The Emperor's ambience and food might not be dazzling, but it's still a solid choice for dinner. The MIGF menu here costs RM240++ with wine. Steamed cod with braised preserved veggies, topped with superior soya sauce. Terrific texture, but a bit too bland to leave a lasting impression. Roasted marinated rack of lamb with raisin reduction.

Roasted marinated rack of lamb with raisin reduction. Our favorite dish of the evening. The lamb was astonishingly tender; if Wagyu lamb existed, it would taste like this. The raisin reduction was a stroke of genius, rendering the meat sweet without being cloying.
Chilled pumpkin cream with Sweet Fancy Duet (on the left, a layer cake of pandan, durian & sweet corn, and on the right, yam tempura).
We also ordered items from the regular a la carte menu. The crispy shredded beef "Beijing-style" was addictive, though it barely tasted like beef. More like junk food for munching.
Braised beef rib drizzled with coffee sauce and topped with almond flakes. Flavourful and well-marinated, but slightly overcooked.
Braised Bai Ling mushrooms with truffle jus & veggies. Healthy but unmemorable.
Durian tempura. Absolutely stunning; one of the best desserts we've had this year. The batter was warm & crunchy, while the fresh durian puree inside remained cold & creamy.
