Like an evocation of its name, Lai Ching Yuen presents a lush sensory experience as much as a gastronomic one. The decor and its stunning red and black interior create a glamorous setting for some of the best cuisine this side of Guangzhou. And the food, award-winning delicacies accented by oriental table settings, take the traditional refinement of Cantonese cuisine to dizzying heights.

Lai Ching Yuen's new a la carte menu is a testament to the inventive nature of the cuisine itself. Crafted by Executive Chef Terence Foong along with his team of the culinary brigade, it exudes a touch of modernity to both the presentation as well as cooking techniques and is a juxtaposition of flavours, textures and freshness.

For tonight our gastronomical journey started off with the Smoked Duck Breast With Chef's Special Dressing - The smoked duck breast pairs which are smoked to a nice smokey flavour is balanced off with the right amount of fats and served with chilled crunchy zucchini. Topped it up with the Chef's special secret sauce, that has a slight dash of spicy and sourish taste. A nice starter for the night to entice our taste buds.

Another appetiser on the menu was the Stuffed White Mushroom With Pork & Shrimp In Marmite Sauce. A combination of finely minced pork and shrimp stuffed into the mushroom which is coated with fragrant marmite sauce (we can smell the aroma of the marmite sauce even before the dish reached our table), providing a textural delight of crunchy, chewy and softness to the dish.

For the soup, the Chef serves us the Braised Crab Meat & Fresh Fish Maw. Great to be eaten with a dash of vinegar or preserved crunchy green chillies.

The first mains on the table was the Crispy Fried Cuttlefish With Salt & Pepper. Love the firm bouncy texture of the cuttlefish which are coated with the special flour battered that are infused with the right amount of salt and pepper. Best to be eaten accompanied with a Cold beer or a sip of hot Chinese tea.

For the fish dish, we were served a steamed Tiger Grouper with Chef Terence Foong's famous signature style which is the Ombak Style Tiger Grouper, Steamed With Soy Sauce. The Chef has made it easy for us to eat; as all the meat has been deboned; so naturally all the tender fish meat has the sauce which is gel into it making every serving a real delight to be eaten. As always, the nice slippery fish head has been slurped up by no want but yours truly.

Next on is the Crispy German Pork Trotter, another one of my favourite dishes. I just love the crispy skin of the pork knuckles which was pre-cooked and of a thought, it reminds me of the flavours of a nice cold German beer which will be the best partner for this dish.

Another pork dish which was served to us is the Baked Pork Ribs With Lemon Grass which was a wonder to eat. Fork-tender, flavourful baked pork ribs, richly seasoned and well-marinated in fragrant fresh herbs of lemongrass, baked to the right balance!

Stewed Stuffed Sea Cucumber With Shimeji Mushroom & Bean Curd, an exquisite dish that accentuates the best texture and taste of each of the ingredients, Braised with the Shimeji mushroom and premium oyster sauce, it is a light taste which is perfect to partner with the soft and smooth tofu.

For the prawn dish, the chef; dish out the flavourful HongKong style Wok-Fried Bei Fong Tong Style Prawns. This aromatic seafood dish packs a load of punchy spicy taste. Crispy battered prawns are entrenched with lots of dried chilli and sliced almonds to give it; its aromatic distinctive flavour.

To add a little extra flavour; our last dish before the dessert is the Fried Rice With Goose Liver Pate & Pine Nuts. This use of the liver pate adds a dimension of taste to the fried rice which was cooked with a strong Wok-Hei flavour.

For dessert, we had 2 dishes, the first of which is the Deep Fried Durian With Yam Puff. This dessert resembles the Yam Puff (Woo Kok) but the filling was changed to Durian custard which has a very strong durian flavour which as Malaysian and Durian fans will love this dessert.

And the last dessert is the White Rabbit Sherbet, which has tinges of white rabbit candy fluttered around the sherbet. Remind ones of the good old days when we eat this candy and the wrapper as well. An interesting end to our food review.

The Embassy Cafe At The Starling Mall Damansara Uptown Petaling Jaya

The Embassy Cafe + Bakery serves Eastern and Western simple, healthy and hearty meals including fine cakes and bread. The Embassy is a family friendly, PORK FREE and WIFI enabled.

The Embassy Cafe Address

Level 2, The Starling Mall, Jalan SS21/37 Damansara Uptown

Petaling Jaya, Malaysia
The Embassy Cafe Facebook

Inspired by the warmth and gracious hospitality of embassies from around the world, The Embassy café seeks to bring the exciting spirit of the journey, adventure, friendship and comfort through its food and interior space.

With a nature theme and the signature usage of lines in the interior design, The Embassy infuses natural clean lines that symbolise the fluidity of time, space and evolution that connects all of us in our daily journey and adventure. The Embassy offers cuisine from East & West that blends a culinary combination of something for everybody on one menu.

Our review started off with an order of the cool Iced Mocha RM 14.00 which is matched with our breakfast set.



