All mooncake fillings are freshly made inhouse, hence customers could be assured of preservative-free and healthfully delicious mooncake baked fresh from the kitchen of Grand Harbour.

But first, let’s sample some hearty recipes from the private kitchen of Grand Harbour, all skillfully woofed by experienced before relish in the scrumptious homemade mooncake.

DOUBLE STEAMED ‘TIAN MA’ FISH HEAD SOUP (MYR 16/ BOWL)

Double-boiled soup using various herbs like ‘tong chung cho’, grouper and ‘long tan’ fish. Every sip is saporous and flavourful with the seafood sweetness

BARBEQUE PORK & SUPERIOR SOY SAUCE CHICKEN

Nicely glazed succulent char siew served together with tenderly juicy chicken meat. Just how the usual Chinese folks like it.

FRIED YEE MEE WITH ASSORTED MUSHROOMS AND TRUFFLE OIL (MYR 19.80- SMALL)

A marriage between East and West.

The moment it arrives to my gustation, the presence of the truffle oil is already discernible due to its unique raciness. A rather interesting idea to be incorporated here.

STIR-FRIED SOUR, SWEET, BITTER AND SPICY (MYR 18.50- SMALL | MYR 31.80 MEDIUM)

As the given name depicted, diners can expect a plethora of flavours hovering between harmonious sweet- bitter acerbities from the bitter gourd, spiced up by the pickled Chinese veggies. So let’s discover the health benefits of bitter gourd now!

STIR-FRIED KAILAN WITH FANG YU (MYR 18.50- SMALL | MYR 31.80 MEDIUM)

Love the crisp and crunchy greens bites of the kai lan, stir-fried till sturdy to the palate. This is my kind of toothsome and healthy veggies plate.

FRIED GLUTINOUS RICE WITH CRAB (MYR 85.80 FOR 5-6 PAX)

This dish need advance order as it’s depending on the stock as the crab is sought from India.

The Sri Lankan crab is rather huge and served atop a bed of texturized savoury glutinous rice and comfortably served up to 6 pax.

STEWED ‘KAMPUNG CHICKEN’ WITH CHINESE WINE (MYR 33.80- SMALL | MYR 65.80 MEDIUM)

Using free ranch chicken for the better meat texture and healthier choice, then cooked with rice wine and house special marinade and sauce, rendering a very flavorsome dish that easily goes well with a plate of white rice. The black fungus also adds some pleasant chewy bites too.

Perhaps some space for several desserts first before ushering out the mooncakes? (=

TEOCHEW SWEET YAM PASTE (MYR 7.50)

CHILLED MANGO SAGO WITH PAMELO (MYR 9.80)

CHILLED MANGO COCONUT PARFAIT (MYR 7.50)

CHILLED COCONUT PUDDING (MYR 13.80)

The new delight to be introduced this year spicing up your festive month is none other than the floral Sakura Chrysanthemum.

SAKURA CHRYSANTHEMUM (MYR 18.80)

Traces of flowers petals are evident, adding subtle fragrance to the tea-infused mooncake paste. It greets your taste bud with some flower fragrance before leaving you with subtle tea aroma aftertaste. Thankfully, it’s not too sweet too (=

BLACK SESAME WITH WHITE LOTUS (MYR 18.80)

SHANGHAI MOONCAKE SINGLE YOLK (MYR 17.80)

SNOW SKIN YAM PASTE (MYR 16.80)

Limited edition of corporate gift box is also available at MYR 128.80 for 4 pieces of selections from Sakura Chrysanthemum, White Lotus Double Yolk, Fruits Nut Mixture, White Lotus Paste)

  

Overall, the mooncakes range are delectable and not so sweet, perfect as a corporate gift as well as present to our beloved parents. Hence, health-conscious folks has no reason to hold back any mooncake craving (since it’s just once in a year thingy) and could enjoy them joyfully.
