Summer Palace, Putrajaya Marriott

Although we were tired, we were equally hungry and the fatigue was starting to wear us down.  Hence, lunch was a welcomed break. My last visit here was a rather unimpressive one so I was hoping that this time, they would have fared better.

Spoiler alert: they didn't. If anything, I think they deteriorated.

Are you the kind who likes to hangout with your own clique or branch out to meet others, especially with the big boys?

Braised seafood soup with bean curd and yellow chives.
I think that's just a fancy ass way to call a seafood starchy soup. Given my liking for all things soup, this was quite a nice start, starch or not.

Deep fried boneless chicken in lemon sauce.
The most popular dish ever ordered by Indians and non-Chinese-speaking Chinese, these were crispy, thanks to the thick batter which was really all that there was. It didn't had much meat which was a waste as the sauce was quite nice.

Stir fried Vietnamese style beef.
A slight peppery taste, the beef were quite thick, a little tough. Otherwise, not bad.

Fried fish fillet in butter better cream & oat.
Their cream must be premium or at least not ordinary so it's better cream. We were a little perplexed trying to decide what meat this was as it was a little chewy on the outside, almost like tapioca balls. The flesh inside didn't feel like fish at all. If I had to guess, it would be a vegetarian version of fish.

Stir fried shrimp with Pattaya sauce.
This was one of the better dishes of the day and was snapped up very quickly. Who could blame them when it was the one thing that tasted & felt like it should (not chewy/rubbery/tough)?

Fried lotus pancake and sesame ball.
These were just way too sweet on top of the earlier sweet savory sauces. But I think they are probably closest to what you'd find in a respectable Chinese restaurant.
