Great Hall @ Skypark, One City USJ
February 1, 2017
In what seems like a hipster restaurant-&-bars tongue-in-cheek take on Chairman Maos revolutionary spirit, Great Hall weaves mainland Chinese inspirations with modern culinary inflections to create a distinctively surreal F&B experience - customers can order whimsical recipes like Maos Mushroom Moustache & Mao & His Chips while being served by a team wearing five-pointed red star caps amid murals that evoke pastiches of 1950s-era Great Leap Forward cultural propaganda.
The menu mixes & matches East & West - Oriental pork stew is stir-fried with Italian angel hair pasta (RM14.90) while duck confit is coupled with steamed rice & vegetables in a dark sauce (RM18.90); the price is right for these comfort-food offerings. The top bet for dessert is banquet-style osmanthus jelly turned into a Euro confection with ginger lemongrass cream (RM6.90).
Cocktails here will seize attention - Maos Chamber (RM80) & Nu Er Hong (RM60; each serving is suitable for two to four persons) both blend rice wine with sweet fruits to create visually conspicuous beverages constructed for the social media age.
