There is no need to travel to Beijing to sample the famous Peking duck delicacy. Here, at Concorde’s Xin Cuisine Chinese Restaurant, traditional Peking duck is featured throughout the month of March.

The Peking duck was first created and introduced by the palace chefs back in the Ming Dynasty where only exceptional quality dishes were cooked for the emperor. The preparation of the dish is rather interesting but time consuming. The duck have to be inflated to separate the skin from the fat.

Duck Leg Confit served with Fondantes Potatoes topped with a slice of Pan Fried Goose Liver

The duck confit was slightly on the dry side but the goose liver was the star despite the cameo role it was made to play. The roast potatoes was crunchy with a bite, and the vegetables mask the saltiness of the meat. It was a perfect combination except for the tenderness that was maybe missing somewhere. For RM78, i would order this again though.

Dordogne Salad with Goose Liver Terrine, Gizzards Confit, Smoked Magret of Duck and Marinated Sultanas in Cognac Vinaigrette

Available under their Gourmet Menu RM 148. With generous portions of terrine and duck breast pieces, this was not what i expected of a dainty salad. It was a muscular and filling salad and definitely could be a meal for a lady. The pieces of confit, was like pork lard to me, crunchy and absolutely gave the salad a crunch, just like croutons.

Restaurant: The C. Club, Kuala Lumpur

THE VIBE
The C. Club is not just an annexe offering expensive “bling-bling” to arouse the desire of the rich and famous, but it is also a showcase of life’s finer things which encompass wining and dining. The interior of the C. Club is absolutely stunning. With the significance of the spiral staircase, cascading crystal chandeliers, sleek black floor and an open space Moon Terrace overlooking the hustle and bustle of the cityscape, it’s all about glamour and style.

THE FOOD
My gastronomic indulgence began as I sat down on the cosy sofa. As one browses through the menu, there is the wine list, giving the first hint of what is to come. Every wine has symbolic and detailed descriptions to guide diner to the dry, sweet, fruity, peppery, or oaky wines. Besides, the menu veers from delicately priced, delicious snacks, salads, and desserts to competitively-priced and well-prepared exciting main courses visuals. As I was sipping though Sunset whilst waiting for my food, an instant sense of aesthetic surrounded me as my eyes lingered through the expensive “wares” and the very relaxed setting overwhelmed.

For appetisers, Chef Jimmy Liew a.k.a. sous chef did minor improvisation; soups were served as a combination of two mini starters. The Cream of Forest Mushroom with truffle chantilly or better known as the mushroom soup is definitely my all-time favourite. Not forgetting the crouton, added texture to the soup. Well, it does require good taste buds to differentiate
