IE食神俠侶的嚐味生活: Chill out with drinks and Chinese cuisine @ Mian

In the pavilion of The Murray Hotel, Mián offers an outdoor area where guests can enjoy a cocktail before dining.

Our drinks are off menu and special of the day:

Whisky Punch

There is a nice touch of ginger in the Honey Whisky, which is actually quite sweet. Surprisingly, it complements our main course, Chili Lamb, perfectly.

Figy Sour

Refreshing taste but is strong. The drink is a mixture of gin and alcohol. This cocktail also works well as a balance for our spicy main course.

As the restaurant's chef Ronald Shao is Sichuan-born, we thought why not focus on spicy dishes?

Razor Clam. Aromatic Ginger 鮮沙薑礓蟶子皇 $198

A non-spicy appetizer to start with. The quantity is small, but the way it is served is elegant and therefore gains points. Whenever I eat razor clams, I always enjoy their chewy, meaty, sweet, and fresh taste.

Assorted seafood in claypot. chilli crab sauce. Vermicelli 香辣蟹醬粉絲海鮮煲 $298

In this dish, clams, shrimps, and squid are lightly fried with mild chili favored. They are placed on top of the vermicelli carefully so that the freshness of the seafood is not ruined by the chili. The vermicelli is spicy, juicy, and tasteful. It is also fried to a satisfactory temperature, which we like very much.

Fried lamb meat. Nuts. Chili 果仁辣子羊 $488

Typical of Schuan cuisine, this Chili dish is smothered in red peppers. Lamb meat is chopped into small cubes, tender, juicy and spicy. In the chili pool, we pick up pecan, cashew, and pistachio as treasures.

As mentioned above, we were so smart to have order 2 cocktails that perfectly match this spicy dish.

Red Bean Soup. Walnut 紅棉露 $78

A double soup with both red bean and walnut. Trust me, it was very tasteful.

The staff is friendly. They also offer an evaluation form for guests to comment on. That is the way to monitor service I believed. Mian is definitely a place that I shall come to again.
