It was a last-minute decision to have a Mother's day celebration dinner here. Since we have overseas family members here, we decided to bring them here to experience the "revolving restaurant" concept as well. Heh, we have not tried this place ourselves either, though we are aware it has been here for a really long time. When we called to make the booking, we were told it's fully booked but they could still squeeze in a table for us. However, through the night, there were only a few tables occup
We were a group of 8 adults and a child. There was another set menu available for 8 pax, but we decided on the special mother's day set menu for 10 pax $498++ instead as we felt it was more worth it due to the lobster/abalone/sea cucumber offered. Besides, there's also a complimentary bottle of red wine. In the end, we could still finish all our food (my nephew's a big eater too).
The first dish of shredded scallops with fish & egg white was really yummy. Loved the texture and fragrance of this dish which was rather exquisitely done I must say. Plenty of shredded scallops were given
- Shredded scallops with fish & egg whiteThe Fish Maw & Seafood in Thick soup (not pictured) was pretty good as well, with plenty of fish maw and fresh pieces of crab meat within a tasty broth.
I was looking forward to the peking duck here, as I've read that it's one of their signature dishes. Unfortunately, the peking duck was over-roasted resulting in the skin being too dry. I've definitely had much better peking duck elsewhere. A bit of a let-down for this dish.
- Peking duckThe deep-fried garoupa had no bones which was really convenient hehe. The fish was lightly fried thus the meat within was still moist and tender with a crispy coating. The accompanying salt & pepper dip did not add much to the taste of the fish. Luckily there was another sweet-and-sour sauce dip as well, which was a much better choice to dip the fish pieces in.
- Deep-fried garoupa with salt & pepperThe chili lobster was just like a chili crab dish but the crab replaced with pieces of lobster. The lobster given was plentiful and fresh. One of the nicer dishes as well. If you like, you can order fried mantou for dipping into the sauce - but we felt we had a lot of food already, so we declined the waitress' suggestion.
- Chili LobsterThere were 10 pieces of braised abalone which tasted pretty good. BUT the sea cucumber were tasteless! You can tell that it has been poached in water only and definitely not braised together with the abalone. Perhaps the quality of the sea cucumber offered were not of a good quality - which should be able to be braised for a long period of time without disintegrating or becoming soft too fast.
- Braised whole abalone with sea cucumber & broccoliThe sauteed noodles were also rather tasteless. In fact, we had to resort to spooning the chili crab sauce over our noodles to make it more palatable.
- Sauteed noodle with shredded duck meat Thankfully, the dessert was good. The souffle egg white balls were fragrant. Even though it's deep fried, it was not very oily. The red bean stuffing inside also had the right level of sweetness to it and was smooth and tasty.
- Souffle balls with read bean stuffingGenerally, the food here has its hits and misses. It's more of the experience of the revolving restaurant and the views outside. The building itself is quite old already and the lobby has an "old, musty" smell to it. But once you enter the restaurant, the interior and views outside are still quite fine. Dining here is pretty expensive though. Bill came up to around $620 in the end.
