My Fishy Feast

I recently had the opportunity to dine in this renowned Chinese restaurant, Pik Wah located at Stadium Chinwoo. 

A restaurant awarded the Bib Gourmand is very popular among the Chinese community staying in Klang Valley. 

Its magnificent hall boasts of grand banquet tables with private rooms available on its first floor. 

This time around, we were treated to a grand 8-course fish set dinner featuring the Emperor’s Sturgeon, a rare fish where its female species are being harvested for its caviar. 

This special fish package must be pre-ordered with a minimum of 10 pax. Yup, its a huge fish all right. 

Here are the unique dishes concocted by the restaurant using almost every single part/ organ of that 1 gigantic fish. 

(Fish Head) - Tian Ma and Herbs Steamed Soup
(Very strong herbal taste brings out the earthiness and sweetness of this soup-7/10) 

(Fish Skin) - Fish Skin with Lemon Pattaya Sauce -8/10

(Fish Bone)- With chilli pepper and special salt - 8/10 

(Fish Belly) - Steam with Ginger and Orange Peel 
(Very nice firm solid texture and fresh- 9/10) 

(Fish Slice)- Sashimi style 
(My ultimate favourite of the night, superbly fresh with a slightly crunchy texture-10/10) 

The wasabi was exceptionally pungent! 

This dish comes with a boiling pot of milky soup with Chinese wine and leafy green vegetables for those who prefer to cook their fish slice. And you know what, the cooked version (just about 10 seconds of dipping the thin slices into the broth) tasted damn good too! 

(Fish Liver)- Steamed egg with liver and onion
(Featuring the slimy and rubbery internal part of the liver which when eaten together with the egg, didnt really have a wow factor for me. Sadly this dish was pretty underwhelming for me- 5/10) 

(Fish Tail)- Fried with Szechuan Black Bean Sauce 

(Another clear winning dish for me where the flavours really marry well together. Certainly tastes better than it looks- 8/10)

(Fish Gallbladder) and Scallop black pepper fried rice 
(Amazingly good with crunchy bits, some found it bland but hey, just throw in some cili padi for the kick, i say! - 9/10) 

(Non fish dessert) 
Ok i was expecting perhaps vanilla ice cream topped with caviar (?) but nevertheless it was still a dolce ending to a lovely dinner washed down with cold fresh mango, watermelon and papaya chunks. 

Thanks to Uncle Peter for the memorable feast

And a very happy birthday to him and my mil. 

Not to mention, Lacher Patisserie’s Gateau Fromage is delightfully delicious too. Love ❤️ 

All in all, RM 1,688 which is the price of this fish set (at least for now) may be quite a hefty price to pay, but its dining experience is truly something memorable and worth trying. Especially since the chef has been perfecting these dishes for years, it’s proven a unique breakaway from your usual Chinese course dinners.  Oh and by the way, it didnt leave me feeling thirsty after dinner.
