Yezi At The Roof - A Steamboat Feast To Usher 2016 Year Of Fire Monkey Lunar New Year Celebration

After many round of reviewing Chinese New Year Set menu, it was about time to taste something different. Steamboat has been a tradition as the main meal during Chinese New Year for many families; as all members of the family are able to participate in the fun cooking and share the joy of having a meal together. At Yezi At The Roof located at Sky Level, 1 First Avenue, 3, Lebuh Bandar Utama, Bandar Utama Petaling Jaya, Selangor the main specialty here is the premium steamboat. 

What we mean by premium steamboat is that unlike most other restaurant that serves steamboat with their regular broth, here at Yezi At The Roof; an award winning restaurant, they offered special broth that are made from fresh coconut juice. The soup based which are offered here are the Imperial Canton, Aromatic Taiwanese Beef Spice or the Fragrant "Shao Xing" Wine Seafood Broth or the top of the range Wild Forest Truffle Mushroom Broth. Here is the link for my earlier review at Yezi At The Roof

For the 2016 Year of Fire Monkey Chinese New Year, Yezi At The Roof has crafted out some special set steamboat for you to enjoy during this festive season. First and foremost as with all Chinese New Year, you can't missed the most important dish which is the Yee Sang. Here it is offered as a Salmon with Jelly Fish Yee Sang.

For this review of steamboat, we had chosen the signature Wild Forest Truffle Mushroom Broth; which has a very strong mushroom flavour and truffle aroma. Even without any condiment added to it, you can taste the smooth flavour of this vegetarian broth. Customers that choose this Promo Set can opt for 1 of the 5 selection broth for the steamboat.

To prepare for the steamboat dinner, there is a special concoction of sauce that is only available at Yezi; you can check it out with the waiter the proportion of the mixture which consists of kalamansi juice, chilli padi, ginger and soya sauce.  

Next on in the Promo B (10 pax) set RM1,318 that we reviewed comes with special premium item like GeoDuck. 

With Fresh Tiger Prawns (from the aquarium) with white Clams

Fresh Pork Slice /Premium Lamb Slices was the fresh meat offering (please note that if you do not want to have lamb, you can request the captain to change it to pork slices instead).

One of the specialty condiments at Yezi; is the meatballs that are served here. All the meat balls are in-house made. For this set it comes with Tung Choy Pork Balls, Wagyu Beef Tendon Ball ( we love this as the meat was very tasty and the texture was firm and bouncy), Fried Lobster Salad Ball and the Squid Balls. 

Another 2 of my favourite condiment is the in-house made Prawn Paste (served in the shell) and Fish Paste (served in a bamboo case).

Other condiments to go with your steamboat set are the Mix vegetables with Mushroom, White To Fu, Eggs and Udon Noodles.

For dessert, this set comes with the Home Made Fragrant Coconut Ice Cream, which has a strong coconut flavor, and a silky smooth texture and topped with roasted coconut flakes. 

If you plan for a more extravagant meal, you can opt for the Promo C which comes with the Alaskan Crab and Japan Matsusaka Beef as it main item. Do check out the promotion menu below.

One of the pleasant moment about dining in Yezi At The Roof; besides the nice decor and ambiance is the view from the balcony. In the evening or later at night, you will be able to enjoy this beautiful breezy view that can melt away your stress and prepare your appetite for a delightful dining experience. 

Enclosed herewith is all the promotion for this festive season from Yezi At The Roof.

Ee Chinese Cuisine Restaurant Eastin Hotel - A Scrumptious Feast For A Grand 2016 Year of Fire Monkey Chinese New Year

Treat your family and business associates with a grand and scrumptious Fire Monkey Chinese New Year meal at Ee Chinese Cuisine Restaurant, Eastin Hotel, Petaling Jaya Selangor. 

The specially crafted dishes for this review are selected from the set menu and prepared by Chef Alex to entice your tastebud for this 2016 Chinese New Year.

To kick start our Chinese New Year review of some of the special highlights dishes for Chinese New Year is the Lou Sang. 

The Yee Sang that are served to us is the Salmon with Rice Cracker 'Yee Sang'. Ee Chinese Cuisine Restaurant also offers other unique Yee Sang which are the Australian Lobster Yee Sang or the Abalone Yee Sang for customers to choose from.

We then proceeded to taste; the hearty Double Boiled Chinese Herb With Dried Scallop and Fish Maw. Every spoonful of this soup have the smooth taste of the herbs which was encased with the taste of the scallop and the soft springy fish maw; perfectly double boiled to extract all the full flavour of the ingredients into the soup. 

