Today is the family gathering for my uncle from UK and also other uncle and cousin who live in KL. My cousin suggested Youmiqi Cuisine as she saw the raving reviews from many blogs. We ordered the most famous dish here where all the bloggers post about that is the Ocean Dragon Garoupa Braised soup in a giant brass hot pot. The soup alone is RM 28 for 'starting the fire.' Initially, we were so shocked at such a low price. It is a must to order 2 types of seafood to go with the hotpot. For the Oce
We ordered the most famous dish here where all the bloggers post about that is the Ocean Dragon Garoupa Braised soup in a giant brass hot pot. The soup alone is RM 28 for 'starting the fire.' Initially, we were so shocked at such a low price. It is a must to order 2 types of seafood to go with the hotpot. For the Ocean Dragon Garoupa alone, it costs a whopping RM 201.60! The garoupa was just amazing, so succulent and tender. I just fell in love with the silky soft smooth garoupa, though it was deep fried. The soup was so sweet. The other item we ordered was braised tiger prawn (RM 72). The prawns were not that great and not worth the money paid as they were too small. I expected them to be bigger than those.
We also added dry deep fried beancurd skin (RM 13) which was so tasty to go with the braised soup. Addition of baby cabbage (RM 13) or 'wa wa cai' was so tasty to go with the braised soup. I liked the look of the cabbage which has unique looking leaves. The freshness of the cabbage was very crispy even when placed for a long time inside the hotpot.
The other item we ordered was Braised Chicken in Kam Heong Style (RM 40), was half a chicken. The parts of the chicken are mostly the drumstick part and very tender and delicious. My uncle felt that the chicken was not fragrant enough though it was kam heong and served in a claypot. For me, it tasted like normal chicken. Thankfully, it was not overly salty.
The Pan Fried Black Fungus with Paste (RM 28) was very unique. The combination of the crispy black fungus with the paste was incredible and marriage made on the peak. The paste was just nice and did not contain too much pork or meat or fish and had no fishy smell. The dish was topped with some stir fried garlic and some sauce which were a little fragrant.
The white rice costs RM 2 per bowl and the tissue here cost RM 1 whereby they gave us two packets.
The entire bill came up to the most expensive meal I have had in a few months;
Service Charge: RM 40.56
GST 6% : RM 26.77
Total : RM 472.93
I almost fainted at the price!
