SUMMER PALACE RESTAURANT Moon Cake 2018 & Dim Sum Set Lunch Menu @ Marriott Putrajaya Hotel

 Moon Cake 2018 & Dim Sum Set Lunch Menu @ SUMMER PALACE RESTAURANT Marriott Putrajaya Hotel

During our Staycation recently at Marriott Putrajaya Hotel, we had our lunch at the Summer Palace Restaurant which has a special Dim Sum Set Lunch Menu at RM88.00 per person. We decided to try this crafted lunch menu set by Chef Dixon Lai.

The Dim Sum Set Lunch Menu started with a Deep Fried Salmon Fish Skin With Salted Egg Yolk. The Salmon Fish skin is fried to a crunchy crisp with a well smothered salted egg yolk into every inch of the crispy fish skin, we just can't stop taking one piece after another.



The second starter is a cold starter which is the Marinated Japanese Cucumber With Minced Garlic. The chef has added a special peppercorn that has a tongue-numbing sensation after we bite into it. The Zucchini has a nice crunch bite while the black fungus slippery texture makes them ideal complimentary ingredients.

Next on the menu is the Braised Hot & Sour Szechuan Soup With Prawn Dumpling. Being a Szechuan dish, you can expect a nice sourish spicy taste to this soup. The prawn dumpling was simply marvellous as each bite into the prawn filling which was sandwich into the dumpling skin was superb. It is indeed a nice change instead of the familiar Wanton soup based.



The next dish came in a bamboo basket which is a Dim Sum Combination of four exquisite Dim Sum dishes. In it, you can see what look like a goldfish Dim Sum which essentially is the Steamed Seafood Dumpling With Japanese Dumpling while the other one is the Steamed Squid Ink Prawns Dumpling with Black Truffle Oil.

The next Dim Sum is the Deep Fried Chicken Siew Mai With Teppanyaki Sauce and Fish Roe

and the last Dim Sum dish is the Deep Fried Crispy Beancurd Roll With Prawns & Cheese

This is the followed by Summer Palace speciality vegetable dish which is Stir Fried Hong Kong Kai Lan in Two Different Style 



And finally, the dish that will fill your tummy is the Wok Fried Flat Noodles & Crispy Flat Noodles With Seafood & Egg Sauce.  Conventionally this Cantonese Yin Yeong is using the Fried Vermicelli but Chef Dixon uses the Flat Noodles which is the crispy portion of this dish. It is something out of the norm but it does taste nice.



For Dessert, we had the Baked Lemon Cheese Tarts to end our meal.



In conjunction with the Mid -Autumn 2018 festival; Marriott Putrajaya Hotel Summer Palace Chinese Restaurant has crafted out a few mooncake flavours to entice its customers.

My most favourite is of course the Snow Skin Durian Mooncake which I love to eat.

Next is the Baked Mooncake With Single Yolk Salted Bean Paste & Jade Pandan



Followed by the Charcoal Snow Skin Coffee With Butter Milk Paste



while the more conventional folks like me will prefer this back to the basic flavour which is the Baked Mooncake With White Lotus Paste & Single Yolk.

and finally the most special of all is the Summer Palace Golden Bean With Black Sesame In Gold Dust Moon Cake. This glittering mooncake is topped with a layer of Gold Dust to provide to you that wealthy feel when eating this special mooncake. This mooncake is an ideal option as a gift to your special customer that makes them feel special.

Modern Cantonese Cuisine New Menu at Summer Palace Chinese Restaurant Marriott Putrajaya Hotel

Modern Cantonese Cuisine - A Healthy Fusion Twist New Menu at Summer Palace Chinese Restaurant Putrajaya Marriott Hotel 

Summer Palace Chinese Restaurant at Marriott Putrajaya Hotel famed for its fine Cantonese Cuisine has recently undergone a revamp of the restaurant. With the new renovation; it offers diners with a more luxurious dining ambience.

With the new appointment of Chef Dixon Lau as the new Executive Chinese Chef; he has crafted out a number of modern Cantonese dishes that has a twist to serve its discerning guest with an exquisite  Chinese Fine Dining experience. Chef Dixon has many years of experience from famous Chinese Restaurant which include Chynna Chinese Restaurant at Kuala Lumpur Hilton, Yuk So Hin Restaurant at Weil Hotel, Ipoh and more.

For him, from the many years of experience thru the tutelage of Master Chinese Chef; he has mastered the art of using natural ingredient and condiments which exudes its natural umami to enhance the flavour and taste of the dishes without the used of artificial food enhancer.

Among his new signature dishes that are presented to us is the starter dish which is Braised Bird's Nest on Steamed Eggs White. This dish reminiscent of a Lotus Pond with the full blossom. The bird's nest is laid on top of a smooth soft steamed spinach flavoured egg white together with scraped truffle that lines the sides. The combination of the light flavour of the egg white paired with the spongy texture of the bird's nest with the truffle taste was awesome. 

The next dish is the Smoked Beef Cheek With Lychee Wood and Pur-Er Tea. According to Chef Dixon, there is plenty of time and effort required to prepare this simple looking dish. The Australian chilled beef cheek is first braised with a number of Chinese spices and herbs under low temperature for more than 2 hours. Then it is smoked for 1.5 hours in a mixed combination of Lychee Wood and Pur-Er tea to infused this flavour into the braised beef cheek. The end result is a melt in the mouth, succulent moist beef texture that has a strong pleasant aroma of the smokey flavour in every bite. It is bedded with baked pumpkin and topped with fried julienne carrot together with poached asparagus to add colours and texture dimension to this dish.

This is then followed by the Baked Of Cod Fish With Organic Black Garlic Cream. Normally at the Chinese restaurant; Cod Fish is usually served by the steam cooking style which gives a nice texture to the flaky cod fish but Chef Dixon has chosen to infused a western style which is baking the Cod Fish. 

Black Garlic From Japan

The Cod Fish is sandwiched in a layer of black garlic cream with turkey ham and mushroom. We can taste the firm flaky moist texture of the codfish while the black garlic dressing with a sweet tangy taste was a nice finish that marries well with the natural taste of the fish.

The last dish we had; was the Rice Vermicelli With River Prawn and Superior  Prawn Broth. The process to prepare the broth is another time-consuming process (about 3 hours) to extract the full flavour of the ingredients such as prawns, carrots, bay leaf, tomatoes and more. The choice of noodles used is the silky smooth rice vermicelli which allows the broth to encapsulate the broth into every strand of the noodle. The River Prawn which has a bouncy firm texture is the testament to the freshness of the prawn; is lightly pan-fried. Needless to say, we slurp up every drop of the flavorful broth and noodles.

For dessert, the Chef Dixon has created a chilled dessert which is Carrot Puree With Edamame and Vanilla Ice-cream. The carrot puree is made from the blending of cooked carrot, whipping and full cream milk to provide a silky smooth texture while the Edamame is used to give the diners a crunch texture feel to the dessert & colouring while the ice-cream and chilled dragon fruit provide a cold end to this delicious desserts.
