After a period of extensive renovations, Toh Yuen Chinese Restaurant at Hilton Petaling Jaya is once again welcoming guests with an exciting new menu. This October, the restaurant reopened its doors, offering diners not just a refreshed space but also a refined dining experience that pays homage to classic Chinese cuisine while introducing innovative new dishes. The reopening brings together Toh Yuen’s legacy with contemporary culinary artistry, giving food lovers much to look forward to.
A Highlight of Expertise: The Toasted Peking Silver Hill Duck
One of the standout stars of the reopening menu is the Toasted Peking Silver Hill Duck. Toh Yuen has gone to great lengths to source its duck from Silver Hill, a well-known farm in London that has been raising ducks for over 50 years. This farm is renowned for its premium-quality birds, perfectly balancing fat and muscle layers for an indulgent taste experience. The result is a tender, succulent duck that captures the hearts of many diners.
To further elevate this dish, Toh Yuen’s chefs use a special oven imported directly from Peking, China, a city celebrated for its Peking Duck. This advanced technology allows them to perfect the cooking process, ensuring that every bite is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, making it a must-try for duck lovers.
