Just like all good Chinese food resto, Imperial Chef was really packed with customer especially because it was Sunday when I visit this resto. So we all queued for maybe 30minutes before we got our table.
So straight to the food!
We ordered some dimsum for our first course and the first dimsum is 'Steam Golden Sand Pao' or basically pao filled with sweet egg yolk in runny consistency, so it's kinda felt like a thick sandy half boiled egg yolk when you're eating it, that's what a golden sand pao supposed to be. But unfortunately, Imperial Chef was in total failure of meeting my expectancy about their golden sand pao. The egg yolk was not runny at all, they extremely overcook it that the yolk has become a hard-boiled egg yolk.
Steam Chicken Claw. Taste okay.
Lo May Kai. Glutinous rice filled with chicken, salty egg yolk, and mushroom; wrapped in lotus leaf and then steamed. Not the best lo mai kai I've ever tried but quite decent.
And now, charsiew! Actually there can't be anything wrong about charsiew! And so are these. Their charsiew completely meet my expectation. A bit fatty, tender, and off course sweet! 
Let me tell you something, I tried not to exaggerate or being hyperbolic but I can't! This stuff was completely a kick-ass! Oh shoot, there can't be roast suckling pig any better than Imperial Chef's. Truly, the skin was so crispy, roast in perfection, with a layer off fat separated the skin from the meat. You indulge the skin first and then eat the meat with hoisin sauce. Oh gosh, believe me, the skin will bring you to the 7th heaven!
It was a really historical moment for me to have taste something as good as that on earth! (I'm drooling right now, just by looking back at the picture) 20 thumbs up for the skin!!
After finishing the whole roast suckling pig, I don't really have an interest in this steamed chicken (I tried it though). Hmm, this is good. So tender, smooth, and tasty! Perfect steamed chicken. The sauce was quite stunning, perfect companion to the tender chicken.
The siew-yuk!!Well, I think most of us know what it's taste like just by looking at the picture. Crispy skin, layer of fat, tender meat = gorgeous. The only problem is that they oversalt it a bit (maybe they intend to make a really crispy crackling and it really did it, but it was way too salty).
So for overall, Imperial Chef is really a-must-visit resto! Their pricing is the same with Duck King, it's not cheap, but worth every pence of it! haha. For those who would visit this resto, I encourage you not to order nothing else beside the suckling pig and the other pork dishes, because they were too good.
And fyi, there's another branch of this resto in Emporium Mall Pluit but they're nothing compare to the one in Jalan Hayam Wuruk. Never try the one in emporium.
My rating : 9 out of 10
