Prince Restaurant (王子饭店)

Once again we are at Prince Restaurant, but this time with a different menu than last time, and it's a gift to Esta, my mom's childhood friend. Since we got to stay at her place for free, we wanted to thank her with a fancier dinner.

However, compared to last visit, this menu was kind of dull in comparing, it didn't give a special food experience. Don't misunderstand, the food was good, but not satisfying. I was expending more or something similar to the first time.

This time many of the dishes had poor/faint seasoning, some meat was chewy because of overcooking, and everything of service and serving took a very long time, we even got served wrong dishes. Because of this experience, I feel that the restaurant's standard goes a bit down when there is a lot of people to serve.

Our menu
Appetizer: Norway's smoked salmon
This time the salmon tasted more like those from Norway. They did a better job this time. Maybe the fish was more oily. Still a little hint of sweet aftertaste, the vegetables were fresh, tomato sweet, match well with the aftertaste. They used some kind of vinegar that spices the vegetables and gave it a sweet aroma.


Peking duck and pancakes

This is how you "set-it-up": 1. You add the vegetables around the middle of the pancake (in this case, cucumber and onion). 2. Add some hoisin sauce or sweet bean sauce 3. Add duck meat on top. 4. Fold and eat <3

Noodles with lobster.

The taste was OK, the lobster was fresh and the sauce was not to strong, so you was able to taste the natural of the lobster sweat meat. However they have overcooked the noodles - maybe they were too busy in the kitchen.

Prince Restaurant (王子饭店)

Because I have completed my BA, we wanted a small celebration, so before the trip we had already made a reservations at Prince Restaurant (王子饭店), where we had a 9 course dinner. Fancy place with fancy food to a fair price.

Our menu
Appetizer: Norway's smoked salmon.
This dish was nothing like the "Norway-way" of smoked salmon. The meat was fresh, but maybe the fish wasn't oily enough. The smoked salmon I am used to have a hint of smoked and it's salt, and yet you can taste the natural flavor. This one was sweet, maybe too sweet after my taste. However it's was very good, you got a little hint of salmon aftertaste,  the vegetables were fresh, tomato sweet that match well with the aftertaste. And they used some kind of vinegar that spices the vegetables - gave it a sweet aroma, maybe too sweet.






This dish was special! It's was so simple and yet nothing I have tasted before. White fish, lightly fried, with a sweet orange sauce. Powerful taste.
