Gado-gado
The peanut sauce simply tantalizes my taste buds. As simple as this salad may look or sound, it was definitely a lip-smacking dish to begin with.
Asian Chicken Noodle Salad
Refreshing, light and healthy dish, I love how the noodles are not thoroughly cooked giving it some nice light crunch to it, Chicken was well-marinated and really garlicky!
Shrimp with Pomelo & Watercress Salad
Shrimp matches perfectly with bittersweet citrus fruit, making it such a lively appetiser to begin with. It reminded me a lot like the Yam Som-O I’ve had during my trip to Thailand.
The second chef to be featured for the month will be Chef Muhammad Hafiz Bin Izham, a 29-years old from Pahang who specializes in Malay cuisine. He will be serving up his specialty dishes as per below!
Fried Crispy Sea Bass with Green Curry Gravy
A simple rich, delicious and creamy green curry with sea bass was bursting with bright, bold flavors. You’ll catch yourself scooping for more green curry topped on a hearty bowl of rice.
Spiced Eel Soup
Warm and filling perfect for rainy weathers, this soup was truly heart yet so flavorful. The eel has a really nice texture to it and wasn’t too chewy.
Gulai Pisang Muda
One of the few dishes that got everyone’s head turning when served. Just the look on the rich and sweet coconut gravy makes one mouth-watered.
The Chinese cuisine on the buffet will be prepared by the hands of Chef Emmanuel Chang Lin Con, a 32-years old who hails from Malacca.
Kam Heong Chicken with Dried Chili
Fragrantly distinctive flavors from the sauce paired perfectly with the lightly crisp chicken. The aroma itself yearning for a bite.
Butter Prawn with Oats
One of the all-time favorite dish at the buffet counter, this dish is no stranger to Nook’s regular diners. The prawns were crunchy, juicy and evenly coated with oats.
Wok-fried Mussels with Black Bean Gravy
Beautifully wok-fried with dried chilies giving some nice heat to it. Mussels were really fresh and complemented the rich, fragrant black bean gravy really well.

Braised Chicken Rendang Pasta
This ultimate fusion dish, full of ri1ch and warming flavors will definitely have you grabbing for more. Chef Zaki does not jokes around when it comes to his fusion dishes.
Daging Masak Hitam
This rather famous ambrosial Malay dish was one of a kind. The beef was braised till soft and tender complementing the flavorsome dark sweet sauce perfectly. What’s missing right here is a bowl of rice!
Quattro Formaggi Pizza
Inspired from his days when Chef Zaki was based at Southern Italy, this classic four cheese pizza has to be one of the most wonderful combinations of bread and cheese imaginable.
No buffet is ever complete without a dessert spread. On the dessert bar, you’ll find delectable creations of Chef Zahrin Mohamad bin Madzlan.
Bubur Som Som
This local dessert was inspired by Chef Zahrin’s mother. A little drizzle of Gula Melaka to complement the coconut rice flour porridge with some freshly diced jackfruit. Perfect to have after a heavy feast!

“Tao”, which means peach in Mandarin, is the new restaurant located on level one of the hotel and is immediately recognizable with a vibrant design using the bloom of the pale pink April peach flowers as a signature motif and a spectacular cloud-like inspired ceiling giving an impression of dining under the stars.
It was a pleasant dining experience for us to have Dim Sum Chef at Tao Chinese Cuisine, Chef Lo Tian Sion (羅天送) tosavour in his toothsome dim sum made from premium quality ingredients.
鲍鱼虾饺 Steamed Abalone Prawns “har kow” (RM 38)
The diced abalone was soft and barely chewy while prawns were so fresh and crunchy!
帶子烧卖 Steamed Scallops “siew mai” (RM 19)
Siew Mai is one of my favorite food in the world! Lol Scallop was also soft and not even close to being overcooked giving it a nice melt in mouth-like texture.
蜜汁叉烧鸡包 Steamed Diced Barbecued Chicken Bun (RM 14)
Bun texture was really fluffy while luscious filling of sweet ‘char siew’.
Silky and smooth on the outside, crunchy and scrumptious inside! The sauce complemented with it very well. Loss of words on how spectacular this dish was!
香葱虾米肠粉 Pan-fried Rice Noodle Rolled with Dried Shrimps & Spring Onions (RM 16)
The rice noodle has a nice light crisp from pan-frying and the dried shrimps made it extra flavorful.
Wok-fried Egg Noodles with Chicken Strips, Salted Egg Yolk, Beansprout, Onions, Sesame Seeds and Chili Sauce (RM 48)
At first glance it may look like any other regular wok-fried egg noodles but when it comes to taste it was extravagant. The salted egg yolk was evenly coated on the noodles giving it some nice salty creamy eggy flavors. As the sesame seeds were wok-fried along with the noodles, it really does brings out the oomph of this dish.
Stir-fried Seasonal Vegetables (RM 42)
Thick chunks of asparagus beautifully stir-fry with garlic was so juicy, crunchy and flavorful. Have you ever had vegetables that were so addictive?
Super adorable “ninko” in disguise as mandarins. You’d get some sweetness from the sweet potato and gooey gooness from the “ninko” with some slight crispiness on the outside deep-fried to golden perfection.

