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.
