Cantonese, Dim Sum, Non-Halal
Michelin-Selected Elegant Inn at Menara Hap Seng in KL’s downtown always has some of the best HK-style Cantonese cuisine in town. We started off with a selection of their dim sum - all very traditional and meticulously prepared:
1) Siew mai - steamed pork-and-shrimp dumplings, topped with tobiko (flying fish roe). One of the best-tasting in town!
2) Hokkaido scallop dumplings - these were strikingly beautiful morsels with clean, clearly-defined seafood-y flavors - a combination of shrimp-meat and scallop slices.
3) Chiuchow vegetable-and-seafood dumplings.
4) Crunchy Japanese Eel Cheung Fun - cellophane-soft rice noodles were wrapped around julienned vegetables (jicama, carrots), crisp-fried Vietnamese rice paper and unagi.
Then, we proceeded to the main dishes:
5) Elegant Inn house special yee sang. Very fresh vegetables used here. Superb.
6) Whole steamed fish - the perfectly-steamed seabass, topped with crisped pork lard-dried chilis.
7) Braised pork belly with abalone - this was an amazing dish, with complex flavors. The pork belly was slow-cooked in a soy sauce and spiced gravy for hours to achieve that melt-in-the-mouth texture, and seductively glossy appearance. The abalone lent its deep, umami flavors to the whole concoction.
8 ) Lap Mei Fan - a Chinese classic of preserved meats (waxed pork sausages, duck-liver sausages, waxed duck and waxed pork-meat) all steamed atop white rice. The rendition at Elegant Inn was often touted as the best in KL, and we could see why: simply bursting with flavors.
Best HK-style Cantonese fine dining I'd had in KL!
