Yu | Tasty Liaison

I have been to Yu several times before but this time, it would be different because they have brought in a new award winning worthy chef.

Yu is like no other Chinese restaurant in Perth . When you walk into Yu, its opulence will welcome you making you feel special. I felt like Gong Li in Curse of the Golden Flower as I walked into the private room. Its decor really is as up to standard to the restaurants in Hong Kong.

I cannot be a good judge of the service because we had been given a personal waiter from the Pearl room. He was obviously very attentive to us. When Aunt Julie noticed the same waiter from the Pearl Suite to the restaurant – I joked that Burswood had a lack of staff.

I love the gold…so elegant.

Pickled cabbage, fried tofu in some yum sauce and braised peanuts.

Good looks run in the family

Cabernet Sauvignon by Mosswood. Delightful

The sea salt prawns were deep fried in a light batter. I liked that it was not oily.

The peking style ribs also had a perfect texture – the inside being juicy and tender.

This is a first for me at Yu, the Sambal scallops were really tasty.

My favourite would be the steamed barramundi. Its flesh was firm yet moist. Nothing stuck to the bones – a show of freshness of the fish. There was no fishy taste to it. It was done perfectly. Another good fish I like is the sea bass… fat fish taste so good when its steamed.

Steamed Barramundi..amazing

Since they only had two small snow crabs available, we went with a few lobsters with noodles. Lovely but I was very disappointed since I was looking forward to snow crab ALL day.
