Mandarin Oriental, Jakarta’s Cantonese restaurant Li Feng has just announced that it will welcome chef Fei for a special two-day feast. This time, the award-winning Jiang by Chef Fei restaurant at Mandarin Oriental, Guangzhou will prepare an exclusive Four Hands à la carte culinary experience for lunch and dinner with Jakarta restaurant’s executive Chinese chef, Yang Guojian.
They will prepare an authentic Cantonese culinary experience modified to suit Indonesians’ taste preferences. Chef Fei has served as the consultant of the hotel’s restaurant since 2016 and every year it collaborates with him to create special culinary events. This year’s special event, which will also mark the debut of the restaurant’s new menu, will take place on 16 and 17 October from 11.30am to 2.30pm (lunch) and 6pm to 10pm (dinner).
The event will highlight both chefs’ seafood creations like the Steamed Coral Grouper and the Steamed Mud Crab with Prawn Paste, both prepared with the Cantonese preserved yellow bell pepper sauce. The homemade sauce is made from the fruits which are finely sliced marinated with salt and vinegar, before being fermented for 15 to 30 days to give the sauce a unique sour and spicy flavour.
Another highlight is the Steamed Crystal King Prawn with Egg and Preserved Bean Curd Lobster Broth. The restaurant’s team carefully prepares the prawns, removing both the outer red skin and the second inner layer, leaving just the delicate white flesh. The prawns are slow-cooked to maintain their soft and tender texture.
Meanwhile, the Preserved Bean Curd Lobster Broth has a texture similar to that of a steamed egg dish and is served with fermented bean curd to give it an earthy taste.
Dumpling lovers will be very satisfied with the Steamed Xiao Long Bao Dumpling with Crab Meat, which filling also includes other types of seafood such as lobsters. The dumpling dough is made of wheat flour, creating a thin yet chewy texture which blends well with the rich filling.
