RESTORAN TIAN XIAN (EX TAI WAH STAFF)

We celebrated Mothers Day lunch and my second son's birthday at this restaurant as we wanted something different for my brothers.

For those who were brought up in Kajang, the restaurant then was Tai Wah. So, after quite a number of attempted reincarnations, this is the latest. It is run by an ex-staff of Tai Wah and they do serve some of it's famous dishes. They also run a chicken rice and mixed rice shop next door.

The restaurant is located in Bandar Technology on the way to Semenyih. The entrance to the restaurant.....


The restaurant is air conditioned and the view inside.


We had a four season starter which included some Tai Wah favourites, boxing chicken and stuffed fried bread with pork.


 Then we had the sharkfin soup, but I forgot to take the photo before we finished the bowl, sorry.





Next was the steamed Giant Garoupa...



And then, deep fried "pai kuat wong" or pork chop, another Tai Wah favorite.



We then had the butter prawns which was polished off quickly.....as you can see.....


This was also a Tai Wah favorite, bird's nest (which is a crunchy yam basket, different from the normal ones that you find in most restaurant).


A mixed vegetable to end the meal....too much, we could not finish all the food.

Dessert was "tong sui".....

The food is not bad as we have eaten there quite a number of times but this time round, the old Tai Wah favourite did not seem very authentic. Maybe the chef, who has won a few awards and appeared in a number of food related articles and blogs, wanted to have his take on the dishes his way.

The price of the meal was RM 450.00 for a table of ten.
 
Until the next time, cheers.....
