My Dining
Room, a Cantonese Restaurant which open its door after the renovation
of the dining wing in Suntec City. This restaurant was first known to
us when LD's colleagues brought her there for her birthday lunch.

Based on
LD's glowing recommendation, we decided to go there for her dad's
birthday. We decided to order Roast Suckling Pig and Abalone Set Menu
($499++ for 10 pax).
 |
| The Setting |
First
item served is Roasted Suckling Pig. The skin of the pig is crispy and
beautifully crumble in your mouth, in the typical Cantonese roast.
Each cuts is about 5 cm in length and with, making it enjoyable for
everyone to savour. Yum Yum PORKGASM.

The suckling pig come with the sweet sauce and mini flower shape bun. The bun is light and fluffy, it will provide a good balance of offset the fattiness of the pig. Once the skin on the flat part of the pig are finished, the service staff help us to peel the skin from the legs and head so we do not need to dirty our hand. What a wonderful service.

Double
Boiled Fish Maw Chicken Soup is up next. The broth is clear yet
robust. The fish maw used is from the dried tube version instead of
the fried one, resulting in a crunchy and gelatinous texture. The
wolfberries add a touch of sweetness in the soup.

Stewed
Abalone & Japanese Mushroom with Vegetable. The fragrant aroma of
this dish just filled the room when it was brought out. The abalones
chewy yet tender, while the mushrooms are well fattened after
absorbing the broth in which the abalone is stewed. As it is a
portion for 10 person, the abalone is just enough for one each per
person.

Fried
Prawn with Garlic and Spring Onion. The only dish that was a let down
for the night. I can understand if they butterfly the prawns to make
it look big, instead they cut the prawn in half and left it dangling
to the tails. The prawns are small and overcooked, resulting in a
hard and chewy texture.

Deep-Fried
Soon Hock Fish. The pair of soon hock fish are fried to crispy and
served with superior soya sauce. The skin, fins and tails are crispy
which is everyone's favourite while meat retain its flakiness.

Deep-Fried
Suckling Pig Meat with Salt & Pepper (2nd course). The
deep fried process added crispy texture to the meat of the suckling
pig. It is crispy yet tender at the same time. The salt and pepper
seasoning is just addictive.

Fried
Rice with Chicken & Yam. A unique version of fried rice, but it
works. The fried rice has a more subtle taste, with the yam added a
mild crunchy texture to the dish. Each grain of rice is crunchy and
crisp, which complement the Wok Hei in the rice.

Dessert
of the day is a red bean soup, in which you can taste the flavour of
the “Chenpi” (mandarin orange peel).

We
actually ordered Crispy Roast Duck ($68) to satisfy the birthday
boy's cravings. True to its name, the skin of the duck is paper thin
and crispy. In between the skin and the meat, there is a thin layer
of fats which result in moist and succulent meat.

As we are
celebrating a birthday, we ordered the Birthday Bun ($1.50 each). The
bun is fluffy, while the lotus paste filling is thick with a subtle
sweetness to it. Check out the nice presentation, plated with old
ginger and God of Longevity miniature.

The
restaurant are decorated with the East Meet West theme, blending
Chinese decorations with the classic chandelier and the huge wine
cellar, and yet giving you the modern outlook with their wooden walls
and furniture.
LD made
special arrangement to have a private room as we are going to spend
more than $500, the room was very simple yet very grand and classic.

Overall,
it seems that we have found a gem. My Dining Room is an excellent
Cantonese restaurant that has been flying under the radar. Best part,
they also serve dim sum in the evening. So we certainly be going back
for more. Cheers!!
