Classic signatures dishes at Xin Cuisine

It’s been ages since I’ve last been to Xin Cuisine Chinese Restaurant at Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur, oh, how I’ve missed thee! The recent media sneak preview revealed its new line-up of sumptuous classic signature dishes. Leading the kitchen is chef Foong Ah Kwai who 50 years of experience in Cantonese cooking. 

I still remember the amazing taste of the Signature Roasted Goose (RM420/ whole; RM230/half). Probably one of the best I’ve ever had, the goose is marinated with a blend of soy sauce, herbs and spices before being slow-roasted for hours, resulting in a gorgeous crispy skin yet still moist, tender meat. 

The other dish that stayed with me was the Pork Tripe with Whole Farm Chicken (RM250). Thoroughly cleaned and stuffed with a whole farm chicken, the pork tripe is simmered for 3 hours, and the broth  stewed for another three hours. The collagen-rich soup has a distinctive gelatinous texture, peppery heat and a fitting tribute to Cantonese soups. 

Not to mention the delectable Honey Glazed Iberico Pork Ribs, Golden Beancurd with Abalone and Sea Cucumber  and Wok-fried Flat Rice Noodles with Fresh Water Prawn and Scallop. These were all also delectable, especially the silky smooth noodles, glistening with delicious egg gravy.

Mid Autumn festival will also soon be upon us and Concorde features lovely, pretty lacquer boxes filled with scrumptious mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn season. 

Each elegantly handcrafted box is adorned with delicate floral motifs and fine detailing that can be reused as elegant organisers for jewellery, accessories or festive treats.

The Elegant Four is a tribute to noble virtues represented while Four Seasons Bloom is inspired by nature’s rhythm, highlighting the seasonal beauty. The curated selection of halal-certified mooncakes offer timeless classics like Lotus Paste with Single Yolk and Red Bean, to luxurious snowskin innovations such as Musang King Durian and Longan Wolfberry. The Lacquer Gift Sets are RM160 for a Set of 4 Mooncakes.