Next on is the Steamed Live Kerai Fish With Superior Soya Sauce. This fish is a freshwater fish which besides eating the flesh; its scales can also be eaten as well. The Chef did a light frying of the scales to give it a slight crunch feel. We love the fine and smooth texture of the steamed fish meat which blended well with the superior soya sauce.

It has been quite a while we had the opportunity to relish to taste the Roast Pei Pa Duck; as many restaurant in the Klang Valley does not served duck in this style. One of the key reasons is that the chef has got to get the timing perfect to get the duck to be roasted with a crisp skin while the meat still retaining the juicy flavour and succulent texture that can proves to be a daunting task to those that are less experience. Great to have tasted this delicious dish after such a long time.

This is then followed by the Braised Homemade Beancurd with Dried Oyster, Prawns and Vegetables.

Moving on we had the Wax Meat Rice with XO Sauce. Usually in most other Chinese Restaurant, the sausage will be pork based but here at Ee Chinese Cuisine, the sausage are from the duck. We like the texture of the sausage as there were very little fats and it was very fragrantful. With the special Chef XO Sauce, it was the right combination to the delicious Wax Meat Rice. Normally by this time, we would have been quite full, but the taste of the rice; called for a second bowl.

For dessert, we had the Coconut Pudding. As in most other restaurant; puddings will normally be served as a small cup or in agar-agar mould, but here the Chef is generously serving it in a coconut shell almost to the brim; to gives it a special twist with the coconut flesh still intact. The pudding has a strong flavour of coconut and topped with a lychee and mint leaves for the finishing touch. A refreshing end to our review.

One of the key thing about dining at Ee Chinese Cuisine Restaurant is the quality of ingredient used to dish out these dishes which makes eating it a joy; especially during festive season like the Chinese New Year.

Other special dishes offered in the set menu during this Chinese New Year from 4th January to 22nd February 2016 are the Mini Monk Jumps Over The Wall, Braised Abalone Dried Oyster, Goose Web with Sea Cucumber, Sizzling Baked Cod Fish with Teriyaki Sauce and much more from RM628.00 nett per table of 4 pax onwards. 

You can also try out the organic dish of the Steamed Capon Chicken or the Baked King River Prawns or the popular Sweetened Bird Nest and not forgetting the Conventional Style Steamed Century Grouper Fish to savour on. 

For those of you that loves oldies, on every Thursday night, Ee Chinese Cuisine has a special duo which will be belting out some lovely oldies while you enjoy the delicious offering from the restaurant.

On behalf of +BestRestaurant ToEat, we would like to wish our readers a Happy Fire Monkey Chinese New Year.

Twenty One Gram Cafe Restaurant - A New Place To Chill in Petaling Jaya New Town MBPJ

It has been quite sometime that we have reviewed a cafe; so it was to chill out with some lattes and espresso to start a nice morning. +BestRestaurant ToEat  was invited to taste out some of the special dishes at Twenty One Gram Cafe Restaurant located at 7, Jalan 52/16, Petaling Jaya New Town ; a walking distance from the popular Menara MBPJ.

Why name a restaurant Twenty One Gram, we ponder as we asked the manager about it. Turns out that this grammage is the weight to brew each cup of coffee. A nice thought to it.

As with most cafe, Twenty One Grams Cafe Restaurant does offers a quiet and relaxed atmosphere where you can chill with your buddies while sipping the specially blended coffee while enjoying a fusion dish of western food.

Our review started with the Big Breakfast which consist of Scrambled Eggs, Chicken Sausage, Turkey Ham, Roasted Potatoes, Baked Beans, Rocket with slices of Buttered Toast (RM23.95).

Next On, we had some small snack dish which is the Buffalo Wings (RM23.95) with homemade BBQ Sauce.

Followed by the main of the Fire Grill Chicken (RM27.95). The quarter chicken are grilled with a special spicy marinade that tasted a little like the tandoori chicken and served with garlic flvoured baked mashed potatoes.

For pasta we tried the Squid Ink Spaghetti (RM29.95). The spaghetti is cooked with the squid ink while the scallop and prawns are cooked in a special in-house made tomato based sauce with a slight hint of spicy taste.

and for dessert, we had the Belgian Waffles with Dark Chocolate and Banana (RM17.95).

The last dish is the Churros with Espresso Chocolate (RM17.95). We love the Churros as it has that nice crunch feel while the inside is still soft when bitten into it together with the dash of sugar coating. Dip in the special chocolate espresso dip, it was just great taste to end our review.

For youngster and those that love to sip their coffee, Twenty One Grams offers this ambience and a pretty nice place to meet up with friends and buddies to catch up.
