Four Seasons London @ Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang Jaya

Having started their legacy in London, Four Seasons London has spread it's wings to Malaysia and now has two outlets in the Klang Valley. This one, operating under the same name, is located in Empire Shopping Gallery and there is another one which operates under a different name but part of the same group and is located in Bangsar. They are acclaimed to be selling the Worlds Best Roast Duck and I am very eager to try it out.

Interior of the Restaurant

Interior of the Restaurant
This restaurant is located on the Lower Ground Floor of the mall. I found the restaurant to be quite small and cramped and due to it's size, the tables are laid quite close to each other and does not give much room for privacy.

The Menu
Their menu is very impressive and surely has loads to offer. The above are just some of their pages. The service here is quite good and despite having a busy night, they were able to attend to us quite fast. 

Coffee @ RM 5.50
Their Coffee was just average and it was a little too sweet for me. I would only rate this at 5.5/10 .

Chinese Herbal Tea @ RM 3.80
Sorry for the bad photo quality. The Chinese Herbal Tea was nothing much to shout about too. I would only rate it at 6.5/10 .

Century Egg with Sliced Ginger @ RM 9.80

Closer Look at the Century Egg
This dish was quite nice. I like the way the ginger was seasoned and it blended well with the eggs. Definitely a recommended dish. I would rate this dish at 9.3/10 .

Two Combination Meat Platter @ RM 19.00
I had initially ordered the Three Combination Meat Platter but was later informed that they only had two meats available and I just went along and so what was served was their Roasted Duck and Roasted Pork. A mistake that I did later was that I did not check the bill where I was charged RM 29.00 for this which is the price for the Three Combination Meat Platter when in fact it should have only been RM 19.00 .

Roast Duck
Their Roast Duck is supposed to be the Worlds Best and that is specific to their outlet in London. I was told by a friend that the outlet in London serves very juicy ducks which are thick in fats and comes with a wonderful sauce. They still carry that fame here but it was just not up to that mark. They were nice, no doubt about it, but they definitely do not deserve to call their offering here the Worlds Best title. I have tried many other places in the Klang Valley that serve better Roast Duck than this. I would rate this at 9/10 .

Roast Pork
Their Roast Pork was good but once again, not the best. The one served in Reunion Bangsar is better than this. Nevertheless, it still comes as a recommended item at this restaurant. I would rate their Roast Pork at 9/10 .

House Special Sweet & Sour Pork @ RM 18.80
This dish was quite good. Their coating was very well done and it complimented the meat very well. Their sauce too was nice though it would have been better if there were slightly more vegetables as well as sauce. I would rate this dish at 8.8/10 .

Stir Fried French Beans with Minced Meat @ RM 17.80
A simple dish that was well prepared. I like the way the beans were cooked as it was rightly done and not overcooked thus giving it a crunchy and sweet taste with every bite. The minced meat was not too bold in its taste and it complimented the sweet taste of the vegetable well. Overall, a good dish. I would rate this dish at 9.5/10 .

Salted Fish with Pork Belly @ RM 20.80

Better Look at the Dish
I felt that this dish could have been better. The Pork Belly was too thinly sliced and was of a very limited quantity. To me, there seemed to be more onions than meat in this dish. Taste wise, it was okay. It would have turned out to be a better dish if only there were more Pork Belly in it. I would rate this dish at 7.5/10 .

Won Ton Soup @ RM 11.80

WonTon's in the Soup
This dish was quite good. For the price of RM 11.80, there were 8 Won Ton's in the soup and they were of a decent size. The soup too tasted good and the dumpling was nice and well prepared. I would rate this dish at 9.6/10 .

On the whole, they definitely serve some great dishes here. The service is efficient and the staffs are friendly. The only setback being the outlets small size which would have been better if it was slightly larger. Just a word of caution to check the bill when paying. Besides having over paid for the Meat Platter, I was also overcharged with the White Rice whereby I ended up paying for two bowls when I had only ordered one. I honestly believe that it was an error from their part as I know how it was for them that night. It was so crowded and they were literally running around serving customers. Otherwise, it is definitely a great place to dine.

