Birthday Celebration at Royal Plaza Chinese Restaurant

How could a simple birthday dinner be enough for Mr. Liu's birthday? On this day, we gathered a large group of friends to enjoy Chinese cuisine and celebrate once again. We chose Royal Plaza Chinese Restaurant at the Royal Plaza Hotel in Mong Kok to savor the Summer Feast, perfect for this hot weather. Starting off was the "Triple Delight"! This included Osmanthus Shrimp Dumplings, Foie Gras Bean Curd Rolls, and Chilled Wasabi Eggplant. The vibrant colors alone were enough to whet my appetite. Osmanthus Shrimp Dumplings! The translucent three-colored skin was visually stunning and had a chewy texture. Inside, it was filled with sweet mantis shrimp and fresh shrimp meat, accompanied by a subtle osmanthus fragrance—absolutely delicious. Chilled Wasabi Eggplant! The eggplant was soft, smooth, and chilled, paired with a mildly spicy wasabi sauce that was incredibly refreshing. Foie Gras Bean Curd Rolls! Inside the bean curd skin were indulgent black pork chunks and foie gras paste, making each bite crispy and irresistibly flavorful. Mexican Abalone and Truffle Scrambled Eggs! The abalone, cooked in abalone sauce, was aromatic and sweet, paired with fragrant truffle scrambled eggs to create this delicate dish. Matsutake White Jade Millet Duck Leg Soup! The clear broth carried a rich duck aroma, enhanced by the mushroom fragrance of matsutake, turning the white jade millet into the highlight of the soup. Plum Pepper Lobster Balls! Fresh and bouncy local lobster was paired with homemade plum pepper sauce, adding a tangy and mildly spicy flavor. The dish was perfected with pumpkin sauce and spinach as the base. Tree Vine Eggplant, Celtuce, and Peach Gum with Grouper Balls! Pan-seared grouper balls floated in fish soup, offering a firm texture and rich flavor. The addition of smooth peach gum and crunchy celtuce strips added layers to the dish. Salted Salmon and Crab Meat Five-Grain Rice! Stir-fried with flavorful salmon and crab meat, the five-grain rice offered a delightful ocean taste and a distinct texture. We also ordered two dishes from the "Summer Delights" menu! Malaysian Curry Baked Local Lobster with French Bread ($438), featuring lobster cooked in aromatic coconut milk curry. The enticing aroma was irresistible. The tender and flavorful lobster was served on crispy toast, fully infused with Southeast Asian flavors. It made us crave a bowl of white rice to soak up the curry sauce. Lime Lemongrass Pepper Baked Free-Range Chicken ($288/half)! The combination of lime, lemongrass, and pepper was a guaranteed hit, especially with fresh free-range chicken, showcasing its rich yet non-greasy flavor to perfection. For dessert, we had the adorable Jade Rabbit Custard Glutinous Rice Dumplings! The chewy glutinous rice dumplings were filled with sweet and smooth custard, both visually and tastefully delightful—too cute not to eat. Tokachi Red Bean 3.6 Milk Pudding! The Tokachi red beans were aromatic and sweet, while the 3.6 milk pudding was silky smooth, leaving our skin feeling instantly rejuvenated. Finally, we celebrated with the birthday star by sharing the Royal Delights Orange Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch Mousse Cake ($420/lb).
