The Elite Seafood Restaurant Launch (Previously Ah Yat Abalone Forum Restaurant PJ)
Just last week, I had the opportunity to drop by The Elite Seafood Restaurant, where they open their doors to diners in Klang Valley after an extensive round of refurbishment and rebranding. Previously the restaurant was known as Ah Yat Abalone Forum Restaurant PJ, a name most have heard of and I'm sure have had the chance to dine there too.

#1 Portuguese Roast Piglet served with Hokkaido Crab Leg Avocado Salad

The accompanying Hokkaido Crab Leg Avocado Salad |
We were given a taste of some of the unique dishes that The Elite Seafood Restaurant has to offer. The first dish that came out was the Portuguese Roast Piglet served with Hokkaido Crab Leg Avocado Salad shown above. The portuguese roast piglet was carved out and served in this really thin crispy piece on bread, which tasted divine. The accompanying Hokkaido Crab Leg Avocado Salad was basically mashed avacado served with rather exotic crab leg, shredded cabbage, in light mayonnaise sauce.
#2 Double-boiled Chicken Soup in Coconut |
The second dish served was the Double-boiled Chicken Soup in Coconut which came rather creatively served in a coconut. This clear double-boiled chicken soup with nutritious sea coconut and
lotus seed has got a very light flavor to it, with a hint of natural sweetness from
the coconut itself. I have always loved double boiled soups as they really bring out the taste and essence of the chicken.
#3 Prawn in Two Varieties with Fish Roe |
Not a very big fan of prawns, the next dish, Prawn in Two Varieties with Fish Roe did come beautifully laid out on the plate. One of it had a black colour to it from the added charcoal powder. The pastries it was placed on had a flaky texture to it, without being too buttery. Two types of fish roe was used as well in this dish.
#4 Braised Abalone with Sea Cucumber and Mushroom
|
Next, we had the signature dish from The Elite Seafood Restaurant, Braised Abalone with Sea Cucumber and Mushroom. Abalones, I don't get to have it often, hence when presented with one whole abalone piece in this dish, I must say I enjoyed it. Served with mushrooms, and brocolli in their special sauce, the gravy was quite nice, not too starchy nor diluted, without being too salty.
#5 Fried Beef with Mushroom and Liquor
|
Now I love my beefs, especially when it's stir fried with sauces that bring out its flavour. Here at The Elite, their Fried Beef with Mushroom and Liquor came doused in tasty sauces to tantalize our taste buds. The beef slices were soft and tender, stir fried with Cointreau,
a triple sec liquor that is made from the dried peels of bitter and sweet
orange. It gives the dish a rather nice mild orange-flavored sweetness.
#6 Fried Rice with Spinach Juice |
One of the staple dish for any Chinese course lunch or dinner would be the fried rice. Here, we were given a unique iteration of the usual fried rice, the Fried Rice with Spinach Juice. It looked really green at a glance due to the spinach juice added inside, I would say this was a much healthier variation of fried
rice with a light earthy flavour. The chef prepared it together with prawns and slices of fish to give that extra
bite, texture and taste.
#7 Baked Egg Tart with Bird's Nest |
Now I've had my fair share of egg tarts before, but to have one with Bird's Nest was a totally different experience in itself. Our dessert that afternoon was The Elite's Baked Egg Tart with Bird's Nest. A generous amount of the superior
bird's nest was added on top of a freshly baked bite-sized egg tart. The egg tart itself was smooth and had that creamy flavour you would expect from a good egg tart.
Despite its name change, the restaurant maintains the same unique characteristics that have long made Ah Yat an all-time favourite among seafood enthusiasts. Owned by Unique Seafood Group of Restaurants – one of Malaysia's largest suppliers of live seafood – diners can rest assure that there is always a fresh and abundant supply of seafood at the restaurant.
