As the head chef, Chef Chan is known for his artistic and creative in his food direction while insist of freshness and finest in his ingredients At the restaurant that noon we had the pleasure to try out some of his creations from two of his oriental 6-course set lunchess Each set comprised of a starter, a soup, three main courses and a dessert. It is definitely a perfect feast.

To begin the meal, a long white plate sat elegantly with Stir-fried Prawns with Fermented ‘Fremenia Rice’ and Tomato-Chile Sauce and Deep-fried Garoupa Fillet with Passion Fruit Salsa was such a devilish thing to display just infront of me. My evil cousin within me just appeared with such a lust over the prawn and the garoupa while wacking its tail with such a joy. Lovely.

Deep-fried Banana Chicken in Crispy Yam Paste Crust

Looking for something out of the ordinary, I am sure the Deep-fried Banana Chicken in Crispy Yam Paste Crust will be such a blast of joy. Unique and unbelieveable. All of us thought it was something of dismay due to the present of banana in a savoury dish. But it got us all wrong, for one I quiet like it. Crusty on the outside and filled with variation of textures. Whats more, it left with a tangy taste in my mouth. It was a bit of a suprise and very reinventing. Not a bad idea.

Baked Cod with Pomelo Honey Glaze

Crusty chunk of cod was playing with my palatte. Love it especially the caramelised crispy skin then coated with tangy pomelo honey glaze. Very appealing indeed. I also noticed the present of bitterness of orange peel which gave the dish a boasty taste. Elegant.

Having the talent in carving the duckling is a must on our next dish. Carefully peeling the crispy skin and infused into the thin crepe wrap over sliced spring onion, cucumber matchstick and with a slight spread of sweet bean sauce can be beautiful and elegant light eating. A piece or two is a must. As for the duck meat, the chef intelligently had it transformed into a delicious Stir-fried Sliced Duck with China Scallions on Clay Plate. It was a gorgoeous piece of art to watch and to own.
