I haven't been here since this hotel has been renamed to Dorsett. We found that there is a Chinese restaurant located on the 2nd floor and they are currently offering 15% discount off the bill as an opening offer. The restaurant is part of the hotel therefore it feels a lot fancier than other Chinese tea house. The menu features traditional Chinese dishes with a lot of fresh seafood selections and fine small bites. When I was poured with some Chinese tea, I found that 有朋自遠行來 because there is a p

The restaurant is part of the hotel therefore it feels a lot fancier than other Chinese tea house. The menu features traditional Chinese dishes with a lot of fresh seafood selections and fine small bites. When I was poured with some Chinese tea, I found that 有朋自遠行來 because there is a piece of tea stump standing right in the tea! What a coincidence!
We have then started nibbling on two of the appetisers while waiting for our dishes to come. On the left, there is wasabi cucumber, while on the right, there is the fungus with vinegar. They are both very refreshing and light, the mix of sour and spicy taste awaken our palettes indeed!
Deep fried tofu topped with shichimi togarashi $69When it comes to deep fried tofu cubes like this, it's all about the silkiness and they have definitely nailed it. The tofu itself is extremely smooth and soft that it is almost like molten, while the batter is seamlessly thin with a dust of 7 spices on top yet not too spicy to overpower the soy taste from the tofu itself! It's simple and on point!
Deep fried chicken wings stuffed with glutinous rice $68/eachThese wings are stuffed beautifully with a lot of sticky glutinous rice jam packed in the whole thing. The skin has been deep fried perfectly until a perfect crunch! It's so crispy that you can literally cut the wings into half using the china spoon effortlessly. The wings have been marinated with soya sauce, a perfect compliment with the savoury sticky rice. It's crispy on the outside, and fluffy and chewy on the inside. A side of vinegar is great to counterbalance the richness from these cute little bite size wings.
Fish maw soup with Morel mushroom $498/regularNothing more traditional than a good old double boiled soup. The clear soup has been cooked for long hours until all the flavours from the ingredients get dissolved into the soup itself yet remaining a clear light yellowish colour. The soup is naturally sweet from the morel, chicken feet, dried scallop, and much more. It's not as gelatine-y as I was expected in a fish maw soup though you can still find pieces of it in the residues of the soup. However, it's still a very enjoyably healthy and heart warming soup to savour in this cold weather!
Stir fried sea slug $388Sea slug may freak some of my Westerners friend out but it is indeed one of the precious creature in Cantonese cuisine. A whole giant piece of quality sea slug has been chopped into pieces then prepared with some mixed ingredients to bring an its extra flavour, served in a heated pot. We have also noticed that some big dried shrimps are used to promote a kind of uniquely flavourful sweet and savoury seafood taste to the dish. The sea slug is soft but chewy at the same time after absorbing all the goodness from the rich flavourful sauce, I kind of wish that I can have a bowl of steamed rice for me to mix in all the aromatic juice at the bottom of the pot!
Simmered rice with assorted meat in pot $238We need to "Gather the aroma from the rice" as we said in Cantonese culture. Thus, some sort of rice dishes are not un-common in Cantonese dining experiences. With no exception, we have ordered a steaming hot pot of rice being simmered in a cloudy seafood soup. It's an almost milky soup as it has probably been prepared with fresh fish and lots of seafood including prawns, scallops, and some sliced Chinese kale. Some freshly deep fried crispy rice puff is on the side for you to add into the rice to your liking, just to give it an extra bite of crunchiness because it is almost like congee to me.
Fish maw with Cai Miau vegetableCan I have more fish maw please? Giant pieces of fish maws are brought to us and we can instantly smell the flavour from its sauce. The fish maws are thick and sticky, a bit bigger than the ones used for the double boiled soup. Yet not the best piece of fish maw I have ever had in my life, it is a decent piece with good flavour and elasticity. I can eat this over and over again every single day! Don't forget to try some of the veggies at the bottom as they have already absorbed all the flavours from the maws.
Boiled fish with pickled cabbage and chilli $4xxWe were recommended with this fish and the price is based on the type of the fish. We were offered with the option of mandarin fish as they are currently in season and possibly the best kind of fish to go with this combination. The whole fish is then cooked for us in whole, along with a generous amount of pickled cabbage and some clear noodles in a cloudy sweet and sour broth. A lot of different kinds of chilli are used so It is quite a spicy dish and you can instantly feel the heat from your throat to your head. I wouldn't say it's the best dish to enjoy with people who cannot handle spicy food because the spiciness has overkilled the dish, while in fact the the taste from the fish and the soup itself are actually separated apart
Sweet and sour pork $168We were told that they have used a traditional way to prepare their sweet and sour pork. The taste is not much different from our familiar taste yet with a perfectly balanced sweet and sour level. On the the hand, I really appreciate the thin batter that they use. Thin strips of pork is sliced and deep fried until slightly crunchy but also slightly chewy on the outside. It's pretty soothing especially after a long meal and I am surprised that this dish came at a later stage of the meal.
Overall, it's a decent restaurant with presentable food, a great place for group gatherings or functions. Do expect there are groups here and there as it is located inside of a hotel. The price is at mid-range and the quality has met our expectation. My personal favourite would be their stuffed wings with sticky rice because it's nicely done inside out. All the ingredients complimented everything nicely and I can easily down a few of them!
