DucKing

One of the best-experienced Chinese fine dining.. @ DucKing (aka 王帝鸭). You have the budget, you got to try!!

Some of the highlights..

How sauna prawns are cooked..

Sauna prawns ready to serve..

Nice butter crab (if I remember it right) and specially cooked rice with fried pork fat..

Roast pork and roast duck.. (regretfully the roast duck is just “ordinary”, nothing special.. even though they called themselves DucKing..)

Steamed Tiger Grouper.. and 2-style Kai Lan..

A really nice place to dine! And reservation of table saves your time queuing and waiting to be seated! :)

Home Made Fish Head Noodle

Wonder what is fish head noodle? A local Chinese delicacy not as common elsewhere. A not really popular thing among youngsters but it can mean a lot to some people.. like my parents are really into it!

Basically fish head noodle does not really served with “thick noodle”.. but meephun (or vermicelli)! Fish head is chopped and fried into crispy; soup is cooked with tomatoes and marinated veggies (some must-have ingredients) and MILK!! Yes, it’s milk and that’s why milky colour!

This one in Mid Valley is not bad! Go try!!

Lion Dance

One of the tradition to repel evil spirits and bring prosperity.. and Malaysia has its world champion lion dance!! I can still recall lion dance is more common during my childhood time.. which it is something you would never miss during CNY..

 

It’s now lucky if you managed to meet one! It’s more than surprise when I meet one in SCB!! Just nice and awesome! It means more than just a dance! I had a strong lucky feeling!! ^^V

As majority of Malaysian Chinese is ancestrally originated from south China.. South Lion Dance is more commonly practiced than North Lion Dance.

石好

恭喜恭喜！大年初一，兼情人节快乐！

今天的特备节目是“花田囍事2010”在Times Square！

BBQ Plaza 没开，我们到“石好”试一试！

看看它的menu，挺搞笑的！它有好多“镇店之宝”喔！

我们是第一次，也就点了几样“镇店之宝”！

这是“镇店之宝”饮料，百味香！感觉？普通！=.="

这也是“镇店之宝”，宫廷鱼！其实是一鱼两味！“唔多掂”wor！

嘿，这也是“镇店之宝”喔！回香鸡！也是一鸡两味！

这边的还好，鸡块有辣椒蟹的味道，是因为用了辣椒蟹的常用调味手法！另一边的就只不过是酱油鸡！

蜜瓜西米露。还是“麻麻地”罢了！

10头鲍鱼佛跳墙，汤的味道不错！柳丝上汤鱼翅也ok喔！只是火腿让羹的味道有点咸！

特价品，主席鸡！名字都怪怪的。。RM3.50 一只！其实是童子鸡。

川椒玉环炸鲜鱿！失败！淡而无味！

“花田囍事2010”如何？“得啖笑”啰！

Lou Sang

‘Lou Sang’ simple means mixing the raw in Cantonese.. refers to a kind of salads with raw fish served only during the Chinese New Year in Malaysia. It is interesting to note that this delicacy is practiced only by Malaysian Chinese.. and in a lesser extent by Chinese of neighbouring countries.

The term ‘Lou Sang’ actually depicts the action how the dish is served. Salads of various colours, crispy crackers and sliced raw fish (sliced abalone and sliced jelly fish are optional) are served and these ingredients are carried up high using chopsticks and mixed up by the diners.

The dish is more appropriately referred as Yee Sang (raw fish) during Chinese New Year. It is a special dish to ‘bring up’ the ‘prosperity’ and it carries the people’s hope for best luck, health and wealth for the coming whole year.

So, let’s ‘lou sang’!!

Roaring Year of Tiger

It’s the roaring Year of Tiger this 2010!!

Chinese New Year or the Lunar New Year is the first and the most important traditional Chinese festival of the year!

Chinese festivals can be grouped into 2: one based on the Lunar Calendar, i.e. the moon; and the other based on the Jie Qi (节气), i.e. the 24 seasons.

Hence, festivals based on Jie Qi, like Dong Zhi and Qing Ming, will almost always fall on the same date in the Gregorian calendar every year. And festivals based on the Lunar Calendar (in fact a Lunisolar Calendar by Chinese), like New Year and Mid-Autumn festival, will go according to the Lunar Calendar, which may shuffle each year in the Gregorian Calendar.

Most celebration customs and rituals are basically to welcome luck and to repel evils!

Being the second largest ethnic group in Malaysia, Chinese New Year is celebrated widely in the nation, and the Capital welcomes a brief moment of peace.. less crowd and no traffic jam..

GONG XI FA CAI!!
