Uh well, we'd been discussing and planning for this special day since then. It came to a decision for a more luxurious decorated restaurant. The reason behind was, to PHOTO-BOOM of course! :P
You could have heard about QEII in Penang. What about Chin's restaurant? Honored as one of the top fine-dining chinese restaurant in Malaysia, it is strategically located in the heart of Georgetown. It prides itself to offer an affordable luxury combining delightful cuisines and fashionable decors.
So here we are. We reached before evening and managed to have a fascinating view of QEII. It was a sunny day though.
Behind the scene. Oops!
Uh what?
Okay enough enough~ Here we go!
The signboard of the restaurant. Grandiose!
Simply love the design of the entrance! It's the time when east meets west!
We were leaded to our dining table attentively.
What's more was, each of us got a different design!
Compilation of my favorite plate-arts. To my knowledge, they are for sale exclusively here.
Oh ya, a friendly reminder - make sure you selfie with the plate first before they are collected by the dining attendants. Too bad, the plates are not meant to be used.
The table setting is enriched with traditional chinese culture. Behind us are the tall shelves displaying wide selection of wines for diners to choose from.
We kicked off our meal with a variety of cold and hot starters. Oh ya, I'd love to mention this. The lighting in the dining hall is dear and near to my heart! There is a spotlight on each dining table. Thanks to that!
Century eggs in grilled pepper - topped with luscious sauce
Behind are garlic cucumber and Hunan shredded seaweed, giving an appetizing bite.
Sesame prawns on toast - crispy and delightful
Heavenly blessed joysticks - Skewer presented with baby abalone, seashell meat and sea fungus. The immersing oil is spicy and pungent. Not a taste of mine though.
**Blessed joysticks ("Shang Shang Qian") denotes an easy draw in chinese lots.
Fried golden needle mushrooms - I love the way the taste enhanced with red chilies
The next is the specialties of Chin's - Aromatic Crispy duck.
Personally I dislike duck meat except this one.
The duck is shredded at the table end and you have to assemble the meat yourselves.
Tadaa! My very own piece of crispy duck roll on a thin sheet of pancake, accompanied with scallions, cucumber and hoisin sauce.
Make sure you add some chili padi and the taste would become much more pleasing!
The main course includes double flavored wild fresh water fish, cumin mutton skewers, hot wok mixed seafood, "Gele mountain" hot chicken, sauteed hot & sour chinese cabbage and fragrant plain rice. I missed the photos because I went to the washroom and then, only managed to capture on the mutton skewers. Yes, you can see how tasty the dishes are as awfully, my friends didn't even wait for me and ate them all. Ouch! >.<
The dishes came in a generous portion and prepared in a twist of dedicating savory. Remarkably, the poultry was tender and perfectly matched with the unique sauce and fragrance.
The steamed fish is behind the mutton skewers, if you could see it.
The dessert - pumpkin cake with sweetened bean paste. It combines my favorite pumpkin and red bean paste for a delightful twist!
Another dessert is a vanilla ice-cream topped with a milk chocolate. Girls always have a second stomach for dessert, yes or no?
The way up to the upstair. Colorful lightning.
Discovered another exquisite dining hall upstairs after dinner.
Walking out from the glass door, wow!
The spectacular night view of QEII
