YOUNG HEART RESTAURANT (养心殿) Invited Review (Part II)

Continued from YOUNG HEART RESTAURANT (养心殿) Invited Review (Part I)

3+1杯雞麵 3+1 Cup Chicken Noodle (RM7.80+RM1.00) My rating : 7/10

The '3' represents sesame oil (麻油), soya sauce (醬油)and hua diao wine (花雕酒). The additonal '+1' represents chillies (辣椒). This version has fairer colour of sauce and tasted differently from ordinary three-cup-chicken as with the addition of chillies it became more appetizing. The handmade noodle texture is thick but smooth to 'slurp'.



The chicken was cut in big chunks, however I would prefer the chicken to be smaller in size and noodle portion to be more instead. Why?! because I often finished off the noodles fast and still got chickens left behind. :)


莲藕腊肠炒饭 Lotus & Wax Sausage Fried Rice (RM8.80) . My rating : 6/10

This fried rice comes with lotus root, wax sausages, carrot and fried egg. The flavour for this fried rice is richer if compared to the pumpkin fried rice due to the addition of wax sausage. I somehow prefer the latter though. *I was biased uh as I felt that the 'pumpkin' sounded more 'healthy' lah! :) *.



豉油王煎三文魚頭 Pan Fried Salmon Head (RM15.00) . My rating : 7/10


Unlike Japanese grilled salmon, this one is oriental-style grilled with soya sauce. For those who prefer to have gravy or sauce overpowering the fishy taste, you perhaps got to let go this dish then. :) My friends enjoyed this dish as they found that the fish head flesh is much more delicate than normal salmon steak.

梅菜雞 (須預定) Pickled Cabbage Stuff Chicken (Whole Bird-RM28.00) -Need pre-booking. My rating : 6/10

This is to be served for 4-6 persons. If you do not plan to order any other chicken dishes,then this is a good choice. The mooi choy is pretty appetizing but more towards sweetness with slight sourish. The chicken texture is however seemed to be drier at inner part.

It's very addictive if every mouthful can be filled with that thin chicken skin + dipping with gravy + mooi choy, definitely good to eat with a small bowl of rice.

See how beautiful the chicken is being cut by ourselves? Don't worry, you have ample space to try your 'skill' if you are dining upstair OK?!

狗仔鸭（須預定）Braised Duck with Special Bean Paste (Need pre-booking) (Half-RM20.00 / Whole-RM38.00). My rating : 7/10

The name itself is fancy enough. The duck texture is soft and it's flavourful when braised with gelanggal ginger (南薑) . A dish to hunt for for those who fancy extraordinary kind of cooking style.

炭煮猪手醋 Braised Sweet & Sour Black Trotter (M-RM9.00 / L-RM16.00) . My rating : 6/10

Too sweet to my liking. The one we had that night is having lean part more in ratio compared to fatty part. You couldn't believe that I like to eat fatty part hor? Well, it depends on what kind of dishes lah ok?! :)

蜂蜜檸檬海椰Honey Lemon Sea Coconut (RM6.00). My rating : 7/10

This one tasted like 'tuak' initially when I had my first sip. They said I turned a bit 'dizzy' after half glass as I started to talk nonsense. :) Could I term it as a healthy cocktail, perhaps?! :)

黃金豆漿Pumpkin, Soya Bean Milk (RM6.00) . My rating : 9/10

This one is more flavourful and richer than soya bean milk alone. I like this combination.

花香馬蹄糕 Old School Pan Fried Water Chestnut Cake - 4pcs (RM5.00) . My rating : 8/10

The water chesnut cake has the mild sweetness from Osmanthus (桂花) and charmomile (洋菊) . Don't squeeze the lemon juice onto the cake if not you'll end up having a 'funny' look on your face like me. Before putting into your mouth, you can try sweeping the cake to and fro on the lemon slices instead, that will give you a slight sourish taste to ease the oiliness of this dessert.

無間道Banana, Black Sesame, Soya Bean Milk (RM6.80) My rating : 7/10

This combination is unbelievably matching! It's thick but not 'jilak'.

香草綜合莓果Mix Berry Vanilla - Ice Blended (RM6.00). My rating : 5/10. Too sweet for me.

芒果花園Mango Puree & Sago Pudding – Dessert (RM4.50) . My rating : 9/10

All my friends love this colourful dessert. Its mild sweetness won our hearts! A great dessert to finish off our meal is indeed very satisfactory!
