Skyview Fusion Restaurant

For my mom's birthday, after an elegant classic afternoon tea affair at the Ritz Carlton, we zoomed from one food appointment to another. We headed straight to Skyview Fusion Restaurant for an evening of delightful Chinese food.

Skyview has also been one of my parents' favourite restaurants. After closing down for a little bit to renovate, we were eager to go back and see what the renovated space looks like. 
With the renovation, it was much spacious than before, making for a better venue for weddings and events. 

We skimmed our fingers up and down the menu and ended up with a "family set dinner", with a few modifications and an addition of their famous honey BBQ pork, in which my 5-year old nephew can devour a whole plate by himself.

Our menu consist of:

  • BBQ pork with beans
  • Roasted suckling pig & jelly fish
  • Diced seafood in pumpkin soup
  • Pan-fried fillet of steak in sweet & sour sauce
  • Braised vegetable with fish maw
  • Steamed chicken 
  • Steamed scallop on silken tofu in black bean & garlic sauce
  • Steamed fish in soy sauce
  • Lobster stir fry
  • Dessert
The roasted suckling pig was crunchy, and albeit a tad salty, delicious. I've had plenty of suckling pig in the past, and I've always judged them by their crunchiness, and the fat to meat ratio.
Next, came the seafood pumpkin soup, which I've never tried before. I'm not even sure if it's traditional Chinese food, but it doesn't matter because it was creamy deliciousness with the perfect balance of flavour.
Next, came a flurry of dishes - chicken, scallops, beef, etc. The kitchen was so efficient, too efficient really, that we had all our 10 courses within 30 mins. Our tables were overflowing, and we had to send back the chicken for later. It was a bit annoying, and I wish they would pace the courses better.
That being said, I couldn't find fault with the food. It was all in all, a very satisfying meal.
