GET SET FOR CHINESE NEW YEAR AT EQ
It was love at first bite the minute we savoured the
Apple Wood Smoked Chicken Roulade with Barbecue Sauce. Served with Mashed
Potato and Mixed Mesclun Lettuce, the show-stealer is one of Golden Phoenix’s
Chinese New Year (CNY) menu specialities.
Light barbecue sauce enhanced the smoky-briny chicken
roll whilst creamy potato mash and toasted sesame dressing laced mixed mesclun
lettuce salad lent a refreshing spin to the dish.
The first salvo opened with a 10-head Abalone Yee Sang
to herald a boisterous start for the impending Snake Year. Yee sang choices at
EQ this year range from Norwegian salmon and jellyfish to advance orders of
fresh Canadian geoduck and Austrian lobster. Portions start from RM128 for a
small serving (4-6 persons), to RM668 for a large portion (6-10 persons).
Drawing
from its 50-year-old culinary heritage, Golden Phoenix returns annually for
Chinese New Year as a pop-up, serving familiar classics as well as debuting new
dishes for the Year of the Snake.
Soul-satisfying umami flavours from Double Boiled
Chicken Soup with Matsutake Mushroom and Fish Maw warmed our hearts and tummies
with every sip. We relished the assorted ingredients’ contrasting textures and
their warm, rustic depths.
Hot on its heels came Steamed Tiger Grouper with
Cordycep Flowers and Red Dates. The fish’s fine flesh flaunted on-point doneness;
its subtle sweetness dialled up by plump red dates with earthy cordyceps
flowers providing textural variation.
Little ‘money bags’ – fried tofu skin pouches filled
with diced water chestnuts, carrots and seafood – amped up the festive
speciality of Braised Sea Cucumber with Dried Oysters and Sea Moss. The smooth,
translucent sea moss-laden sauce sheathing the sea cucumber’s slippery supple
texture was notable. Hints of the ocean emerged as we sampled the dried
oysters.
The Hong Kong-style rice cake had some crushed peanuts
and desiccated coconut to dial up its taste. Top marks for the paper-thin
layers of lotus seed paste pastry too.
Golden
Phoenix’s celebratory set menus will be available for the Reunion meal. The Happy
Reunion menu is priced at RM288+ per person, Prosperous Atmosphere menu at
RM388+ per person, Wealth Treasures menu at RM488+ per person, and Great
Prosperity menu priced at RM688+ per person. A vegetarian menu, priced at
RM188+ per person, is also available.

HENING: A SERENE MALAY FOOD OASIS
Ikan Pekasam
Utara (RM15), traditional Perakian fermented ikan loma
(river carp) with ground roasted rice and salt is one of the must try dishes at
Hening. Sautéed with sliced chillies and onion, the slightly funky, acidic
sour-salty and gritty pekasam fish isn’t for the faint-hearted. I love
it precisely due to that distinct taste.We are stoked
to savour this and other Malay dishes at Hening, one of the handful of Malay cuisine
outposts in the city. Housed in a repurposed old bungalow, three enterprising
young men (pic above): Mohd Syariman Zulkifli (centre) and brothers Irham Shah bin Azhar (left) and
Ehsanuddin Shah bin Azhar (right) strive to raise Malay cuisine beyond no-frills stall
setting into classier environs aimed at locals and tourists.Banking on their collective strengths and F&B experience coupled with guidance from Syariman’s father and former hotel chef Zulkifli Aziz, the partners aim to draw city folks, urban families and foreign visitors to Hening.
Hening which means serenity or peaceful in Malay, exudes charming old-school vibes thanks to its terrazzo floors and vintage elements. Ehsan relied on his architectural expertise to update the all-white interior with colourful artworks by local artist Rahim Ismail.Chef Syariman who has 17 years of industry experience is responsible the restaurant’s food and kitchen whilst Irham takes care of marketing and financial matters, and Ehsan, manpower.Menu-wise, Johor and Perak specialities take centrestage. Lunch dishes are ideal for communal sharing, served alongside Nasi Putih Daun Pisang (RM4 per portion), steamed basmathi rice wrapped in banana leaf.Aside from pekasam, the appetising Thai-inspired Kerabu Limau Bali (RM15), is a notable spicy-tangy-salty pomelo salad. We recommend accompanying the rice with robustly flavoured mains such as Masak Lemak Daging Bakar (RM40) or Masak Lemak Siakap Goreng (RM45), smoky grilled beef slices or fried whole seabass in rich, turmeric-accented curry prepared following Negeri Sembilan style.Subtly spicy-tangy tamarind sauce, chopped tomatoes and onion boosts the appeal of Daging Batang Pinang Bakar Air Asam (RM40), grilled tenderloin skewers. Mellower but no less tempting is Johor-style Asam Pedas Jenahak (RM45), fleshy whole snapper in piquant chilli-tamarind gravy.To wrap up your meal, try nostalgic sweet treats of Pisang Madu Tiga (RM12), caramelised bananas with vanilla ice cream, and Sago Gula Melaka with fresh mango dices. Local tea-time treats such as Curry Puffs, Onde Onde and Bubur Cha Cha are available from 3pm onwards.Alternatively, sample thirst-quenchers: Hening Pagi (RM12) using fresh pomegranate, Hening Senja (RM12) with crushed strawberries, soda and lemon, or Hening Malam (RM12), fresh watermelon juice with soda.When it comes to good, comforting Malay food, Hening rules the roost.For reservations, call Hening restaurant at tel: 017-331 6964. Address: 56, Lorong Damai 1, Jalan Damai, Kuala Lumpur. Business hours: 8am to 6pm daily
