As I return home on 2nd day of Chinese New Year, there were friends gathering, house visiting and not forgetting a family dinner which is the most important part.
To avoid the festive crowds in restaurants, we decided to dine at The Royale Bintang Resort & Spa. Mom gave the suggestion on Han Pi Yuan, a Chinese Restaurant after she read some good reviews from the newspaper. Apparently, Han Pi Yuan serves Halal Chinese food.
To my surprise; there were only 2 tables of guests having their meals there. Where are all the people in Seremban?? Is it because the service is bad? Too expensive? Or food is bad? Let me try it….
well lighted and looking pleasant
Well; we went for ‘Chinese New Year Menu’ package. Which consists of 9 dishes (including dessert) served for 10 pax. Moreover the price seems to be affordable too. Just RM438++ (imposed of 10% service charge & 6% government tax).
Prosperity Jellyfish & Pear Yee Sang
This dish will normally serves at the beginning of the meal. Yee Sang or Lo Hei or better known as Prosperity Toss symbolized abundance, prosperity and vigor.
“All diners at the table then stand up and on cue, proceed to toss the shredded ingredients into the air with chopsticks while saying various “auspicious wishes” out loud, or simply “撈起, 撈起”. It is believed that the height of the toss reflects the height of the diner’s growth in fortunes, thus diners are expected to toss enthusiastically.” (extract from wikipedia)
Braised Shark’s Fin Soup with Crabmeat
The usual shark’s fin soup. Good that this isn’t too starchy.
Roasted Chicken Shatin with Prawn Cracker
This dish is quite unique. The chick were deep fried. A credit to it because it ain’t too oily. No doubt its small, but its tasty.
Wok Fried Prawn with Spicy Sauce
The prawns size are quite big. Moreover the prawns are very fresh.
Steamed Sea Bass Fish with Quality Soya Sauce
Braised Two Varieties of Mushroom with Dried Oyster & Vegetable
Am so sorry. I was too busy eating till I forgotten to take a photo of the “Fragrant Fried Rice in Lotus Leaf”. It must be too nice till I’ve forgotten ^^
Double Boiled Longan with White Fungus
Food : 4/5 (satisfying meal with big portion of food)
Price : 4/5 (worth eating)
Ambiance : 4/5
Service : 2.5/5 (waiters are kinda inexperience & inefficient)
