Last week, Hubby treated me to a very nice lunch at The Han Room. It's Hubby's first visit here, but he was impressed with the food. I have been before when the restaurant newly opened last year (read review here).
We came after lunch peak hours, so no problems getting a table. We did notice that the restaurant was still very busy (and this, on a weekday - looks like it's very popular with the office crowd). Food service was very quick, we didn't have to wait very long for our appetizers to arrive.
Braised nuts (RM3) and Jasmine tea
I loved this dish on my previous visit, so I did not hesitate in ordering this again. The tangy flavours of the "Paku" vegetables with spicy sauce (RM8) certainly did its job in whetting our appetite. Even Hubby loved this!
And look what we found.. a heart-shaped onion ring ;)
We have heard some good things about the char siew here (BBQ pork), so we ordered a portion to try. The portion looks a little small, but it was sufficient for two of us to share. We felt it was pretty good too, but not as good as Toast & Roast. Quite juicy, nicely caramelised but a bit on the lean side. We wanted to try the siew yoke too, but changed our mind because I ordered too much. LOL.
BBQ Char Siew (RM16)
I ordered the Deep Fried Chicken Wing with Glutinous Rice (RM9) from the "Special Chef's Recommendation's menu section. A bit expensive for a single chicken wing, which is literally just a wing stuffed with glutinous rice. Crispy, but nothing special.
This very simple noodle dish which Hubby ordered turned out to be one of the best things we ate here. The braised egg noodle village style (RM24) had all the right ingredients needed for a great dish - good texture and good flavours. If I'm not mistaken, there wasn't even any meat in there but the stock, mushrooms, beancurd, greens and smooth noodles was enough to make this a winner. Would definitely reorder this again.
They have a really huge menu here, still loads that I would love to return and try.
Verdict: Very tasty Chinese food, and fast service.

Hi Baby Sumo, delicious meals all look so good. I especially like the braised peanuts, I often cook and kept in the fridge to eat as and when I like. Nice to eat with porridge.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day, regards.
We didn't order the peanuts, it is served to every table. I dont really like to eat peanuts so Hubby finishes it all on his own ;P
DeleteDunno about the paku but the char siew looks breathtaking, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteThe char siew was the main reason we went to The Han Room. Glad it was good!
DeleteTheir Village-style noodles is my fave :-) Never fail to order it.
ReplyDeleteThat dish totally impressed us! Loved it to bits.
DeleteWow...the dishes looks good. I think I want to bring HB here when his birthday comes... ;-)
ReplyDeleteOK Cool, hope he likes it! I think if u go weekend, maybe need to go early (or make reservation) cos very busy lah!
Deletenot bad huh..
ReplyDeletenext time can try there..
The food is certainly delicious, and pricing OK also for shopping mall.
Deletewah.. luxurious Fried Rice! the foie gras looked caramelized ....drool...
ReplyDeletethe paku is served chilled right?
The foie gras is served with a rich, sweet sauce, which goes nicely with the rice.
DeleteAnd yes, the paku is a cold appetizer.
There is a similar dish of paku at LYJ Sungi Buloh, the vege served cold right?
ReplyDeleteYUp, with a sourish, spicy sauce. Think they use lime. And then topped with fried shallots and some raw onions.
DeleteYummy, i shall note this down for my next visit. My cousin lives near Mid Valley and we go there often when I visit.
ReplyDeleteOH you must tell me when u come by next time! I'll bring u there for lunch :D
DeleteFried rice with foie gras? What a genius combination!
ReplyDeleteI think quite many Japanese establishments serve tht, but it comes with a high price tag. For the medium slab of foie here, the price was quite reasonable. And of cos it was delicious too! :D
Deletequite a reasonable price for the foie gras fried rice, especially since so many foie gras dishes at other places cost above RM50 now, even for small pieces. mmmm, the egg noodle looks like total comfort food for evenings when i suffer from carbohydrate cravings :D
ReplyDeleteThat was my exact thought, no hesitation in ordering it here!
DeleteCONGRATULATIONS ON PASSING 1 MILLION PAGE VIEWS
ReplyDeleteAt your current rate of views you will be celebrating this milestone annually :-)
Keep up the good work
Thank u for your support, Hubby! I am delighted with this milestone. :)
DeleteThe char siu looks fantastic! *sigh* It's just not quite the same here :(
ReplyDeleteI guess that's why I never make my own char siu in KL! Too easy to get good ones here.
DeleteIt's so appetizing, I could just eat a whole bowl on my own lah. :)
ReplyDeleteI want to try that foie gras fried rice! :P
ReplyDeleteIt's nice.. should try ;)
DeleteBy looking at the name of the restaurant, I would have thought that this is a Korean restaurant but it is in fact a chinese restaurant! The char siew looks gooooooood!I'm salivating!
