| <b>Di</b> Wei, Empire Hotel Subang (<b>Subang Jaya</b>) Posted: 22 Apr 2012 05:00 PM PDT  Wispy...almost melt-in-the-mouth tempura batter Since my last visit to Di Wei, the place has since undergone a makeover and Di Wei version 2.0 looks very different. The 'runway' is no longer there and the restaurant feels more spacious and open (my apologies for forgetting to take pictures of the place). That said, I'm glad the food remains just as good as I remembered it to be.  Spot the baby abalone! The cold jellyfish is quite a common appetizer – I also had this as part of the four seasons dish for my wedding dinner – but Di Wei's version came studded with baby abalone. Mildly tangy and crunchy in texture, the abalone added a nice chew to this refreshing appetizer.  Stuffed chicken wing The chicken wings stuffed with glutinous rice is a Di Wei specialty. The wings were deboned before the rice is added. To add umami to the wings, the chef seasoned the rice with soy sauce and some chicken stock. The skin of the chicken was nicely crisp and I liked that it didn't reek of 5-spice powder. I also enjoyed the crispy fried onion rings on top of the chicken; the onions were sweet and still juicy.  Juicy and tender pork rib Mongolian pork rib is something I rarely find in Chinese restaurants. Di Wei's version boasts a large and meaty piece of rib, deep-fried and placed on top of a sticky-sweet gravy base. I thought the gravy tasted like a cross of mushroom sauce and sweet bean sauce. Weird, but quite tasty. The pork was tender and incredibly succulent – I rather enjoyed this.  Moreish The vegetable tempura is a straightforward dish, but this was nicely executed, resulting in a wispy and almost melt-in-the-mouth batter. I liked that the vegetables still retained their crunchy and sweet nature, especially the sugar snaps.  Golden brown perfection To further insult our expanding waistline, we shared a plate of deep-fried cheese prawns. The batter for this was not as light compared to the vegetable tempura but it was good in its own way. It had an ideal balance of savoury, cheesy and garlicky flavour, which paired well with the juicy and firm prawns.  Porky delight  Accompanying clear broth The minced pork with egg noodles were lovely. If you're a fan of the beef noodles at Soong Kee and Ngau Kee, you might like this better. The springy noodles came with a generous sprinkle of pork lard and the pork mince topping was flavourful and moist. Good stuff.  Steamed sponge cake For desserts, we had the steamed layer cake with custard and deep-fried sesame balls. The sesame balls were stuffed to the brim and fried till the exterior is golden brown and crispy. I thought the layer cake tasted better than the one I had during my last visit. Although the texture was fluffy, it still had a substantial bite and the custard wasn't too sweet.  Sesame balls
Service was good throughout the night – I hope it's not just because my friend is a regular customer there. On a whole, the food was pretty decent and I liked how it's not to 'try hard'. Ambiance: 7/10 Di Wei  |
| Hannah Yeoh: Press Conference with P3KU Posted: 22 Apr 2012 11:32 PM PDT SUBANG JAYA - Licik apabila segelintir individu dikesan membuat kutipan derma dengan menyalahgunakan nama Persatuan Kebajikan Kanak-kanak Kurang Upaya Subang Jaya (P3KU) di beberapa pusat beli-belah sekitar Subang Jaya dan Kuala Lumpur sejak awal April lalu. Difahamkan, persatuan berkenaan melancarkan projek 'Running The Sahara' untuk kanak-kanak istimewa bagi mengumpul dana sebanyak RM100,000 bagi membuka sebuah pusat latihan untuk golongan kurang upaya berkenaan. Risalah kutipan derma yang diedarkan di sebuah pusat beli-belah di Subang Jaya di sini bagaimanapun didakwa dipergunakan segelintir individu untuk mengutip derma secara tunai. Timbalan Pengerusi persatuan itu, Lee Seok Khin berkata, beliau dimaklumkan mengenai perbuatan itu, 11 April lalu oleh seorang ahli jawatankuasa persatuan. Katanya, dia dimaklumkan ada pihak menyamar sebagai ahli persatuan mengutip derma di sebuah pusat beli-belah di Seri Petaling. "Saya terkejut kerana kutipan derma dilancarkan pada 3 Mac lalu hanya boleh dibuat penderma melalui bayaran cek atas nama persatuan bukan secara tunai. "Malah kita sudah berhenti meraih dana kerana kutipan yang diperoleh untuk mewujudkan pusat latihan kepada pelajar kurang upaya sudah mencukupi," katanya yang membuat laporan di Balai Polis UJS 8, 12 April lalu. Seorang lagi ahli persatuan, Foong Chui Khuen berkata, individu terbabit dipercayai menggunakan risalah yang hampir sama seperti dilancarkan persatuan. "Saya mendapat tahu individu terbabit turut mengutip derma di sekitar kedai makan di SS 15 dan SS19. Mereka seolah-olah seperti pelajar kolej berusia lingkungan 20-an. "Memang pihak kami tidak pernah melantik mana-mana individu untuk mengutip derma bagi pihak persatuan malah individu yang melakukan kutipan dana itu bukan ahli kami," katanya yang percaya individu terbabit menyalahgunakan nama persatuan untuk kepentingan sendiri. Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (Adun) Subang Jaya, Hannah Yeoh Tseow Suan ketika menerima aduan daripada ahli jawatankuasa persatuan itu menasihatkan orang ramai supaya berhati-hati ketika memberi sumbangan kepada orang tidak dikenali. |
