This is a gathering of all food bloggers aka foodies for Chinese New Year 2016 on the eve of Hokkien CNY on Chor 8. We had it in Pang's Kitchen, Hong Kong one-Michellin star restaurant at Taman Desa. I never even know there is such a place here, snuck right inside the office building. I was running late from work so everyone was practically waiting for me starving.
We started the dinner with Yee Sang, the typical CNY way. It costs RM 68 for half a plate.
This is followed by the dishes below all in very small portions:
1. Braised Beancurd with Fresh Mushroom (RM 18)
This came with Xiao Pai Chai and also too thick sauce with a lot of corn flour. The tofu are ok but I cannot agree with over thick sauce. Do you know corn flours makes you fat?
2. Crispy Chicken with Garlic (RM 38) - Half
The chicken is the smallest and driest I have ever tasted and loses to even the normal chicken at the chicken rice stall, for usual price of only RM 6 even for drumstick. The price is also too expensive.
3. Scramble Milk with Scallop (RM 38)
When this dish arrived, I was taken aback. I mistaken it for stir fried rubbery egg white as it tasted like this. I even tried to remove all the curdled egg as I am not use to it. To me, expensive delicacy like scallop should be served steamed/grilled to retain its freshness rather than having its taste being over enveloped by milk.
4. Sweet and Sour Pork Rib with Strawberry (RM 33)
By then, my friend was frantically looking for the strawberry. When I was not looking for this, the strawberry popped up. There were tiny preserved strawberries sprinkled all round the sweet and sour sauce. The pork rib was not bad, just that it was too sweet with all the sweet and sour sauce.
5. Stir Fried Kailan with Shrimp Paste in Claypot (RM 25)
I rarely order kailan in restaurants because I thought it is a cheap dish. But this time, the serving style in a claypot retained the taste, freshness, crisp and also the fragrance of the frying.
The Pu-Er tea costs RM 24.50 and also RM 12 for five bowls of white rice.

I agree with you about the Chicken, it's not worth in my opinion. My favourite dish has to be the tofu, minus the thick sauce ;P
