Restaurant Manager Mr Joe Woo, graduated from the Hotel & Tourism School of ” Les Roches Bluche”, Switzerland has the love and passion for food and beverage since 1987 and he was very kind to take us around the restaurant, showing us the different private rooms and giving us a detailed insight … it was a delightful experienced…

Experience Fine Chinese Cuisine at JW Marriott
Attention all food lovers!!!, MedanKu.com highly recommend the following dishes that we have personally experienced and tasted.. (with compliments from JW Marriott)…. 
It’s a 7 course dinner which we enjoyed for a little over 2 hours… it was totally awesomely… wordlessly… DELICIOUS!!!!
The FOOD
This is our HOT & COLD Starter – a Deluxe Combination Platter… consisting of
Roasted Duck with Five Spice & Herbs
Crispy Prawn Ball
and Fried Crab Claw with Seafood Paste
We then had this amazingly well seasoned Braised Pumpkin Soup with Abalone, Seafood and Enoki Mushrooms.. personally, this is a must try… the soup base made from Pumpkin was light, warm and joyful…
Next, was this impressive Steamed Cod Fillet with Spring Onion and Superior Soya Sauce.. perfectly steamed to the right texture…
I am not a fan of poultry, but our 4th course – Braised Chicken Drum Stick with Chinese Herbs has the nice combination of ingredients giving a nice light taste to the dish…
Braised Abalone, Flower Mushroom and Seaweed Bean curd. With this dish, we were informed by Mr Woo that the Abalone is from Australia, Mushroom from China, Kailan vegetables imported from Hong Kong and “in-house” made Bean curd…. interesting…
as the tradition, a Chinese cuisine often comes to an end with a bowl of fried rice (fried noodles at times).. Fried Rice with Chicken, Salted Fish and vegetables… a nicely end to a wonderful meal…
As for the dessert, Mango Sago Cream, is the One and Only which can be found in Medan… (else you will need to fly to Hong Kong for this)… I am a dessert addict, hence dessert is the first thing I often look at in a menu… when I first read the name, my mind was going like… is it another one of those typically Medan fruit pudding (the jello type).. but when I was being served, my eyes just lit up!!! Its Mango fruit base filled with small Sago, Pomelo fruit which pop in your mouth and tiny slices of Mango…. and to be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream,… what a perfect ending to a perfect dinner…
As to service level, waiters and waitresses are well mannered, our tea are served warm and constantly refilled without prompting, plates are cleared and replaced promptly… nice and polite…
As to pricing, the above course is priced at Rp 388.000 ++ per PERSON (not table).. hehehe… pricey …?? Well, it’s all about, quality, originality, experienced and the authenticity of the dishes that made it all worth it…

I agree with the moderator review, with one addition: although the restaurant staff ensure me that they didn’t use msg, but I’m very sensitif to MSG and I can tell they use quite a lot.