Here’s a sneak peek on what we had!
Deluxe Yee Sang with Salmon (RM118/half portion or RM 228/whole portion)
Beautiful thinly sliced sashimi salmon with almost melt-in-mouth texture. Perfect way to start off the wonderful dinner with some prosperity toss. There’s an option for Fruity Fiesta or Jellyfish as well.

Braised Five Treasure Soup with Crab Meat & Sliced Abalone
This delicious and shark-friendly alternative is flavorsome that warms our heart to belly. I really enjoy the chunks in the soup giving some texture to it.
Crispy Almond Chicken
You get that nice crunch of almonds at the bottom of the chicken and light crisp from the chicken skin paired with some crackers on the side while the meat is still relatively soft.
Steamed Live Sea Grouper with Sliced Ginger & Chili
What I love about this dish is the ginger paste on top of the fish topped with coriander. The steamed fish takes on the flavor and fragrance of the ginger and spring onions. The fish itself was beautifully cooked and still firm and moist.
Sauteed Golden Prawns with Pumpkin Cream
Sinful and irresistible prawn dish loved by many! Savory from the salted egg yolk and sweetness from the pumpkin are indeed a perfect match for the bouncy and firm textured prawns.
The mushrooms are cooked to soft and tender and dried oysters were chewy and flavorful. Whenever there’s a family occasion and this dish is on the table, I’d take spoonful of the sauce and drizzled them over my bowl of rice because there’s just something magical about it.
Supreme Seafood Golden Fried Rice with X.O. Sauce
X.O. sauce really brings the fried rice to a whole different level. There’s a nice heat to the fried rice, not too spicy but really palatable.
Double Boiled Sweetened Chrysanthemum Tea with Pear, Red Date & Aloe Vera
Sweet, refreshing and nourishing. I love the aloe vera chunks in this delightful ‘tong sui’.
Dynasty’s Fortune Pastries
‘Nian Gao’ to be enjoyed both ways. Deep-fried to crispy golden perfection and gooey inside or steamed and coated with coconut flakes. I personally enjoyed the fried ‘nian gao’ because there’s sliced yam in it which complemented it so well.
Prosperity Treasure Pot (RM 488 or RM 528 for takeaway)
This treasure pot is stuffed with whole sun-dried scallop, fish maw, stuffed dried oyster, fresh scallop, flower mushroom, fu kwei abalone, farm chicken, roasted duck, money bag, sea cucumber, vegetarian roasted meat, vegetables, tiger prawns, fish stomach, coral clam and fungi mushroom.

