Saturday, April 07, 2007 second time @ Majestic [[second time @ Majestic]]  sis and I before lunchWe started off with the Peking Duck. (My childhood food!) Initially, I thought that it didnt look too appetising. I think they changed the presentation from the last time when we went. But in any case, it didn't fail me. The skin of the duck was still warm and very crispy. The plum flavoured sauce was a great compliment to that as well.   The third dish I had was the crispy deep fried prawn with wasabi dressing. I thought this as very normal, nothing unexpected. The batter was light and the prawns were not too oily. Wasabi dressing always go well with crispy prawns I feel. So it was already a sure winner. I love the tiny bits of mango that they added to the dish cause it added a little sweetness and a lot of joy in eating.  The fourth dish was a shared one- crispy chicken in thai dressing. My dad wanted to order this one for my sis as she loves chicken. I thought that it would be ordinary but this one is really good. The chicken skin was very crispy yet the chef was able to retain the tenderness of the chicken meat. The dressing was really good I feel- sour and spicy(it's really quite spicy) with a tinge of sweetness from the mango. The fifth dish was one of its signature dishes the pan-fried carrot cake. I don't know how they do it but this was perfect. Without being too oily, all the flavours are captured in the carrot cake pieces. My sis really loves this one  The last dish was the most disappointing of all the dishes- Fried rice with duck meat. I guess from the start duck meat doesn't go well with fried rice. Another thing was that I feel that they could do with more garlic. I simply ADORE garlic especially in fried rice. After a satisfying lunch, we headed to Goodwood park hotel to buy my sis's favourite Durian mousse cake, much to my despair. So there's a huge DURIAN cake in my fridge right now. WAILS
