Hotel Equatorial Mooncake Preview @ Golden Phoenix Chinese Restaurant

Few more days topat yut shap ng, ba yue shi wu, 八月十五day fifteen on the eight month of the lunar calendar. 

Have you start your mid autumn celebration, trying on the variety of mooncakes from each bakery; start finishing the stocked up mooncakes?!

After the Hary Raya, we will soon embed into another festive mood again. Yes! It’s the Mid Autumn Festival that falls on next week!

Thanks to Feedmelah.com and Hotel Equatorial, I was invited to Hotel Equatorial Mooncake Preview to sample their latest and new mooncake flavours as well as a variety of new dishes from Golden Phoenix Chinese Restaurant.

The Classic: Red Bean Green Tea (RM 13.90); Mixed nuts

eq moonc1

Pumpkin Taro; Red Yeast Sweet Potato

eq moonc3

Espresso Chestnuts; German Black Forest

eq moonc2

Charcoal Baked Yam; Bamboo Hazelnut

New flavours are ranged from RM 17.90 to RM 18.90. My votes go to Charcoal Baked Yam with light yam taste and Bamboo Hazelnut which was low in sugar. Espresso Chestnut was perfectly blended with strong aromatic coffee flavour; German Black Forest was tad sweet to my liking. They do emphasize on a healthier version of mooncake where they actually reduce the amount of oil used in their mooncake.

Hotel Equatorial also offers the Shimmering Moonlight that resembles cute lil’ Gold Ingots symbolizing wealth, abundance and prosperity under their mooncake selection. A box of 9 mini ingots costs RM 38; limited to only 20 boxes per day. Advance order is required.

Typhoon Shelter Crab 避风塘辣蟹 is something we can only see from TVB dramas or HK movies; we can only drool in front of the TV… or we can head to Causeway Bay for it?! but… Causeway Bay is located in Hong Kong…  🙁 *** Good

Benkay Japanese Restaurant @ Nikko Hotel KL

I made sushi rolls and temaki, sometimes, for my family. However, those I made were not up to the standard and not as pretty as those from the restaurant (but still edible). These are the best looking one i have made. The others were either 

Half Price Dim Sum @ Cheers Palace, Cheras

Half Price Dim Sum @ Cheers Palace, Cheras

I discovered another great place to go for dim sum, which is just 3 minutes drive way from my house; serving yummy dim sum and best of all, the dim sum(s) (steamed and stir fried/fried items only) are half price during weekdays lunch hours!!!

Cheers Palace – located next to Cheras Autocity; was previously known as Unique Fisherman Seafood Restaurant has now become my favourite place for lunch. Besides dim sum, there are quite a number of dishes such as various noodles, fried rice, veges, tofu, fish… on the lunch promotion menu. The good thing is, the price; the items on the menu are priced from RM 8 onwards!!! 

DSC_3670

Steamed Siew Mai (n/p: RM 6.80) – a must-order item whenever you are in any dim sum place. this restaurant serves good siew mai. The size for the siew mai(s) was big and the minced pork in it was very flavourful

Szechuan Dumpling with Prawn (n/p: RM 4.20)

Steamed Cheung Fun with BBQ (n/p: RM 8.80)

Pan Fried Carrot Cake with XO Sauce (n/p: RM 7.00) – love its spiciness and it was real fragrant.

DSC_3658

Deep Fried Banana and Redbean Pancake (n/p: RM 4.80) – ohh, love the lil sweet pancake. banana and red bean – quite a surprising combination .

Deep Fried Bean Curd with Prawn Roll (n/p: RM 6.80) – huge prawns wrapped up with the fu chok. love this with mayonnaise 🙂

DSC_3648

We ordered half of the Peking Duck. (RM 20 – the promotion price). The crispy duck skin is made into rolls with additional of the spring onions and special sweet sauce.

DSC_3681

as for the duck meats, it will go with either fried rice or noodles (RM 20 – which is included in promotion item) . we opted for the noodles that came with real wok hei

***

Our bill came was about RM 65 in total (inclusive of tit bits and Chinese tea priced at RM 1.50 per head; and we duplicated a few orders on dim sum selection). it was really quite a deal to have their half price dim sum (50% off) which is only available during weekdays lunch hours. The size of the dim sum(s) is huge and they are good except for the steamed cheung fun which was not that silky smooth and warm enough. Service may not be as attentive as you think but then, all the food will be on your table very promptly. 

Unable to make it during weekdays? 
Nevermind as they are having weekends dim sum promotion too at 30% discount (from 9.30 in the morning till late noon if i am not mistaken). 🙂