The Breakfast set that we ordered to taste is the Ambassador's Big Breakfast  RM 28.00. Our orders came with 2 sunny sides up, toasted sourdough; with 2 pieces of hash brown, beef bacon, chicken bratwurst, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes and baked beans.



Next; we decided to order a salad which is the Oriental Grilled Ribeye Salad RM 24.00. This salad is a little heavy as it comes with streaks of grill rib-eye that is accompanied with fresh leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumber and cilantro served with sesame-soy dressing. A balance salad which can easily be a meal for small eaters.



Next, comes the mains which I ordered the SynFull Roast Chicken for a half chicken portion (RM 35.00). For the smaller eater, you can order the quarter chicken set (RM26.00). You can see that this is a real treat as the skin was a roast to a nice crisp while the meat was still juicy and succulent. We can taste the strong flavor of the spices and herbs marinade that was imbued into the meat. This wholesome meal is served with seasonal vegetables, rosemary butter potatoes and served with a creamy mushroom sauce.



For those that loves the carbs; can order a pasta which we had is the Carbonara (RM 22.00). For those that loves the cheesy feel of the Carbonara sauce will attest to this dish. The pasta was cooked with a smooth cheesy cream sauce,  mushrooms, Parmesan cheese and topped with beef bacon. I am not a big fan of pasta, but this one hit the right note for me.



Our last main was the Embassy Nasi Istimewa RM 28.00. Here at Embassy, they do provide a number of local delights. Apparently, the recipe of these dishes is from one of the owner's mothers which she has meticulously trained the chef to cook it at close as possible to her recipe. This Nasi Istimewa is served with the Ayam Pindang together with fried rice, anchovies, Tempe Sambal, fried cabbage, Papadams, Kerabu Mangga and topped with sunny side egg. I would have preferred the dish served with plain white rice, as it will be more tasteful.



By the time we tasted the last mains, we were too full to even order our dessert.

A norm in the operation of Cocotei is to bring the in-season fresh ingredient that is air-flown in from Japan; this is the closest dining experience out of Japan that you can get. You can expect that the Omakase Set that is being offered; changes on a weekly basis.

The Chef cum owner has a history of more than 25 years of serving fine Japanese cuisine, having served under the tutelage of Japanese fine dining culinary master for many years before venturing out on his own.

As the season of Spring has just started in Japan and Sakura flowers are in full bloom, today our culinary experience revolves around the Sakura Omakase (7 courses) Set. Starting out is the Zensai Santen  - a combo of 3 specially crafted Japanese appetiser which is the Hotaru Ika (Baby Squid), Tofu Miso Yaki and the Okura Ikura Ai - a special homemade slices of okra with a special sauce topped with Salmon Fish Roe that gives an elements of salty bursting taste to this appetizer.

Next on the course is the Sashimi Moriawase, we were served the current in-season special which is the Tobiuo (Flying fish) as the main sashimi paired with the Kanpachi (Yellow Tail), Akamai (Tuna) and the ever popular Sake (Salmon). The freshest and best cut to the right thickness of this sashimi platter was a real treat.

This is then followed by the Potato Manju - This is a very popular dish in Shinjuku Japan and it was concocted after Chef Coco Tan during one of his pilgrimage to Japan where he was intrigued by the flavours and texture of this dish. In Japan, the filling used is Pork but since Cocotei Japanese Restaurant is a Pork-free restaurant, he uses the chicken as the filling. This marinade chicken filling is then wrapped with a silky smooth potato which has a texture reminiscent to the smashed potatoes and broiled with a Dashi broth.

For the grilled item, we were served the Ebi Kimmiyaki (Grilled Prawn With Egg Yolk). Love the prawn meat that was grilled to the right charred that retains the firm bouncy texture of the meat.

The next dish is another version of Tempura which is not very familiar in Malaysia, This is the called the Arare Age Moriawase. This version of Tempura uses tiny Baked Rice Crackers as its batter instead of the Tempura powder. We love the crispy Rice Crackers as it gives out a nice crunchy feel to each bite. There is four variety which was served to us, which is the Deep-fried Scallop, Crab Stick, Fish Fillet and Egg Plant.

The dipping sauce for this dish is either the special Shoyu dipping sauce or the special Japanese Salt.

The last course before dessert is the Sushi Moriawase which consists of the Salmon Mentai Sushi (Sliced Salmon topped with Mentai sauce), Negitoro Gunkan Maki (finely chopped raw tuna) and the Nianago Sushi(sea eel).

This Sushi Moriawase set is served with Kinoko Miso Shiru (mushroom miso soups). We love this strongly flavoured mushroom soup as the Chef has used a combination of the few type of mushroom to gives it a strong taste, flavours, and aroma.

For dessert, we were served the Domyoji Age (Japanese Sweet Pink Coloured Red Bean Rice Cake). A truly satisfying end to this special fine dining experience at Cocotei Tokyo Cuisine.
