Chyna- KL Hilton

Last week, I managed to had my luxury dinner at Chyna in KL Hilton with 3 of my friends. Chyna is a Halal Chinese restaurant that served wide variety of Chinese cuisines.

I was late to the dinner, my friends had decided to ordered a 7 course meal for dinner. Chyna 7 course meal is served individually for every fined cuisine. Unlike other course meal, it is normally served in a single big portion and share among others.

Below are the 7 course meal we had that night... Yummy...

  • The four season

The four season is one of the best course in this meal. It is consists of a siu mai (on the spoon), lightly pan fried salmon, fresh salad prawn and a grilled scallop. The siu mai is made of fish and chicken, served hot and fresh! The salmon is finished with some cranberries sauce to add more flavours on it. Both the prawn and scallop are very fresh!! Yummy!!

  • Buddha jump over the wall


Next was the 'soup of the night' , Buddha Jump over the Wall! It consits of lots of shark fins, chicken breast meats, sliced of abalone and scallop. There are really a lot of shark fins inside the soup! The soup is not too salty , just nice.. No taste of MSG! All the ingredients and herbs had certainly add a lot of flavours to the soup! Feel very warm after drinking this soup!! Yummy!

  • Steam Cod Fish

A very simple yet delicious meal. The cod fish is very fresh and not over cooked. The portion is just nice for 1 person. good!

  • Prawn in special sauce

The prawn is really big and fresh!!! The sauce is really special- oyster sauce,curry leaves, onions, garlics and dried shrimps! Love it!!

  • Sea cucumber with vegetables

Simple and nice! The sea cucumber and sliced abalone's texture is good. The side dish - mushroom, broccoli and tofu (especially!!) are delicious. Good!

  • Fried Rice

Very nice. There is very fresh scallop on top of the fried rice. The fried rice is fried till golden brown and there are a lot of prawns and long beans in the fried rice. Love it too!!! ( but i am too full to finish all)

  • Desert- Lime sherbet with aloe vera and jelly

A very special desert where rarely served by Chinese restaurant. The Lime sherbet is very sour!! It certainly helps me to feel better and digest after a heavy meal! I love it. The aloe vera and jelly are top up with some honey! Very nice too!!

Overall rating:

  • Environment : 8/10 (clean, decent, 5 * Hotel!)
  • Food :8.5/10 (fined cuisine!!!!)
  • Service : 8/10
  • Price : RM240/ person (include service and govt tax) - Fined cuisine OK!!

Ying Ker Lou, Chinese-Hakka Cuisine

Its been quite long since i update this blog...
Anyway i would like to share with u all one of my 'eating' experience at The curve...
While me and 2 of my friends were walking around to decide what to have for lunch, we came across a Chinese restaurant that serve Hakka cuisine. After some quick discussion, we decided to try this restaurant out


What had really attract me in this restaurant are, the dishes are low oil, low salt and serve no MSG (Mono Sodium Glutamate) at all!! It is very healthy!!! Love it..


Inside the restaurant


The dishes we ordered were;
  • 2 Bowl of Soup for sharing.

The soups are Stew Yellow Cucumber Soup with sliced pork and Stew watercress soup with sliced pork.. Both of the soup are very delicious!! The soup has been braised for very long, as it has a very strong taste of its ingredients.. It certainly allow me to absorb the nutrient from the ingredients and herbs!!
  • Abacus


This is a very traditional dish. It is also one of my favourite Hakka dish. The yam is filled into rice flour dough and shaped it like an abacus. It was later fried together with some Chinese carrot, black fungus sliced, bean curb, sliced pork and spring onion. The restaurant had cooked it quite well!!!

  • Steam Dumpling

There offer variety of dumplings or kau qi. There are different types of fillings. There are also fried ones. The dumpling's has a lot of filling which make it very delicious!!!

  • 2 bowl of rice and Tea for sharing!!

There offer normal white rice and brown rice. We order each one for sharing!
The tea pot is heavier than you think!!!!

  • Stew beef sliced with Bitter gourd

Nice!!! The beef is very soft and tender. The bitter gourd has certainly add flavours to the sauce of the dish. Surprisingly for someone who don't really like bitter gourd, I had enjoyed this dish a lot
  • Pork with black fungus
Not bad, the pork is very soft. The black fungus is quite crunchy and fresh too. The dish is not too salty, it is very nice to eat with rice!
  • Nam Yu fried chicken

The chicken is marinated with nam yu and later fried. The chicken is very crispy and tasty. Not very oily. Although the nam yu taste is very strong but it is not too salty. Like it too!!

There is also another branch at Sunway Pyramid :)
