13 Way Modern Chinoise

Chik Kut Teh

This contemporary Chinese restaurant’s creativity drew us back for signature recipes like Way’s interpretation of ‘chik kut teh’ (RM26 before taxes), herb-laced chicken that’s pan-fried & partnered with bean curd strips, meant to be evocative of bak kut teh.

2 Way Modern Chinoise

Red Duck

Love Way’s “Red Duck,” expensive at RM60 for half a duck, but irreproachably crisp-skinned & succulent-fleshed.

3 Way Modern Chinoise

Crispy Lion Fish

Presentation-wise, this “Crispy Lion Fish” is certainly an eye-grabber.

4 Way Modern Chinoise

Basically battered grouper, very meaty & expertly executed.

5 Way Modern Chinoise

Stir-fried Basmati Rice

Ultimately, it’s tough to find fault with how the food here is prepared: all things considered, Way’s basmati rice stir-fried with bits of scallops, abalone & crab roe is probably worth the steep-looking RM42 price tag.

6 Way Modern Chinoise

Side Dish

For fiber: Sauteed dragon leaves with garlic (RM26).

7 Way Modern Chinoise

Desserts

Desserts are fun to check out too: Musang King durian pancakes with cream (RM14).

8 Way Modern Chinoise

Grapefruit & sago topped with mango mousse (RM16), a chilled refreshment to combat the heat outside.

9 Way Modern Chinoise

Beverages

Opt for tea …
