Luxurious
New Set Menus
Exquisite
fine flavours have always been Elegant Inn Hong Kong Cuisine’s forte
when it comes to a gastronomic culinary journey in the heart of our city. The
fine Cantonese cuisine restaurant is now opened for dine-in or takeaway after a
hiatus from the recent global pandemic period. Gourmands can now tuck into
luscious dishes that Executive Chef Wesley Ng and culinary team is well-known
for. The nearly two-decade restaurant is located in Menara Hap Seng and offers
a culinary experience of the finest dishes using premium ingredients hand
carried personally by owner – Jeannette Han herself from Hong Kong as well as
fresh ingredients from locally source premium suppliers.
Diners
are assured of safety dining at Elegant Inn Hong Kong Cuisine. Jeannette has
recently installed a Medklinn system, one of the best air purification
and sterilization system, eliminating 99.9% of all harmful pollutants in the
restaurant. Used in Singapore Changi Airport as well as Resorts World Genting
and other international companies, the system helps to protect diners as well
as the staffs of the restaurant, offering a peace of mind while dining.
Besides
the purifying system, the restaurant has also spaced out the dining as per the
required SOP for safety. Diners can enjoy dining in the main dining room as
well as their private dining rooms.
Elegant
Inn has launched a
new list of set menus recently filled with their signatures as well as some new
additions. The set menus cater from 2 pax to 10 pax and every set has different
dishes to tempt even the most discerning palate.
We
had the honors of previewing two set menus that offers a kaleidoscope of dishes
featuring beautiful premium ingredients. Our journey commenced with the Blissful
Set Menu for 4 pax at RM688+. The set menu consisted of a trio of
appetizers, a soup course, 4 main dishes and another trio of desserts.
The
trio of appetizers is beautifully presented at sight, featuring Crunchy
Japanese Eel Roll, E.I Salt & Pepper Fried Homemade Tofu and Crispy Soft-Shell
Crab with Light Spicy Sauce.
E.I
Salt & Pepper Fried Homemade Tofu
is light and easy to enjoy…bite into a thin crispy tofu with a smooth and
creamy center. Flavoured with garlicky notes and a nice balance of savory and
peppery note, the tofu is house made and a popular dish with many diners.
Batons
of Crunchy Japanese Eel Roll excited the palate with its smoky sweetness
of eel in crispy pastry.
We
certainly enjoyed the delightful Crispy Soft-Shell Crab with Light Spicy
Sauce. Thinly battered and fried well, the soft-shell crab had that light
spicy and sweet note, whetting the palate for more to come.
Elegant
Inn has always pride
themselves on their soups. Cantonese pride themselves on their ‘Kang’, a
thick bisque that is usually laced with bountiful dried seafood essence. At
first spoonful of the Braised Fish Maw & Dried Seafood with
Sakura Ebi, warmness filled my taste bud with comfort pleasures.
The
sublime seafood essence was divine, enhanced by the various textures of fresh
fish maw (Fa Kau), fried fish maw (Yue Piew), dried scallop, crab roe with crab
meat and Japanese Sakura Ebi. The premium Sakura Ebi and fish maws are brought
back from Hong Kong for their quality. An excellent bowl of seafood bisque that
warrants slow enjoyment to savor the glorious ingredients!
The
subtle sweetness of fish, cleverly perfumed with citrus, was deliciously
delectable. Chef Wesley opted to pair orange for that citrusy sweetness to
balance up the robust salty black bean note. The overall Steamed Sea Garoupa
Slices with Fresh Orange & Black Bean Sauce had that lovely moreish
note that keeps enticing the palate to want more of this dish.
It
took them a while to perfect their Golden Boneless Stuffed Chicken with
Chicken Tomato Salad. The chicken skin is utterly crispy and scrumptious.
Coupled with the bouncy bites of the prawn and chicken paste, one can easily
polish a few pieces of these. A lightly roasted tomato wedge topped with
shredded chicken and drizzled with house made orange balsamic sauce proved to
be a good yin to the yang of the stuffed chicken pieces.
The
next dish of Wok Fried Spanish Iberico Pork with Cordyceps Flower &
Bitter Melon was so delicious that I nearly wanted to ordered a bowl of
steamed rice. The pork was succulent with tasty bits and paired so well with
the crisp bitter melon and smoky cordyceps flowers. One of my favorite dishes
of the course. There is also an option to upgrade to M8 Australian Wagyu Beef
for RM48+ if you prefer beef over pork.
If
there is one carb drool worthy of its calories, it’s Elegant Inn’s Australia
Scallop & Japanese Dried Scallop Fried Rice. Full of wok hei,
the fluffy rice is well-studded with cubes of fresh scallops and flakes of
dried scallops. Kailan stems gave the dish a nice textural component too. This
was delicious, so much so that I had a second helping happily.
