Food Sampling @ The Ritz

We were honourned to be invited for a food sampling dinner at the LiYen Chinese Restaurant in Ritz Carlton last night. It was a 7 course dinner with chinese menu and western settings. There were 20 of us and we were seated in a banquet setup (Long table).
The room was decorated with Oganza orange drapes, twig balls wrapped in red oganza cloth; hung from the ceiling. The tables were setup in a fusion style, with chopsticks, fork and knife. The table runner was bold red in color and was further enhanced by a couple of candle holders and fresh flowers.

We started off with a very light and interesting appetizer - 2 hot Appetizers, salad prawn and deep fried prawn. I personally liked the starter. It's light and was decorated in a very appetizing manner. Followed by a huge bowl of YinYang sharkfin soup. The main course was cod fish layered with honey. The next dish was Stir fried chicken. By then, I was 110% filled! Next dish was beancurd roll with a papaya carved 'Fook' character on top. Everyone was amazed by the precision of the carved 'fook'. It was then followed by a Lotus leaf glutinous rice dish, ending with a Pamelo and sago dessert.

These are the pictures taken during the dinner. We were each presented with an individual menu with our names printed on it. =) We were also asked to comment on the presentation and the taste of the food.

And lastly, the food in the Ritz is highliy priced! We were told the dinner costs approximately RM250++ per pax! wow!!!
