Majestic Restaurant is the only restaurant in New Majestic Hotel. The cozy and arty boutique hotel’s lobby was filled with huge tables. It was the seventh day of Chinese New Year and it was an auspicious day… the restaurant was fully booked.
We were seated comfortably in a cozy private room away from the noisy crowd. In fact, we were the noisy ones too… hahaha…. We have pre-ordered the menu and man… it was indeed a great menu!
For starters, we had the Lo Hei with salmon & Hokkaido scallops. Though it wasn’t that traditional but somehow it tasted good. Next was everyone’s favorite – double boiled shark’s cartilage soup with shark’s fin. ULTRA YUMMY! Rie couldn’t make it as she was too busy preparing her up & coming conference. KK, you missed it! Anyway, we had an extra bowl of shark’s fin soup and we shared among us. Later did we found out that Suganou-san did not have any shark’s fin in his soup! He mentioned that there were only 2 tiny mushrooms and the clear soup in his bowl! *FAINT*
We immediately complaint to the waiter and we were compensated with another bowl of shark’s fin soup just for our boss. We were puzzled why he didn’t even notice there wasn’t any shark’s fin in his soup!!! SUPER BLUR!!!
The steam grouper with soya sauce was pretty tasty though it has never been my favorite. The next dish was baked boston lobster with egg yolks. It was yummy but man… super high cholesterol lor… but I finished it la…
Their ‘peng chai’ was very good. It wasn’t too big but just nice for party of 10. I thoroughly enjoyed the tendons & trotters which was extremely soft and tasty! The sauce for the peng chai was really perfect combination with white rice… Steam rice with Chinese sausage & preserved meat was next… the rice was fragrance though it was simple.
The dessert was one of the highlight for the dinner. Double-boiled bird’s nest with rock sugar. It was very delicious and we could really taste the bird’s nest. Finally, the layered durian nian gao was served. It was not too bad but I would prefer the durian fruit on its own.
Fantastic menu and we all had a heavy belly when we leave the restaurant…. Thank you Suganou-san for the great reunion dinner!
Gong Xi Fa Cai!