Chinese New Year is just around the corner and the thought of finding a venue and making reservations for the big day, it’s going to be tough to book a table especially at popular eateries. Even if you do, the restaurant would probably be loud and overcrowded with screaming kids, other tables cheering their way to a prosperous new year and you’d probably have to yell at each other across the table throughout the dinner. That’s not so nice isn’t it? Wouldn’t it be easier if you could enjoy exclusive meals in the comfort of your home?
Three Brothers Restaurant got you covered! In fact, takeaways are encouraged.
Not to mention, you could check out their reunion dinner package over here!
Yee Sang (RM 48/half portion RM 58/whole portion)
Don’t be fooled by its texture, some people would’ve looked at it and assumed the yee sang looks really dry but believe me, its ridiculously fresh and moist. Price above does not includes the sliced Norwegian salmon, fish roe and such. I love how the fish roe gives the popping sensation as you have a mouthful. Crab legs were firm and sweet and the salmon was simply spectacular. Feel free to add-on for a more prosperous toss!
Dry Abalone Seafood Soup (RM 688)
Let me break this to you first, the bowl and lid are part of the takeaway. Yes, its inclusive! This soup is so nourishing it uplifts the festive spirits with its gourmet flavours. What you see is what you get, the portions and ingredients here are ridiculously legitimate!
Golden Treasure Pot (RM 588)
This wonder pot is packed with decadent Chinese New Year delicacies loved by family and relatives of all ages. This dish is brim with layers of premium seafood and meats that are richly braised. Who wouldn’t love a dish that’s believed to bring in good luck and fortune for the coming year? Yes, the pot is included as well.
Iberico Platter (RM 380)
You could read more about how this finger-licking platter on my previous post on their reunion dinner packages! I’ll leave it right here. It’s one of my personal favorite dish in this restaurant!
Chef Special’s Steamed Rice (RM 8/piece)
Most of us would’ve skipped this dish because we’d be too stuffed for carbs but nope, not this one. It’s packed individually per person with just the right portion and getting to enjoy little bits of each elements in the dish. It’s surprisingly light, not too salty nor sweet.

Chinese New Year reunion dinners never always has to be in fancy restaurants and hotels but somewhere around your neighborhood works the same. Here in Three Brothers Restaurant, you’d be able to enjoy premium quality dishes and probably dishes you wouldn’t expect to have it here at all!
Yee Sang (RM 48/half portion RM 58/whole portion)
The Prosperity Toss was really refreshing. None of the elements on this plate were dry at all. Yes I know there’s probably nothing much to boast about yee sang because ‘it all tasted the same’ but not here …
Deep Fried Fish Skin (RM 12)Red Clam Sashimi (RM 24) & Salmon Sashimi (RM 24)
Voila! The fish skin was crispy almost like having potato chips but a much healthier option. Salmon sashimi was ridiculously fresh and has a melt-in-mouth texture while the Red Clam or Akagai sashimi has a nice mild, subtle taste.
Double Boiled Geoduck Soup (RM 176)
This soup is loaded with goodies! Sliced geoduck, fish maws, muhsrooms, half chicken and many more! It tasted much sweeter and flavorful as the soup releases the flavors from the ingredients gradually.
Garlic Onion Steamed Grouper (RM 188)
It may not be a pretty but strange-looking fish but it is absolutely aromatic, delicious, and not greasy at all. What I love about grouper fish is that you get to enjoy more of the fish not needing to worry much of the bones. The sauce is what makes this dish even better!
Iberico Platter (RM 380)
Who would’ve expected a Hispanic-Portuguese inspired European dish in a Chinese restaurant which was definitely one of the show-stopping dish in the menu! This dish is often served as a dinner centerpiece in Spain. It’s like Roasted Turkey for Christmas!
Roasted Iberico Ribs
These intensely juicy and succulent pork with superior flavor these has an excellent meat-to-bone ratio which makes them so immensely satisfying as well as exquisite.
Iberico de Cebo servedwith Rock Melon & Caviar
Deliciously cured Iberian ham in beautifully marbled and deep red in color. It also has a nice smooth fat with low melting point giving it a very aromatic with a long-lasting flavor, and a creamy, melting sensation in your mouth.
Pan Fried Iberico Collar
Taste as good as the ribs but more on a leaner and tougher texture. This delicious pork platter really does brings the authentic flavors of inland Spain to your dining table.
Money Bag served with Braised Fish Maw (RM 180)
More fish maws! I really enjoyed the chewy texture and how it perfectly absorbed the sauce. Oh did you know the money bag represents wealth and prosperity? Except its stuffed with minced pork and black fungus.🤣
Scallops & Prawns in Truffle Sauce served with Assorted Vegetables (RM 98)
Impressively rich in delicate flavors from the prawns and scallops along with the black truffle. I really love the crunch of the vegetables which gives some texture to it.
Crab Meat Fried Rice topped with Tobiko (RM 60)
You know its a good fried rice when you get that oomph on your first bite. The fried rice is filled ‘wok hei’ and you get that nice popping sensation going on in your mouth as you get some of the tobiko or fish roes.
Alcohol-free Tiramisu topped with Chocolate Sauce and Gold Leaves (RM 60)
What makes this tiramisu so special? No, it’s not because its topped with gold leaves. This tiramisu flew all the way from Italy! And the taste wise, it is squisito regardless there’s no alcohol contain in it. I really love how the coconut flakes played along with the Tiramisu!

