fruity Duet (Cranberry & Pineapple) 蔓莓凤梨

while the other 2 flavours that we tasted were the Fruits Nuts Mixture 伍仁果子, which is one of my favourites as there are big chunks of nuts and fruits that makes nibbling into it a delight.

and Jade Lotus Single Yolk 单黄翡翠莲蓉

For those that love to taste out, the other flavours can order from the Grand Harbour Restaurant at Fahrenheit 88 and Damen Mall.

For those wishing to taste the special Mid Autumn dishes by Chef Chan can relish on it starting with ala carte menu.

The first dish is the Braised Spare Ribs with Chestnut & Fried Onion 葱油栗子焖肥骨 (RM50.00+) which is braised using a secret sauce until an almost fork tender texture with its juices fully incorporated into the three-layer spare ribs. 

Then it is cooked with the chestnut to enhance the aroma and flavours which is evident on our first bite of this melt in mouth spare ribs, especially on the fatty layer.  The sauce is perfect with a bowl of white rice.

The second dish is the Steamed Chicken With Lotus Seed & Garlic In Lotus Leaf (RM120.00+) which Chef has meticulously prepared it with 2 step process which the first is to poached the chicken and then simmered the village chicken with a special salty broth to encapsulate into the chicken giving it a special light salty taste. 

The chicken is then cut into individual pieces and places on a lotus leaf and together with the lotus seed is sent to the steamer. The result is a distinct salty taste of the firm-tender chicken meat which has a broth that is again perfect with a bowl of steaming white rice.

For dessert, the Chef has also presented the special Red Dates Layer Cake (RM9.80+) which is served chilled.

You can also taste out the special Grand Harbour Restaurant Mid Autumn Festival 9 Course Set Menu at RM1,188+ 

which also feature some of the following dishes which is Braised Crab Meat Thick Soup With Assorted Dried Seafood and Crab Roe. This rich soup is full of dried seafood which includes fish maw, fish lips, dried scallop with pieces of water chestnut and lots of crab meat. A nice warm touch to open our palate for the dinner.

The next dish is the Wok Fried Giant Grouper Fillet in Hong Kong Fishing Village Style. Usually, crabs or prawns is used for this style of cooking but the Chef has used the Giant Grouper fillet for a change. This prized fish is normally best served using the steaming style as one can really taste the elastic texture of the fish. For a change, the fish fillet which was battered; is then deep fried and wok fried with garlic, dried chillies and black dace to give it a fiery taste to this dish.

This is then followed is the Poached Ming Prawn With Chinese Yellow Wine. The extra big size Ming Prawns are laid on to the special pot, It is then fired up and cooked in front of the customer while the broth of Chinese Yellow Wine is slowly poured into the pot. 

You can see the changes in the colour of the cooked prawns and this is best eaten as soon as it is cooked so that you can enjoy the taste to its fullest with the nice bouncy texture of the cooked prawns.

For the vegetable dish, we were served with the Braised Homemade Bean Curd With Fish Lips & Mushroom in Abalone Sauce. 

The fish lips are braised to a nice firm texture together with the thick shitake mushroom and the soft homemade bean curd which is then served with poached broccoli.

Our last dish before dessert is the Fried Rice with Eel and Black Pepper. Here again, the Chef invokes some sense of creativity into a simple dish. For fans of the Eel will find this a refreshing change. Other condiments include the use of sweet corn and mustard leaves to blend into the overall taste.

For this set, you will be served 2 type of mooncakes to end your dinner.

From 3rd August - 31st August 2018, The Oriental Group of Restaurants will be featuring a specially crafted China & Nanyang dishes by Chef Justin Hor (Group Executive Chef of The Oriental Group of Restaurant) and Chef James Ho (Corporate Executive Chef Ruyi Malaysia) at its Annual Chef Event.

Together, they have crafted a fine selection of dishes starting with tapas dishes to a superior soup, main courses and right up to dessert using top quality ingredients and condiments with the most demanding Chinese cooking style to satiate the exquisite taste of the diners.

As highlighted by Chef Justin Hor, chef of this modern era are very different from yesteryears; where each day they have to constantly challenge to innovate new dishes and sourcing for new ingredients to present diners with a unique tasting experience. The payoff is when he sees his customers enjoying his lip-smacking creation.

