Eastin Hotel Penang 2015 CNY & Valentines Menu

Invited Review 

Appetizer

Blue Crab Green Apple Celery Panna Cotta 

served with 

Baby Salad & Watermelon, Orange Salsa

Soft and melt in the mouth panna cotta packed with seafood flavors and balance with some crunchy garnishes makes this dish an appetizing serving to kick start a meal.

Soup

Cream of Agaricus Bisporus with Truffle Oil & Milk Espuma

We were told by the sous chief that Agariicus Bisporus is actually a scientific name for mushroom.  Put away the unfamiliar name, this is a bowl of chunky mushroom soup which is also the another alternative of mushroom soup that I personally savour besides the creamy ones.  Suggested to be enjoyed with butter and bun, the blend of micro bubbles steam milk and consistency of this bowl is satisfying.  However, I find it to having a bitter aftertaste or else this would have been a perfection.

Main Course

Oven Baked Gadus fish with Squid Ink Sauce served with 
Pumpkin Puree & Vegetables

Gadus fish or more well known as Cod Fish is one of the main course option available.  I am glad that Eastin did it well in baking this precious piece to its optimum and despite looking crisp on its skin and solid on the outer, the inside is still juicy and packed with the most natural flavors of the fresh cod.  Although I personally do not really buy the idea of using squid ink as a complimentary sauce, the pumpkin puree and vegetables have already made this dish harmonious.

OR

Lamb of Rack served with Vegetables, Potato Souffle & Coriander Leaf Sauce

For those who prefers meat than fish, here is the second presentable option available for main course. Always like it when lamb are served with refreshing sauce like the coriander leaf sauce. The aroma of lamb rack was enticing but then mine was a little overcooked and some parts were slightly burned which cause it to be overly chewy and tough.  The potato souffle and vegetables as sides course made this serving extra pleasurable. 

Dessert

Dark Layer Chocolate Mousse with Crumble

Spice Chiller Cheese Cake served with Berry Compote

The chocolaty mousse of the Dark Layer Chocolate Mousse with Crumble is heavenly and portion is just nice and not overpowering nor cloying.  To add a side note, the berry seeds at the jammy layer makes it a hassle to enjoy it wholly.  Overall, it is simply a palatable and straightforward slice. 

As compared to the aforementioned, their Spice Chiller Cheese Cake served with Berry Compote impressed me with the hint of spice to add some kick to the heart shaped cheesecake to go with the berry compote.
