Mothers' Day on the 12th May 2007We had our dinner at Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant at Marriott Hotel. It is an authentic Cantonese Cuisine. They have a award wining Dim Sum Chef.
Setting of the Dinner: The setting was cozy, restaurant is romantically lit.
My dad and I had the minced beef soup with fresh crab meat, water chestnuts and straw mushroom in egg white broth. Because of the crab meat and the egg broth, I find that it taste a bit like sharks fins. Price: $12
Daniel, my mom and my brother had this broth of fish maw, conpoy, shredded duck, chicken, BBQ honey glazed pork and mushroom. Price $12
My Sis had their Hot and sour seafood broth with sea cucumber, bomboo shoots and wood fungus. Price $10
Greens: Vegetable with 3 types of eggs -- Century Eggs, preserved eggs and Egg white with spinanch Price: $16
YUMMY!!! Our favourite COD FISH!!! Price: $45
This is their speciality: Deep-fried spare ribs with fresh strawberries and grand marnier sauce (Wel-know french liqueurs). Price: $22 This is really good... Must try!!
UNFORTUNATELY, we waited for 15min for the final dish (fried duck with yam) to come. We complained a few times as we finished everything and we were just waiting for this dish to come. Finally we gave up waiting as they told us that we will have to wait for about 10 min more so we canceled our last dish and settled for dessert.
My dad, mom and Daniel had their Hot Cashew Nut dessert. Price: $6
My bro and sis had their Hot Glutinous rice with red bean paste and Soursop Sorbet. Price: $8
I had their speciality: Golden Japanese Pear ("Li")with Sour Plum Jelly and Lim Sorbet.
Rating of this restaurant 8 out of 10. Mainly because of their special dishes and desserts. Food quality 7.5 out of 10 and however 9 out of 10 for creativity of dishes.

Ha! My Hotel Intercontinental privilege card (2 person, 50% discount on food) is coming to an end.. I will be eating 3 times at the hotel this week!!! The food at Man Fu Yuen -- Cantonese Rest is average however expensive. We had a $40 discount and 20% discount on Food for 5 person and yet it cost $180, if we did not have the discount it will cost about $280!! Without the discount, I would not recommend the food here.
On May DayShark Cartilage Soup (Sounds gross, but it's taste is not too bad)
"Wu Xi" Spare ribs with Man Tou (Sweet Bread)
"Hashima" with Fuji Apple (Forest Frog Fats -- Cheaper version of Birds Nest)
Another gross thingy.. But this is really good to eat and it is said to be good for complexion, it's sweet and taste like jelly. It's a must-try delicacy, can be found at many chinese restautants)
That's all for today.
PS: Oh Chris Richardson (AKA Justin Timberlake) from American Idol is voted out!!
