Famous Treasure
The local palette is a melting pot of dishes from various dialect groups, and over the years, we have featured some really authentic Teochew, Cantonese and Hokkien restaurants. Famous Treasure at Capitol Piazza only has a fairly short 1 year history, but its turning out to be the space to watch for serving up popular local dishes in style. often, you'd think alot the lines of White or New Ubin Seafood perhaps, when you think of Tze Char dishes in a restaurant setting. but nothing prepares you for the ambience you'd get when you step into Famous Treasure.
from its posh exterior to the whiskey counter and the service game that they deliver, visitors can expect that Famous Treasure focuses on providing an experience. We understood that local media personalities would often frequent this eatery as well, racking up its reputation as a Chinese restaurant that serves up a wide variety of Nanyang dishes with excellent service. 
We tried a classic Teochew dish to get started with this Soy braised duck platter, which comes with slices of braised duck, bean curd and duck wings. the braised sauce was good and went well with steamed rice, and the duck wings were surprisingly easy to eat as they literally could be licked off their bones. alas, the duck meat slices itself had a rather hard texture and would have been perfect if they could have been more tender. 
this Cantonese dish of Champagne Pork Ribs turned out to be surprisingly good. the grilled ribs were so well done with pieces that had ample meat, grilled to a very soft texture and served in orange sauce. if anything was needed to boost this dish, we felt that the marination of champagne sauce for this dish could have been more flavourful. for me, this was still one of the dishes i enjoyed most here. 
The main event of the evening was indeed this KL Hokkien Mee. it is not easy to find a good interpretation of this dish locally, that had good enough Wok Hey and resemblance to that authentic KL taste. the version at Famous Treasure was fairly close and came served in generous portions of prawns, squids and scallops. Throughout the dinner, the level of service standards was top notch, with the staff regularly attending to us, replenishing our tea and even offered complimentary parking. If you're one who'd want to bring either colleagues or family for local fare in style, then Famous Treasure would be one place you could take them.
