Reunion for Mid-Autumn Festival @ Toh Yuen
August
1, 2018
The
qipao is the highlight at Hilton Petaling Jaya’s Mid-Autumn Festival this year.
This design of premium boxes themed Oriental Delights are available at Toh
Yuen, its Chinese restaurant, with a delectable selection of baked and snow
skin mooncakes.
Mooncakes
in Premium Boxes are RM135 with 4 various flavours while a standard box is RM110.
Toh
Yuen’s pastry chefs have retained classic flavours for its baked mooncakes with
nine flavours to choose from, such as White Lotus Paste, White Lotus Paste with
Single Yolk, Pandan Paste with Single Yolk, Red Bean Paste with Almond Flakes,
Green Tea with Pistachio Nuts, Black Sesame Paste, Pumpkin with Sunflower Seeds
priced at RM28 and Mixed Five Nuts and Purple Sweet Potato priced at RM32.
The
snow skin mooncakes are Tiramisu and White Lotus with Sunflower Seed (RM25) and
Purple Sweet Potato, the all-time favourite Chocolate Pistachio Indulgence and
Golden Bamboo with Black Sesame Paste (RM28).
Also
available until Sept 24, 2018 is the Mid-Autumn Reunion Set Dinner (RM1, 388
per table of 10), a traditional eight-course meal highlighting Cantonese
cuisine.
At
a preview, we start with Prosperous Four Season Reunion Hot & Cold
Combination. Artfully arranged on plates placed at various heights, it’s a
pretty picture. There’s chilled marinated jellyfish (winter), stirfried sweet
pea with clams and celery (spring), seafood-stuffed gluten balls tossed with
red dragonfruit mayo (summer) and almond-crusted parcels of smoked chicken
(autumn).
Hot & Cold Combination of Four Seasons |
Then
diners refresh their palates with Double Boiled Japanese Conch & Chicken
Soup. Double-boiled for six hours, the soup is slurpilicious to the last drop
and filled with goodness from the chicken, conch, dried scallop, mushroom and
wolfberries.
Wok Fried Himalayan Salt & Chilli Sea Prawn and Deep Fried Garoupa Fillet with Silky Butter Corn Sauce |
The
next two items – Wok Fried Himalayan Salt & Chili Sea Prawn and
Deep
Fried Garoupa Fillet with Silky Butter Corn Sauce – are served together.
Deboned and cut in thick chunks, the fish is battered, deepfried and tossed in
a smooth sauce with hints of fresh corn aroma.
The slightly butterflied prawns, however, require a little work on the
part of the diner. Do ask for cutlery if needed as the prawns are not shelled
which is unfortunate as the taste doesn’t really get into the prawn flesh.
Claypot Mushroom With Top Shell & Broccoli |
The
Claypot Mushroom with Top Shell & Broccoli is a delicious combination.
While the Japanese conch in the soup was chewy, the top shell is soft and easy
to eat. The dry mushrooms are thick and fat, the broccoli fresh and
crunchy.
Delectable Egg Fried Mee Suah with Crabmeat & Mushroom |
Next
is Chef Ric’s Egg Fried Mee Suah with Crabmeat & Mushroom. There’s a
gorgeous aroma of smoke coming from the noodles and the addition of beansprout
gives it a nice crunch.
Dessert
is Chilled Peach Resin in Dried Longan Syrup and Toh Yuen’s signature
mooncakes, of course.
Mooncakes
are available at Toh Yuen Restaurant, 1Utama Shopping Mall and Sunway Velocity
Mall. Holders of CIMB, Citibank, HSBC, Standard Chartered, OCBC or Hong Leong
Bank will get a 20% discount for a box of four mooncakes.
