My cousin threw a surprise dinner party at
Noble Mansion a couple of weeks ago for my aunt's 45th wedding anniversary. I hadn't even heard of this restaurant before so had no idea what to expect. It turned out to be a
super feast of high quality, well presented dishes. A memorable one as well with almost all my aunts and uncles from out of town present.
 |
| Entrance to the restaurant. |
 |
| The selection of chilli pastes and peanut nibbles. |
I love chilli but the selection here was not one of the restaurant's strongest points.
 |
| The starters. |
The first course consisted of a
Spider Crab Salad in the centre, surrounded by
Deep Fried Beancurd, and
Smoked Bacon Roll. Anything with bacon is good, and this was no exception. Usually not a fan of salad but the dressing won me over! Beancurd, not one of my favourite foods but this was soft and moist on the inside and deliciously crispy and not too oily on the outside.
Plus it's deep fried, what's not to like?
 |
| Double Boiled Chicken Soup. |
One of the best soups I've ever had. This delicious and naturally sweet
Double Boiled Chicken Soup is complemented with fish maw, Chinese black mushroom, and Chinese cabbage. Definitely no MSG added.
 |
| Braised Boston Lobster. |
I was beginning to feel full at this point. But the
Braised Boston Lobster looked too appetising to say no to. The black bean sauce and thin rice cakes went well with this perfectly cooked super fresh and succulent lobster.
 |
| Roasted Suckling Pig with Wild Mushrooms. |
With the quality of the previous courses raising the bar on my expectations, the
Roasted Suckling Pig did not disappoint. The crispness of the skin was just perfect!! I was pleasantly surprised with the presence of wild mushrooms hidden under the skin. Marinated in what I think is a secret sauce mixture which includes soy sauce, it was
simply delightful.
 |
| Baked White Tuna in Dragon Fruit Boat. |
The
Baked White Tuna in Dragon Fruit Boat was simply genius. The fishiness of the tuna is masked completely when combined with dragon fruit.
Wonderful combination!
 |
| Claypot Rice with Minced Meat. |
Well and truly stuffed at this point, but how can I say no to good food? This small bowl of
Claypot Rice with Minced Meat may look simple but this humble dish really took claypot rice to a whole new level. For me, the soy sauce has got to be of good quality to start with ie. fragrant and not too salty.
This bowl of rice puts all the claypot rice I've had before to shame.
 |
| Top to bottom: Japanese Peanut Mochi cake, Red Bean Paste Pancake, and Chilled Aloe Vera and Dried Longan sweet soup. |
Time for dessert! The end of torture (mostly pleasure) for my overstretched tummy is in sight. The
Aloe Vera and Dried Longan sweet soup was chilled just right and not overly sweet. The
Japanese Peanut Mochi was a soft and fluffy piece of cake. As for the
Red Bean Paste Pancake, well fried to the perfect crispness on the outside with a lovely red bean and banana filling.
Verdict: Fresh ingredients with no MSG added to its dishes, definitely one of the better Chinese restaurants out there.
