Restoran Pin Xiang @ Aman Suria — Restaurant in Petaling Jaya

This is set to be a fav. There are plenty of dishes to choose from, and from what i tried, they can set the standard. The claypot beancurd fish head is awesome.....tasty and complement a plate of rice. If you love soups, they have a reasonably priced mini buddha jump and also individual serving of fish maw soup I wrote about this restaurant 'set to be a fav'.....so i am now back for the 3rd time

For this 3rd visit, we went a bit OTT since it was an occasion. We pre-ordered (at least 1 day notice) the Lap Mei Fan in Claypot. It's very nice if i may say so. A little let down by the fact that the Chef purposely omitted the Salted Waxed Duck, but he did explain that he felt the waxed duck was a little off since it's the off-season for import from China. It was replaced with Fah Yoke or more popularly known as Dried Pork Belly....so we still had 3 types of meat. Chinese Sausages, Chinese Pork Innards Sausages and the Fah Yoke.

The star dish for this visit was the Steamed Cod Fish with Superior Soy Sauce. Simply superb. I must add that....Cod is one of my favourite fish. Though not local amd it came frozen ....the true test of the Chef's skill is the optimum time taken to steam the Cod.

We also had the Champagne Pork Ribs served with watermelon. I thought it would be a strange combi, but surprisingly .....matched and complement the heavy sauce of the pork ribs.

Pin Xiang was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for the 5 of us.

All the dishes are very good. If you cannot eat sugar, please avoid the deep fried tilapia as the sauce is a sourish tamarind balanced with sugar. The yam Basket with squid also has a sweet soy sauce. Don't get me wrong though as both of these were very tasty. The fish was laden generously with Chili and garlic. The sweet and sourish dressing works well with the deep fried tilapia.

The yam Basket was much better than what I had at another restaurant where that one was more flour than yam. If you don't want the traditional chicken and cashew nuts, this restaurant offers squid onions and chilli in a sweet soy sauce.

The Chinese chives with Australian Beef was tender and flavoursome. Recommended dish to order. 👍

The deep fried water prawns were delightfully moreish. It is something you feel like having with pint of beer and a basket of these prawns. 2nd best dish of the evening. 👍👍

Best dish for us seafood lovers were the giant prawns in glass noodles that come in a most wonderful curry gravy which had a deep seafood bisque flavour. It was well favoured and seasoned. I could just drink the gravy by itself like a lovely warm curry seafood broth. 👍👍👍

I would definitely be coming back to sample all the...

It was pretty quiet in the restaurant at 12 noon on the Saturday. The restaurant occupied the ground floor of a 2-storey shoplot. We were the only table of customers at the restaurant right until we left. The interior was nice and clean without being overly decorated. We ordered:

• Signature Tau Fu with Choy Poh • Stir-Fried Four Kings Vegetable • Champaign Spare Ribs • Chicken Fillet in Butter Sauce

All the dishes were superb except for the butter sauce that came in a bowl for the fried chicken fillet to be dipped into. The signature tau fu was neatly stacked up like the big blocks of concrete seen at construction sites for the testing of foundation piles. It was well fried with soft interior. The sweetish choy poh went well with it. The Stir-Fried Four Kings Vegetable was well done with the dried shrimp (har mai in Cantonese) enhancing its taste. The Champaign sauce for the spare ribs was rather flavourful. The chicken fillet was wonderfully crispy being fried to perfection though I would prefer it to be saltier. However, the butter sauce for the chicken fillet to be dipped into was a big letdown. It was practically TASTELESS.

The meal came to RM96.50 (excluding the service charge of 5% and SST of 6%) for the five of us....
