Executive Chef Alex Leong & Ivana Foo, Director Of Sales & Marketing, Eastin Hotel Kuala Lumpur
Ee Chinese Cuisine's Chinese executive chef Alex helms the creation of an exquisite yet modest meal which is later paired with extraordinary mooncakes. I can never miss my date with them trying out my favourite chef's dishes at any of their media tasting events. Let's me take you on a gastronomic journey of Chef Alex's presentation of his signature favourites with a total of a seven-course meal.
RM 38 Per portion
Dinner started off with Eastin's Deluxe Three Combination Platter. The star of this dish is the Salted Egg Oyster. A big juicy Canadian Oyster is wrapped with a crispy layer of deep fried Salted Eggs Crust. A nice feel of crispy salty taste on other outside and married with the succulent taste of the large oyster. Simply heavenly!
The second combo is the Scallop Yam Basket; the scallop together with a piece of banana is nicely wrapped with the shredded Yam and deep fried to a light crunch. The third combo is the Steamed Crabmeat Ball serve in a Champagne glass which provides a lighter taste. A superb combination that highlights all the different seafood taste in one platter.
Easing the senses after a long work day, the Double Boiled Dried Scallop Top Shell and Fish Maw Soup is an ideal way to start dinner. This is one of the dishes at Ee Chinese Cuisine that we always look forward to is their double boiled soup. One can taste the encompassing all natural flavours of the ingredient till the last drop. Served hot; it is a real delight to start the dinner with this tummy warming delight.
RM 120 Per duck
Coming up next is Ee Chinese Cuisine must have and customer's favourite - chef Alex specialty Roasted Crispy Pi Pa Duck. Pipa duck is sliced and spread flat during the cooking process into a shape that resembles the Chinese musical instrument - Pipa or Chinese lute.
Chef Alex's Pi Pa Duck recipe lies in the special marinade sauce that is spread onto the duck cavities. Left to a slow natural air drying process to allow a deeper infusion of flavours into the meat. The complete drying will result in a really thin and crispy skin.
Roasted with perfection that is evident by the crispy crackling skin with a moist tender texture duck meat. A wonderful delight to be eaten with a bowl of steaming white rice with a dollop of gravy. Highly recommended to try when dining here.

Next is a fish dish; we were served the Steamed River Patin With Preserved Vegetables & Onion in Superior Soya Sauce. Not many restaurants take up the challenge to serve steam fresh water fish as it can be very challenging and not a simple task; firstly is to ensure that you have a good quality stock, to begin with.
Paired with a preserved vegetables that offer a special taste and with the superior soya sauce coupled with the nice texture of the meat; it was a job well done by the Chef. The fish was super fresh and we ate everything down to the bones!
Our last main for the night was the Stir Fried Prawn, Homemade Beancurd and Broccoli with Spicy Sauce. This dish was presented in 2 cooking style namely stir fried and steam. The homemade bean curd was soft, smooth and silky was topped with a layer of chopped spinach.
What's more amazing was that the whole dish was served on a bed of steamed eggs which many have mistaken it for the gravy. Garnished with poached Brocolli in the middle and topped with the Spicy Stir Fried Prawn making it into a 2 dishes.
Ending our night, the chef serves us the Stir Fried Soy Noodles With Shredded Chicken and Dried Shrimp to ensure we go home with a filled tummy.
RM 18 Per portion
