Janice was elated to savor some of the wonderful dishes with lots of Ginseng inside, one I'm not too fond of, but I do appreciate the healthy aspect of these delicious dishes. Our first single portion serving dish was the Double-boiled Fresh Ginseng Chicken Soup with Dried Scallops & Golden Corn. The name itself was a giveaway to its ingredients, which was basically double boiled chicken soup with a heavy flavour of Ginseng. The dried scallops and golden corn thrown inside added to the flavour, giving a sweet and savory taste to the dish.

 
Almost similar to the first dish, the Double-boiled Fresh Ginseng Chicken Soup with Rose & Snowy Lily Bulbs had an even stronger taste of ginseng, probably due to the rather big piece of ginseng root thrown inside the soup. Double-boiled and brewed for a very long period, what differentiates this dish was the Rose and Lily bulbs contained inside. Pretty good stuff here I would say, and lovers of Ginseng soup would love this.

 
If you're not so into soups, then go for their other choices on the Tai Thong Nourishing Ginseng Series menu. At a similar price of RM18++ per portion, you can choose the Fresh Ginseng Broth with Dried Scallops & Bean Curd. I personally liked this dish more, as the dried scallop added flavour to the dish, with the bean curd giving that extra texture without being overpowered by too much Ginseng taste. The Ginseng taste is still there, but slightly milder compared to the previous soup dishes.

 
Even though they came in single portion servings, but I would think the servings were rather large, good to be shared by two persons, or when sharing just order two different dishes instead. Our next dish served that night was the Fresh Ginseng Broth with Duo Scallop, perfect for diners looking to have the luxury of eating huge fresh scallops served together with really nourishing Ginseng.

Porcelene Jazz OK Jan 14, 2014

Porcelene Jazz, the latest night spot around Damansara Perdana opened its doors for the media launch last night. The grand launch will be happening soon. Located in Empire Damansara Perdana, it was my first time there, soaking in the very new building atmosphere and ambiance.

 
The NYC short ribs were served buffet style, meaning I could take as many servings as I wanted, a good thing. Comprising of succulent and tender beef ribs, glazed with BBQ sauce, I have to say this dish had to be one of my favourite that night. The meat literally fell off the bones, requiring nearly no effort to chew due to its tenderness.

 

 
Not a very big fan of clams or seafood, the Paella De El Submarino Amarillo did look very appetizing. I had a bit, and that was about it I guess. The other dish shown above, the Cajun Cutlets was more suitable for my palette. The chargrilled lamb cutlets were placed beautifully for our pickings, topped with homemade Cajun spices.

In recent times there have been a sudden increase in Japanese restaurants, mainly due to the increase in awareness by the general public on the intricacies of Japanese cuisine. Fast forward, a new outlet dedicated solely to preparing and serving good Japanese udon have been opened recently in Midvalley Megamall. Aptly named Manmaru Udon, I had the opportunity to dine there with a wonderful bunch of like minded people the other day.

 

 
The Niku Udon served, which happens to have my favourite beef slices inside, came in a rather large bowl filled with udon, sliced beef and spinach. The soup itself had a really nice beefy flavour to it. I must say I liked the thin slices of beef inside, as they were really tender, without being too chewy, going well with the fat slippery udon.

 

 
The subsequent two Udon dishes served were the Cream Corn Udon and the Kamaage Udon. Generous amounts of corns were thrown into a creamy based soup, offering a tasty thick soup type of texture for the Cream Corn Udon. As for the Kamaage Udon, it was basically an Al dente style udon served in a bowl of warm kamaage sauce. Basic, but goes well with the accompanying sauce.

 

 
The Kake Udon served was a basic dish, where one can choose to order should you prefer a classic style soy udon. Nothing spectacular there, just a classic Udon dish. The Japanese Curry Udon however had a very heavy curry-like taste to it. One thing about Japanese curries are that they are not spicy, but have this creamy, sweet taste to it. I liked this dish a lot though, probably because my taste buds are accustomed to highly flavoured offerings.

 
If you would like to have a taste of cold udon, then go for the Zaru Udon, a cold udon dish. I was told this was an all time favourite cold udon dish. Well to each his own, I still prefer my Udons in piping hot soup. The Ume Udon was a refreshing dish, served with pickled plums that tantalize the taste buds.

Signature by The Hill @ The Roof 1 First Avenue has opened its doors to patrons and diners a couple of weeks back. The grand launch however are still in the works. I had the opportunity to check out some of their signature dishes through a short review session aimed at introducing or activating the full menu. Hence the title of this post, "full menu activation".

 
Arriving at The Roof rather early, we were warmly welcomed by the staffs, ensuring our needs were well taken care of throughout the whole night. It was to be a food and cocktail photo taking session, where we were introduced to a total of five Signature's yummy dishes, and six cocktails. To kick off the meal, Tortilla chips with the customary beef sauce and cheese were served. I will never say no to chips, hence it was a great start to the night.

 
Now I'm a big fan of soft shell crabs, no matter how it is being presented, whether it's on a handroll, or in this case in a big bowl of salad. The Soft Shell Crab Salad by Signature came in a rather big bowl, with generous amounts of soft shell crabs thrown into the mix. Served with red radish, Kyuri, cherry tomatoes, and salad in signature wafu dressing, it served as the perfect starter dish.

 
Up next was the Signature Grilled Salmon Pasta, served with a huge piece of grilled salmon on a bed of spaghetti with mild spicy creamed tomato sauce, topped with these leafy arugula. Served hot, straight from the kitchen, I have no complaints here on the taste. The pasta went well with my palette, and so did the grilled salmon, albeit I only had a few bites of the salmon.

 

 
Signature's Grilled Caramel Oxtail was an interpretation of the "sup ekor", where the oxtails were flame grilled with herbed infused caramel. The Oxtail was served with the accompanying soup, made from beef and vegetable broth. Not a very big fan of oxtails, I do not know how to fully appreciate the meat. The camarel sauce was good though, providing a sweet flavour to the grilled meat.

 
Served on a chopping board of sorts, the Brontosaurus Beef Ribs dish was gigantic. Being a beef rib lover, it does look very inviting, especially with the shine and sheer size of the beef ribs. Served with spicy wedges and mixed salad, I did however find the meat a tad too hard for my liking. Other than that, the sauce did more than make up for it.

Arriving at the restaurant just in time to catch their usual buffet dinner, but we were there to try out their Christmas & New Year's festive dining dishes. It was indeed a colourful affair, with an extensive range of delicious salads and fresh seafood, traditional Christmas meats and yummy desserts.

I must say, some of the dishes were too pretty to be eaten, especially the Christmas Pudding With Vanilla Sauce which came with these Christmas decorations on top which were edible too. Anyway these were a few pretty dishes which I had that night, let's move on to some of the mains, appetizers and salads.

 
One of the main course served that evening was the really huge Traditional Christmas Roast Turkey. It was a huge serving to be shared among family and friends, with walnut stuffing accompanied with Giblet gravy and cranberry sauce. Personally I liked this dish, even though turkey isn't my favourite poultry, the meat here came off being tender and sweet.

 
We ended the rather "healthy" Christmas meal with some really sweet desserts. Indulging in some dessert favorites such as Christmas Pudding with Vanilla Sauce, the Classic Yule Log Cake, Fruit Mince Pies, and another classic, the Christmas Stollen, we were spoilt for choices that wonderful evening
