Tasting @ Joy and Joy

Joy and Joy (Central)
Thanks to Joy and Joy for inviting me to their tasting event.

Heres what we tried:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Drunken pigeon:

The pigeon meat had soaked the wine, giving a strong taste, and the meat itself is more flavoursome than chicken so it was a perfect paring of wine and pigeon. Duck would have been nice but duck meat is too strong and the skin is very fatty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Smoked vegetarian goose rolls:

These rolls are a good dish for vegetarians because it is light and healthy with lots of julienne vegetables wrapped in the beancurd skin.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Honey glazed roasted pork:

Delicious succulent pieces of roast pork.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed minced pork dumpling with prawn:

The dumplings here are HUGE because of the prawns.
It was springy and meaty and the diameter of these dumplings were at least 1.5 inches.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Deep fried wontons:

These wontons were so crispy filled with delicious springy prawns inside.
All you could hear was crack, crack and more crackling of the wonton skins.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Double boiled fish maw with pig's lungs and freshly grounded almond soup:

The soup was extremely nice because there was a strong almond taste and fragrance.
There were lots of ingredients in the soup shown on the picture on the left.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Deep fried scallop and prawn wrapped in bacon:

The prawns and scallops were an interesting fusion of East meets the West in the cuisine because they were wrapped in bacon giving it a smokey salty taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Giant garoupa cooked in two ways - deep fried head and tail, sauteed garoupa filet:

Both the fried and sauteed styles were good, the fish was firm and springy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Poached baby cabbage with yunnan ham:


The soup was quite nice but perhaps a little salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Braised rice casserole with chicken and abalone sauce:

The rice casserole looked like risotto because there was a lot of sauce.
It was rich with lots of chicken in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Baked almond cream buns:



The almond cream buns reminded me of the ones at Dim Sum Bar.
It oozed with delicious almond filling in the middle.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed glutinous rice cakes with ginger juice:
The rice cakes looked like Thai layered puddings with the same texture, it was layers of white and brown with a ginger taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Freshly grounded sweet walnut soup:
The sweet walnut soup was quite nice and not too sweet.
