The decor is reminiscent of the grand ancestral homes of Chinese-Malaysian dignitaries of the late 19th century. Asian artifacts and ornate chandeliers add to the patrons dining experience in this classic Chinese restaurant. Chinese chefs showcase their expertise in the open kitchen with a display of their culinary skills at their flaming woks. Seven exquisite private rooms allow guests an intimate ambience for private gatherings.

Starting off the menu meant selecting a wine perfect for our meal. As we all three had different choices in mind, there was a varied selection of Ballinger, Moet & Chandon, Veuve Clicquat and a nice list of New World reds and whites.

There are so many delicious specialties that I will just give you some of the dishes that I consider to be menu highlights. First of course, are the appetizers; Deep-fried crispy eel coated with honey sauce and roasted sesame seeds is perfect, but, if the fact that it is eel makes it hard to digest then try the equally delicious deep-fried crispy aromatic duck. The restaurant boast's some classic dishes, such as; Shark’s fin and bird’s nest, Stewed superior shark's fin with crab claw in abalone broth and Braised superior shark's fin with bird’s nest broth.

Choices of seafood are equally inticing, with fresh garoupa braised with beancurd dough, wok-baked Australian lobster with butter and chopped garlic, and live crab braised with vermicelli in spicy sauce.

Meat lovers will certainly not be disappointed. Stir fried venison with crispy dough fritters and water chestnuts is absolutely delicious as is the stir-fried beef tenderloin with black pepper. The alternate meat choices are also hard to resist with crispy roasted chicken topped with fragrant spicy sauce a popular dish. And don't miss out on the traditional Peking duck with it's crispy skin and succulent tasting meat. There are some that can't eat any Chinese meal without rice or noodles and some of the most popular selections are the braised e-fu noodles with duo of mushrooms and shrimp roe, fried egg noodles with assorted seafood and vegetables, and the Lai Po Heen’s special fried rice.

After such a fantastic meal there is only one way to finish it off, and that's with their signature dessert of durian flesh with cream wrapped in a very light crepe, making it pancake-style.