🎄Shoutout to the wonderful chefs behind this festive feast!🎄
Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, located at the heart of the city centre surrounded by luxurious business hotels, shopping centres and of course greeted by the spectacular view of the Petronas Twin Towers.
The main reason we’re here was for the luncheon that was designed to showcase its Special 8-course Chinese New Year banquet menu and guests were also given a sneak preview of the Centre’s expansion. The Centre’s award-winning 50-strong culinary team, helmed by Executive Chef Hisham Bin Jaafar, continually explore local produce, euro and asian cooking traditions as well as ingredients that can be tastefully combined into tailor-made menus that cater to the needs and dietary requirements of multicultural and multi-ethnic delegates and visitors.
Upon arrival, an absolutely refreshing glass of hibiscus juice with a dash of lemon juice as the welcome drink were served to us complementing the soothing music performance as we mingle around waiting for the doors to be open.
The table setups reminded me so much of when I was in my first year of college we would be assigned by our lecturers to work in hotels around the city for any banquet functions.
Feeling unease and intimidated at the beginning but after we settled down at our table and looking at the menu, I can’t wait for the luncheon to begin!
Chef Hisham bin Jaafar, Executive Chef and Chef Andrew Lee, Chinese Master Chef then further explained the menu that captures the exquisite balance in combining contemporary taste with traditional dishes. A banquet of distinction, the 8-course Chinese menu at RM1600++ per table of 10 guests, will be available for booking from 3 October 2017, and any booking confirmed before 30 November 2017 will enjoy the same rate for a 2018 booking for this special 8-course Chinese menu!
To begin with, our starter was the Five Happiness Combination Platter. I’d always go for the fried ones regardless! The chicken on lemongrass skewer was one of my favorite.
Moving on to soup, we’ve got Seafood Chowder with Silken Beancurd and Enoki Mushroom.
To be honest I was a little bit worried if it has strong fishy flavors as I’m never much of a fan of seafood but I’ll have to take back my words on this one because it was absolutely stunning! Texture of the soup wasn’t thick and gooey, it was really light and easy to have. It was so good I had two bowls of it HA!
Roasted Sesame Chicken with Five Spice Salt! Need I say more!?
Crispy-like skin and juicy meat – everything is on point on this dish! Oh I must say the chef who portioned the chicken did a really good job!
Deep-fried Fish Fillets with Portuguese style Turmeric and Ginger Sauce was so flavorful and delicious!
Takes me back to Malacca where the Portuguese Settlement is and there used to be a stall that makes really good grilled stingray with the similar sauce.
Stir-fry Prawn with Shrimp Paste enhanced with Curry Spice Kum Heong style. Ah yes, the rich golden fragrance! It was so tasty and aromatic.
Braised San Ken Beancurd Dumpling with Bailing Mushroom and Broccoli Florets. I really did enjoyed the broccoli crisp-tender texture!
Wok-fried Rice with Shredded Cuttlefish and Silver Anchovies. We were stuffed and this was our 7th course but regardless how stuffed we were we couldn’t resist the aroma of the fried rice.
Last but not least, we’ve come to an end of the wonderful 8-course menu, Chilled Honeydew Melon with Pearl Sago. It could’ve been better but there’s a little too much ice which cause it to lose its sweetness.
Ha what’s Chinese New Year without a toss for prosperity?
The Centre is offering a Chinese New Year in-house “Yee Sang” from RM188++ for a 10-persons fresh salmon platter to complement the Chinese New Year Banquet Menu! Just look how pretty those salmons are!
It was an amazing luncheon and opportunity indeed! Can’t wait for more food-ventures awaiting for me!
