Eating out: Shanghai, JW Marriot

non-halal



Dad wanted to dine finely on the eve. Since we're in Pavilion, we headed to Shanghai Restaurant in JW Marriot Hotel for lunch. 5 of us, with popo and yima, had dim sum there. We always like its dim sum, with a kick of Shanghainese flavor.


Braised duck tongue, RM16

I don't eat spare parts at all, but this is an exception. This duck tongue can totally quack! I mean delicious :P It can either be eaten as either cold/hot appetizer.


Baked Biscuit, RM25

This is absolutely a must if you're there. The outer layer is crispy and soft filling. In it, there are spring onions, diced mushroom and other ingredients. Caution: hot filling!


Shanghainese Ramen, RM18

This is so-so. Nothing to brag about. Other than this noodle, we had the transparent flat noodle. That is much tastier.


Stir-fry Yam Cake, RM9

Totally different from the usual radish/turnip cake. This tastes better, non-oily and refreshing as it's something different.


Prawn & Scallop Cheong Fun, RM12

The flat noodle is really soft and chewy.


Pan fried vegetable dumpling, RM12.50

I absolutely love this vegetable dumplings. The lower layer is crunchy and top layer is chewy, combined with the spring onions filling, made it perfect.


Custard Bun, RM15

For dessert, each of us had custard bun. The filling oozed out the moment we split the bun into half.

Other than these that I posted, we also ordered Siu Long Bao, Salmon Yee Sang, noodle and few other dim sum. In total, we paid about RM300. Worth every penny as you can't have this elsewhere, especially the duck tongue and the transparent flat noodle. A great way to end the year with great food!



CarolineL wishes all of you a fantastic 2009!
