LWIN LEE | RESTAURANT PALACE KITCHEN 宫廷鱼头食馆 @ TAMAN SHAMELIN PERKASA





Since opening in last May, Palace Kitchen has been a favourite dining place especially for family occasion since it’s located in the vicinity of Shamelin neighbourhood.




Diners could expect a sumptuous array of honest homey food deliciously dished up by Paul, together with his compatriot of none other than his beloved mom. Paul is seen as a lively and resourceful chap who has had a fair share of culinary travel experience, from France, Singapore than to the current place that he calls hometown, Malaysia.




The restaurant boast a clean and comfortable dining environment and is also brightly lit, which projects a neat and tidy interior, as contrary to what you would have seen in other usual Chinese neighborhood restaurants which at times could be tad laid back and facilely decorated.




Nutritious home-boiled Chinese ‘leong shui’ (aka tonic drink) to cool off the body.
Diners are assured of healthy drinks as Paul insisted to freshly prepare those beverages every morning without any flavor enhancers and the varieties would rotate on different days. The one that we had that evening was from the mixture of ‘luo han guo’ or more commonly known as monk fruit.




Ensue next were the deliciously and freshly woofed up dishes from the stove of Palace Kitchen.

FRY SPICY MINCED MEAT WITH TOFU AND PUMPKIN SAUCE (MYR 15)
Indeed an alluring golden plate of silken tofu, gracefully doused with homemade pumpkin accompanied by the specially made minced meat to add flavours. I personally find that meaty bites are very chunky and full of flavor, not too spicy but rich in spice aroma that certainly spice up the overall dish. It easily goes well with a plate of hot, white rice.





MINCED MEAT WITH BRINJAL and HOMEMADE FISH PASTE (MYR 15)
Another plate that comes with the ‘secret weapon’; minced meat that is very savoury and moister as compared to the spicily fried version with the bean  curd earlier. Taste wise, this claypot dish is much more robust in flavor, where the homemade sweet fish paste (‘yu wat’) is enhanced with stronger flavor by the minced meat and also brinjals that have done a good job by absorbing the sauce essence, making it a pleasant comfort food that needs not further additional sauces to go with.





PAUL STYLE PORK RIBS (MYR 25)
Paul’s interpretation of braised pork ribs. Tender and juicy from the inside out while blending in with some Chinese herbs gravy and house special recipe. Nicely glazed visually and having a slightly different nuance from the mass- the pork meat has a mild chewier texture rather than those Western recipes which prone to ‘melt-in-the-mouth’ texture. Something interesting from this Oriental cook I would say (=





SIGNATURE ASAM (MYR 31)
Steamed Bonito Fish Head (‘song yu’) using home blend paste of tart-spicy Asam paste and garnished with mint leaves. The fish was generously served and deemed reasonably priced, looking at the huge portion. Red asam paste was thankfully not too spicy and rather mild but full of herbs fragrance, with some gingery kicks too. I wouldn’t mind if it’s slightly more sour to whet the palate appetizingly, hehe.






HONG KEE STYLE DACE FISH FRY (MYR 14)
Finally a veggie plate to greet out table and sorta balanced out the meaty feast earlier (=




It’s the homey fried dace fish with black beans served alongside some chili padi atop crisp lettuce. This dish need not much flavoring as the brininess from the dace fish is sufficient to add flavours and  complement the stir-fried leafy greens delectably.




Overall, I find Palace Kitchen Restaurant a cozy place for family dining as well as enjoying meal with friends alike over sumptuous Chinese cuisine. It may not be that posh or opulently executed, but definitely serves up a homey grubs that are added with love and passion in it, plus, most of the sauces and relish are inhouse made albeit it can be time consuming. Do have a try!
