NOBLE HOUSE KL Restaurant | 2017 Chinese New Year Delightful Set Menu



The Malaysian 2017 Chinese New Year menu is fairly predictable, but every once in a blue moon, someone will spring a surprise. And as surprises go to; the Chef at Noble House Restaurant which has crafted out some Specialties Chinese New Year Dishes and Chinese New Year Set Menu dishes especially for you to feast on.


NOBLE HOUSE Restaurant Address
No.19 Jalan Delima
Off Jalan Tun Razak
55100 Kuala Lumpur


To start off our review, we had the Tuna and Crispy Fish Skin Yee Sang in comparison with most others that offer Salmon Yee Sang. The Crispy fish skin adds an extra level of texture to the Yee Sang.


Among some of the surprise dishes that we have tasted are from the Noble House 2017 Chinese New Year Specialties Dishes Menu; the first of which is Pan Fried Hokkaido Scallop With Black Truffle (RM33.00 per pax). We love the strong fragrant of the truffle oil that was used which went well with the firm succulent texture of the Hokkaido Scallop which was presented like a Western dish.

The setting is one of a grand dining experience which reminiscent a classic Chinese theme. Don't be surprised if you meet up with this Chinese Warlord.  Fully air conditioned, it provides a very conducive and cosy setting for steamboat even during lunch. The best part about dining here is that the steamboat ingredients comes in a push cart much like the Dim Sum trolly. You can have your pick of ingredients or you can just order it from the menu which will be delivered to your table and with that, it is what is known as served to table ala carte buffet.
