LWIN LEE | Mooncake @ Royal Gourmet, Premiere Hotel
It’s just less
than 2 months’ away before another homey fete of Mooncake festival comes greeting
us again! By now, we would have seen mooncakes brands of various bakehouse started
pouring into the mall already. Being the more health-conscious society nowadays,
many has since seek to have a more salubrious options, where the pastries are
either freshly homemade, less sugar, or at least, less preservatives or none at
all! :)
With this, Royal Gourmet, an Oriental restaurant located
at Premiere Hotel, has come up with
this thoughtful idea embedded in mind in their Snow Skin series. There are two
selections currently under this category, and hints- the King of Fruits is one
of them! I would say this is one of the best I have thus far in terms of the
freshness, immaculate ingredients preparation, delicious and most importantly,
NO preservatives, NO artificial flavour, but comes with fleshy durian paste
originally sourced from the fruit itself with minimal flour. Is it already tastebud-titillating?
Well, that’s just a prelude teaser but definitely would share more from the
kitchen as you scroll down (=
Chef Kit, the only man helming the baking of these royal mooncakes, is a humble but rather shy person at the kitchen, but very meticulous when it comes to his pastries. Even with a little imperfection on the pastries skin, the product would be rejected to ensure premium products are delivered to the customers. How passionate he is towards his own bestowed responsibility with high expectation set personally! Salute!
*** Thank god
that he don’t mind having few of us there at its workplace (could be secret
recipe revealing-location too ^^) to open up our eyes on how commercial mooncakes
are actually made, but up the ante as each mooncake is made from the mould
individually without any machineries involvement, kudos for that!
Now i know why their durian mooncakes are exceptional- its secret lies in the specially imported premium flour from Hong Kong!
The cutesy
golden dollops! ^_^
Joining us is
Executive Sous Chef Johnson Chang, together
with Chef Kit, genially demonstrating to us the process of making the durian mooncakes
using D24 breed for its natural sweetness and engaging pungency ( =
These
delicate pastries certainly need skillful hands albeit the methodology might
appear easy innocently.
Ah, after we
are visually enlightened by Chef Kit’s showcase at the kitchen, we are back to
our table to savour some of the newly created Dim Sum plates alongside the existing sumptuous spread, prior to the mooncake
tasting session that is ensued shortly after that.

Juicy Prawns in Crispy Silk Wrap
Fried Yam
Shanghai Dumplings
Egg Custard Bun
More steamed baskets/ ala cartes for you to choose from.
By the time we are sampling quarter of them, we are already full to the brim!
After the
recent facelift at Royal Gourmet, the environment is much more cozy and
spacious, with all Dim Sum buffet selections are served within the comfy confine
of the Oriental restaurant.
One of my
favourite light picks from the dessert corner, and would deem it as a must-try,
are these wobbly and beautiful jellies.
Soon, the
much celebrated mooncakes has come to greet us eventually.
Needless to
say, the durian mooncake is the star-stealer of the day!
A cup of warm and subtle tea to sum up the day perfectly!