To enjoy these delicacies you can either order it as a special set menu (RM2,388 Nett Per Table of 10 pax) which has 6 individual tapas dishes or ala-carte menu which has the prices listed below and available at all outlet of Oriental Group Restaurant.

We had the pleasure to taste some of these masterpieces presented for this China Nanyang speciality dishes starting with the tapas dishes which is Pink Roses - Pickled Radish (RM28.00) per portion. The radish is coloured by the broth of the purple cabbage and artfully crafted to resemble the roses. With a sourish taste, it is indeed a palate cleanser to start off the dinner.



Next, we had the Spicy Garlic Sauce Pork Belly (RM28.00) per portion. This dish has a slightly spicy undertone and would have been perfect eaten with a bowl of rice.



Followed by the Hunan Wax Meat With Dried Long Beans (RM38.00) per portion. Hunan dishes are famed for its spiciness and here the Chef uses a special concoction of chillies to cook this dish. To get the crunchy texture of the long beans, it goes through a time-consuming process of boiling and air drying it before frying with the other condiments. The above 3 dishes are the crafted by Chef James Ho.



While Chef Justin Hor presented to us the Cod Fish Roll (RM28.00) per portion. The Cod Fish fillet is julienne and coated with a special batter for deep frying to a crispy deep brown and set on the dish like a stack of timber logs.



The second tapas dish of Chef Justin is the Jellyfish & Okra Wasabi Sesame Sauce (RM28.00) per portion. We like this dish as it has a combination of the different texture of the individual ingredient. The springy texture of the jellyfish, the nutty peanuts and the soft crunch of the okra; all marry well with the strong wasabi sesame sauce.



while the last tapas is the Zhenjiang Sweet & Sour Iberico Baby Pork Ribs (RM28.00) per portion.



The soup dish for this set is the Superior Shark's Fin Soup With Morel Mushroom (RM118.00) per pax. The broth was slow-boiled for 8 hours before double boiling it for another 3 hours to extract out all the natural flavours of the ingredient which includes Shark Fin's, Ham, Dried Scallop, Chicken and Conch Shell and Morel Mushroom from France. The result; the soup was naturally flavourful of its' taste of the essence of the ingredients that were used.



For the main dish, we were presented with the Roast Suckling Pig With Foie Gras Mousse (RM 328.00 per set). Normally in most Chinese Restaurant the best way for Suckling Pig is just by serving is as a  Roasted Suckling Pig, but here thru the combination of both Chef, they have crafted out an East Meet West masterpiece dish.



It uses the crackling skin of the roast suckling pig and sandwiched with the special Foie Gras Mousse with an in-house made cracker at the bottom. Again, this dish presents a nice bite texture with a smooth taste of the duck liver mousse which was cooked with Szechuan pepper and ginger to eliminate the liver gamey taste.



The Star of the night has to be the Salt Baked 3 Head Abalone, Truffle & Kombu (RM138.00) each.  The dish is presented in a burning salt mound which has been embedded with cinnamon sticks and star anise. Upon breaking of the mound, the treasure trove is revealed.

 The salt mound was used to ensure the flavours and aroma are encapsulated into the ingredient. The thick, meaty, firm and succulent abalone was cooked in a superior broth; is enriched with the essence of truffle oil and is served with a piece of Kombu and Broccoli Florets at the side.



For the fish dishes, Chef Justin presented the Deep Fried Yellow Corvina Fish Shanghainese Style  (RM38.00) each. The Corvina fish which is air-flown from Fujian, China has been deboned of its top fin to enable the deep frying (to a crispy, golden brown texture) process to penetrate the meat making it crisp on the outside and firm on the inside. According to Chef, this process is to retain the moisture, succulence and meat texture of the fish meat.



To fill those tummies which still has some room, the Chef introduces its Baked Rice With Cheese & Crispy Rice In Baby Pumpkin (RM28.00) per pax. The rice with seafood are first fried and then topped with cheddar and mozzarella cheese and send to the oven for baking. It is then topped with fried crispy rice before serving to its guest.



For dessert, we were served the Peanut Lava Carrot  (RM15.00 for 3 pcs) and Refreshing Rainbow Bird's Nest (RM28.00) per pax. The puff was made using natural carrot extract with a smooth crushed peanut filling. As for the Birds Nest dessert which is chilled, the Chef has added a twist of natural lemongrass taste with some freshly cut berries to give a refreshing end to our exceptional meal.
