Located in Bandar Shopping Centre, The Ming Room has long been a staple for authentic Cantonese cuisine. Since its establishment in 2003, it has earned a stellar reputation as one of the most distinguished Chinese restaurants in the Bangsar and Damansara area. Now, with a refreshed ambiance following its recent refurbishment, The Ming Room continues to impress with its elegant setting and exquisite culinary creations.
Our visit was a delightful culinary journey, and we had the opportunity to try some of the latest must-try specialties. Here’s a closer look at the delectable dishes we savored:
Prawn Salad Honeydew Bowl
A refreshing and vibrant start to our meal, this dish featured plump, succulent prawns tossed in a creamy dressing, beautifully presented in a carved honeydew bowl. The natural sweetness of the honeydew complemented the fresh prawns perfectly, offering a light yet indulgent bite.
Stuffed Bird’s Nest Chicken Wing & Bamboo Pith with Superior Soup
A showcase of the chef’s expertise, the chicken wing was meticulously deboned and stuffed with bird’s nest, creating a delightful contrast of textures. Paired with the delicate flavors of bamboo pith and a deeply flavorful superior soup, this dish was both nourishing and elegant.
Fiery Cherry Duck
A masterpiece of flavors, the Fiery Cherry Duck was roasted to perfection with a beautifully crisp skin and tender meat beneath. The addition of cherry sauce added a subtle sweetness, perfectly balancing the rich and smoky taste of the duck. A must-try for those who appreciate a modern twist on traditional Cantonese roast meats.
Braised Live Grouper with Chef’s Special Sauce
Fresh and expertly prepared, the live grouper was tender and flaky, absorbing the deep, umami-rich flavors of the chef’s special sauce. The sauce had just the right balance of savory and aromatic notes, making each bite incredibly satisfying.
Iberico Pork Ribs in Banana Leaf
A standout dish, these Iberico pork ribs were marinated to perfection, with the banana leaf wrapping infusing a subtle fragrance. The meat was incredibly tender, practically falling off the bone, and packed with a delightful depth of flavor. A true indulgence for pork lovers.
Steamed Rice with Pork Ribs, Hong Kong Chinese Liver Sausage & Preserved Vegetables
A comforting and hearty dish, the steamed rice was beautifully infused with the rich flavors of the pork ribs, smoky liver sausage, and preserved vegetables. Every bite carried a nostalgic and satisfying taste, reminiscent of traditional Hong Kong claypot rice.
Musang King Ice Cream & Mango Tart
Ending our meal on a high note, the Musang King ice cream was pure durian bliss—creamy, pungent, and absolutely luxurious. Paired with a light and buttery mango tart, this dessert was a delightful balance of tropical flavors.
“Dang Ying” Red Bean Pumpkin Ball with Banana
A unique and enjoyable dessert, the crispy pumpkin ball had a delightful chewiness, giving way to a warm red bean filling with a hint of banana. The combination of textures and flavors made it a perfect ending to our Cantonese feast.