    I find that this restaurant simply charging to your bill without order the item.
    When you call back to ask, then the one who answer the call will self ask self answer. Like they already know they will simply charge to the bill. I definitely won't go back to that restaurant anymore as they are CHEATING!

    1. Hi there, I wish I could respond to this but I'm not the restaurant owner but just a food blogger. Perhaps you could try their Facebook page. Thanks.

  3. Good question where they cook their roast pork ? I've been to this restaurant several times, just love their roast pork but now not anymore due to roast pork not like used to be and the taste totally different. Maybe they change recipe, chef or get it somewhere else.

    敬爱的佛教信土:
    我是甲洞三宝寺 (暹廟) SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION NO: 19-21 JALAN 38 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA. 的理事, 当任此职多年, 对内的事務也一清二楚。

    最近, 在网络上看了PHRA PIYATHAMMO和尚和马华公会鸱唛区主席叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师的双方信件, 使我的内心久久不能平伏, 良心受到很大的譴責, 不吐訢不痛快, 所以我要誠恳的説:他叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)侓师叫外来的流流氓到三宝寺(暹廟)挑衅和尚打架及电招警方人员扣捕沙彌, 其嘲笑手法, 不外是要显示其权力, 而鞏固其职位, 以达到权力就是一切, 好让住持难堪, 自动離开, 方便行事……这种举动, 已间接的表逹其含意, 住持和尚兼顾问, 都无能为力,你们这些信徒能做什么?即使告马耒西亜佛教总会又能为难什么?这种心态, 的硧令人反感, 不是一个正信佛教者应有的行为。

    至今, 三宝寺的理事成员多数是其親戚, 这是实事, 加入会员需交RM100元费用,同时,必须经过叶金福(Yip Kum Fook)律师的同意,否则免談, 所以会员也不多。

    马华公会鹅唛区主席叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师,自控制三宝寺之後,把三宝寺(暹廟)当着私人產業,聘用和尚賺钱,利用佛教的道地为政治活动埸所,而处理三宝寺的钱财也不透明?这点,值得信众追问。马来西亚地擴人多,和尚也不缺乏,为什么不用本地和尚当任住持化缘,却偏偏劳心劳神,浪费签证费,交通费? 还要烦劳梹城佛总的推荐信, 向文化不同, 而語言又不通之千哩外囯缅旬和尚求助? 为什么….为什么? 只要我们用头脑想一想,便一日了然, 不必晝虎添足。

    叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak )律师说:欢迎任何人如有意见,可以电话03:62762369/0122039700 Email: YIPKUMFOOK@HOTMAIL.COM 戓到其马华公会鹅唛区会甲洞三宝寺及以下地圵:NO.2,B JALAN 53 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 SELANGOR, MALAYSIA.討論, 我要老实的提醒大家, 最好不要一个去見他, 因为这个人狡滑, 笑裡藏刀, 很阴险, 出家人都不放在眼裡, 連TAMAN DAYA 52100 KEPONG, KUALA LUMPUR. 众人的印度廟也敢放火燒, 利用权势把场地佔为己有, 由此可见, 他是何等的心毒? 还有现在三宝寺内, 各处都按裝计孔监视来人一举一动。

    目前, 三宝寺很多信徒及当地居民, 已经对叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak )律师不满, 但也不能做什么。他计划把三宝寺主席的职位轉给其子YIP JIUN HANN律师, 续承皇朝. 想近一部了觧詳情, 可上网得知。

    再说, 根据前理事在网络上给叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师的批評, 説他懂得包裝自己的道德守则, 以宗教为幌子手, 到处募款, 啇業经营, 政治活动为重, 并没依循佛教守則行事, 也没对人道作出貢献, 只不过借三宝寺宗教之名捞取权和私利而己, 其言也不为过, 是实事。

    在此, 我恳切希望, 廣大的佛教信仰者, 给予关注, 并共創義举, 弘扬佛教. 谢谢。
