Treasure of Mid-Autumn with Halal
Certified Mooncakes
Mooncake
season is back and it’s time to enjoy a traditional treat of mooncakes with
family, friends and loved ones. From 1 August to 15 September 2016, Dorsett Grand Subang is featuring new
flavors and classic flavors of their Treasure
of Mid-Autumn Halal Certified Mooncakes available at the hotel lobby and The Emperor restaurant.
Dim
Sum Chef Chan Chee Loon has created 3 new signature mooncakes this year and
diners can expect the very best of flavors from these mooncakes. There are 11
variations in total of baked and crystal skin mooncake flavors available this
year with returning favorites as well as the 3 new flavor. The price of the
mooncakes start from RM25 nett to RM30 each.
The
3 signature new mooncakes to savor this year are Crystal Skin Peppermint Chocolate Paste Mooncake, Baked Ginseng Qi Zi
Paste with Single Yolk Mooncake and Baked
Low Sugar White Coffee Durian Paste Mooncake.
If
you enjoy the tingling sensation of minty peppermint with chocolate, the Crystal Skin Peppermint Chocolate Paste
Mooncake is perfect for you. The balance of the peppermint against the
chocolate was spot on. The dark rich chocolate with nutty bits is just velvety
and rich while the peppermint leaves a light and soothing minty after note.
My
favorite mooncake of the 3 new flavor is the Baked Ginseng Qi Zi Paste with Single Yolk. Ginseng flavor is
pretty noticeable in the mooncake and works very well the goji berry paste. The
hint of bitter note is definitely unique and tasted very pleasant and familiar
on the palate. Coupled with the salty and luscious egg yolk, this mooncake
packs a delightful and unique flavor profile that many elders will enjoy.
The
Baked Low Sugar White Coffee Durian
Paste Mooncake is also rather unique and features a good hint of the king
of fruits. Since durian and coffee are both strong in flavors, the duo proves
to be a solid match for each one, lending a rich and robust flavor mooncake.
We
were treated to a Mooncake Demonstration
by Chef Chan. Every step-by-step looked amazingly simple but we all know that
it takes a lot of skill and the right ingredients to make these mooncakes. Let’s
leave the making of the mooncakes to the expert!

Pork Free Dim Sum at The Emperor
While
one is at Dorsett Grand Subang, do
head on over to Chinese restaurant, The
Emperor for scrumptious bites of dim sum. Famous for their pork free dim
sum, The Emperor serves a solid selection of steamed, baked and fried dim sums.
Chef Chan’s skillful touch are definitely well-received by many foodies who
enjoy pork free dim sum.
The Emperor serves Cantonese cuisine set in a
traditional ambiance. Spacious main dining room as well as private dining rooms
are well decorated with Chinese motifs and classic Chinese table settings.
From
the steamed dim sum selection, diners will be pleased at their popular choices
of Steamed Siew Mai Emperor Style,
Steamed Prawn Dumpling with Coriander, Steamed Bamboo Pith Roll, Fish Paste
Dumpling with Garlic, Crispy Cheong Fun with Prawns and more.
The
Siew Mai and Prawn Dumplings are beautiful in flavor and texture. A solid bouncy
texture in the Siew Mai is a testament to how skillful Chef Chan is in his
repertoire. Sweet firm prawns encased in lightly chewy crystal skin is very
enjoyable.
There’s
the bouncy Steamed Fish Paste Dumpling
with Garlic that had a rich fish flavor that anyone of all ages will enjoy.
Simply
a must-order, the Crispy Cheong Fun with
Prawns had a harmonious texture of soft, crispy, bouncy and firm all rolled
in one. Love the savory and sweet flavor of the dish!
Salted
egg yolk foodies will definitely be hooked on the Steamed Squid Ink Bun with Salted Egg. Unctuously moreish and rich,
the oozing filling is simply finger-licking food while the fluffy bao makes the
right partner to soak up the richness.
There’s
also the Pan-Fried Shanghai Dumpling
with its lightly crisp skin encasing juicy meaty filling. Add on a bit of chili
oil or enjoy it with the vinegar and ginger sauce for extra flavor.
One
cannot go wrong with the Deep Fried
Vegetarian Spring Roll, simple classic dim sum made well and enjoyable.
There’s
crispy Deep-Fried Yam Dumpling with
its sweet chicken char siu filling that was a crowd pleaser that day. Fluffy
and creamy yam with a crispy exterior and moreish filling is always a favorite
of mine anytime.
Another
classic must-have at any dim sum meal is Baked
Mini Egg Tart. The ones here have a buttery flaky crust filled with wobbly
eggy custard.
There
are plenty more dim sum choices on the menu so gather your parties to try them
all. The pork free dim sum at The Emperor is definitely one of the better dim
sums I have had in the city.
