Guo Fu Lou is a famous Michelin starred restaurant as reported on Forbes and other International media.
It used to be at the Empire hotel but recently relocated to the iconic Murray Building which is easily accessible behind CKC Center.
Went there for dinner as parents were back, the restaurant was modern and clean.
Everyone is really nice at the restaurant and the decor was modern and clean.
I really liked the Restaurant Manager because he has been with Guo Fu Luo for years and seen it move and transform into fame.
The menu was classic and had roast pork and roast pigeon which is something parents wanted to try.
Started with the Roast Pork which was succulent and glistening with maltose glaze, it was crispy on the edges and nice and tender in the middle with a lovely roasted taste.
Next was the Sauteed mushrooms with premium soya sauce, it was a great pairing of earthy umami mushrooms and the finest soya sauce which when stir fried together brings out the best of both.
The Steamed Crab claw with egg white and Huaodiao Wine was my personal favourite.
It is amazing how silky it was and on top of it was Huadiao, every spoonful of steamed egg white was divine with huaodiao wine.
I liked the way it was strong so be warned the wine is strong!!
For carbs had Fried rice with crabmeat, conpoy and egg white, you every grain of rice was distinct with an aromatic wok fried taste complemented by the pieces of conpoy and crabmeat in every mouthful.
Finished with the Baby Pigeon last as it is easier to eat with your hands.
The skin was crispy and thin while the Pigeon meat is delicate.
For dessert, we had a variety of Chinese sweet soup as parents are traditional but I personally liked the petit fours because one of them tasted like a Chinese choux filled with custard.
Definitely enjoyed eating fine Chinese food and the service was brilliant.
Will be back for dimsum.