It
was a trio of sweet endings with Nutty Sesame Ball, Homemade Banana Red Bean
Pancake and Icy Lemon Longan Sea Coconut. While the Homemade Banana
Red Bean Pancake was yummy with its crispy pastry filled with creamy sweet
banana and nutty bean paste, the Nutty Sesame Ball was superb. The peanut
filling was divine and goes so well with the crispy and lightly chewy sesame
studded pastry.
A
refreshing ending of citrusy Icy Lemon Longan Sea Coconut was the
perfect finale to the course.
If
you’re up for splurging for finer delights, Elegant Inn offers a Lavish
Set Menu for 2 pax at RM368+ per person. Savor premium land and sea
ingredients curated with much effort by Chef Wesley and culinary team for
gourmand pleasures, this 10-dish course takes on a luscious and flavourful
journey of the finest.
Starting
the appetizer course with a trio of dishes, tuck into Pan Seared French
Goose Liver on Crunchy Pickles, Australian Scallop Bacon Roll and E.I
Crispy Vegetable Rice Roll.
Plump
and sweet Australian Scallop Bacon Roll proved that some pairings are
just meant to be. Sublime crispy bacon with juicy scallops are literally a
match made in food haven. One is surprised by the taro flavour from the roll
that is finished by a dainty crispy fried lotus root on salad of cherry tomato and
baby cos lettuce.
The
E.I Crispy Vegetable Rice Roll, inspired by Hong Kong’s dim sum of ‘Cha
Leong’, is at its best when prepared fresh from the kitchen. Crispy fritter
with vegetables rolled up with freshly steamed Cheong Fun in a savory and sweet
sauce had us enjoying the natural sweetness and wonderful textures very much.
To
round up the epic appetizer episode, the perfectly Pan Seared French Goose
Liver on Crunchy Pickles has a delicious vibe going on with that luscious
and creamy goose liver balanced up with garlicky pickled smashed cucumber.
Popping sensations of tiny globules of fish roes added umami notes to the dish.
Going
all out, the Double-Boiled Superior Shark’s Fin with Dried Conch &
Village Chicken Soup reminded us again how satisfying a soup can be when it
is made with bountiful ingredients. The aroma was immensely delicious, tingling
our sense of smell in excitement even before tasting it. A slow sip of the
broth led to beautiful soothing pleasures with that robust seafood essence of
its quality and amount of ingredients used for the broth alone. There is always
the option of substituting the shark’s fin with fish maw for their own
preference.
The
Golden Fried Atlantic Cod Fish with Signature Fiery Garlic & Black Bean
Sauce showcased a flawlessly fried cod with crispy skin served with a
piquant sauce that rendered fireworks on the palate. The cod was creamy and
smooth while the spicy garlicky black bean sauce perked up the oceanic
sweetness very well.
It
takes skills to prepare one of the much sought after ingredient of the sea. The
Braised Whole 7 Head South Africa Abalone with “Chu Por” Sea Cucumber &
Flower Mushroom goes through a long and slow process of selecting, soaking,
simmering and braising as well as flavouring premium abalone and sea cucumber
to bring out its best of flavours and textures. The sauce, beautifully
flavoured of briny sea notes, had us trying to spoon it as much as we can with
the main ingredients in each bite.
A
simple but scrumptious Organic Buckwheat Noodle with Wok Fried Spanish
Iberico Pork had us slurping in delight. Al dente buckwheat noodle was a
good platform to the tasty and full of ‘Wok Hei’ Iberico pork slices. Despite being
full, I couldn’t resist the dish for its yummy notes. There’s always room for
an upgrade to Japanese A5 Wagyu Beef for RM68+ for extra pleasure.
The
course ended on a high note with more premium ingredients in Bird’s Nest Egg
Tartlet, E.I Golden Custard Cake and Double-Boiled Hasma with Bentong
Ginger & Rock Sugar.
A
popular signature of Elegant Inn, the E.I Golden Custard Cake was
this delicious pan-fried Ma Lai Ko with crisp layer contrasting beautifully
with the fluffy cake. Savor the delicate flavour and texture of the Bird’s
Nest Egg Tartlet before ending the gastronomical journey with a nutritious Double-Boiled
Hasma with Bentong Ginger & Rock Sugar. The subtle gingery notes along
with hasma soothed the body and palate with comfort notes after a beautiful
Chinese meal of the finest ingredients. Upgrade to Double-Boiled Golden
Bird’s Nest with King Dates & Rock Sugar for RM88+.
