Handcrafted Treats and New Chinese Dishes
at Le Mei
For
the coming Mid-Autumn festival, there is plenty to look forward at Le Mei, Le Meridien Putrajaya. The
culinary team led by Chinese Executive Chef Michael Wong is showcasing a new
Dim Sum menu and this year’s Mid-Autumn
Mooncake collection.
Starting
August, diners are in for a sumptuous dim sum treat. Tuck into modern and exquisite
dainty morsels of delight by Chef Wong and his culinary team at Le Mei. Chef
Wong recreates traditional flavours for the modern palate with handcrafted dim
sum using fresh locally and internationally sourced produce.
A
classic of Chicken & Shrimp
Dumplings Siew Mai is a delight. Plump and bouncy textures with tasty notes
of sweet fresh shrimp is near perfection on the palate.
Crustacean
lovers will rejoice at sight of Steamed
Fresh Shrimp with Spinach Dumplings and Green Pea Phoenix Shrimp with Ebiko. Both succulent and sublime,
the dumplings are delicious in every bite.
The
Steamed Scallop with Baby Abalone
Dumplings, a luxurious one indeed, filled the taste sense with a pleasure
of satisfaction. Thin crystal skin encasing sweet cubes of scallop, prawn and
crowned with baby abalone for extra lux elevated dim sum dining to the finest.
Unusual
to dim sum, the Squid Ink Dumplings with
Sea Urchin, Asparagus & Prawn proved that some creations do pay off.
Moreish with a touch of unctuous note of squid ink and sea urchin, the dumpling
is remarkably yummy in flavour and texture.
For
fried dim sum, the pretty Almond-coated
Golden Prawn Balls with Parmesan Cheese is just as good as it looks. Bouncy
prawn balls with a crispy and nutty layer encases a cheesy element.
Both
Crispy Dried Cod Fish Fillet with Fresh
Prawns and Black Sesame Cigar Rolls
are also stunning and unusual. Each one has the essential element of crispy and
juicy notes that made them delicious and easy to enjoy.
Besides
dim sum, we also tried Braised Fish Maw
with Crab Meat, Wok-Fried Asparagus & Fresh Prawns with Extraordinary Sauce
and Stir-Fried Noodles with Shredded
Chicken in Supreme Soya Sauce from the regular Chinese menu.
The
Wok-Fried Asparagus & Fresh Prawns
with Extraordinary Sauce was exceptionally superb in flavours and the
prawns were super fresh and sweet. The Stir-Fried
Noodles had a luscious breath off wok aroma and was a crowd pleaser for
many.
Le
Mei dim sum is available from 12noon to 2.30pm daily on weekdays. For a Sunday
treat, there is a dim sum buffet at Le Mei from 11am to 2.30pm priced at
138nett per adult and RM69nett for children. Le Mei is halal ad the restaurant
seats up to 90 diners in the main dining room and 68 diners in the five private
dining rooms. Dim sum menu is available here.
For
Mid-Autumn treat, savor finely curated mooncakes presented in auspicious and
beautiful gift boxes. Eight varieties of hand-crafted baked and snow skin mooncakes
are the highlights of this year’s Mid-Autumn collection. They are all available
until 24 September at Le Meridien Putrajaya.
For
minimum purchase of 50 boxes and above one can have your corporate logo as a
personalized touch on the mooncake gift box. One week is required for this
personalization.
Snow
skin mooncake highlights the much-beloved King of Fruits with Premium Durian Mini Snowskin for those
who simply cannot resist the unctuous flavour and aroma of durian encased in
ping pei skin.
For
creative notes, the Coffee & Raisin
Mini Snowskin and Jackfruit &
Mango Mini Snowskin will certainly appeal to the adventurous foodies.
The
Baked mooncake features more classic flavours from White Lotus Paste with Single Egg Yolk and Melon Seed, White Lotus
Paste with Walnut & Black Sesame to Pandan Lotus Paste with Hazelnut and Assorted Fruits & Nuts Mooncake.
There’s
a modern flavour of Green Tea with
Cheese & Cashew Nuts Mooncake too. The intense green tea note proved to
be quite a well-match for the layer of cheese and nut combo.
