Variety: Chef Tan with some of his creations.

RENAISSANCE Hotel is turning eleven and its restaurants are ready to throw a party for customers and guests.

At a special price of RM111 per person, diners can enjoy special celebration set menus at different establishments in the hotel.

At the Chinese restaurant Dynasty, Chef Tan Kim Weng has come up with three set menus, which combines both traditional and contemporary elements in the dishes.

The first menu offers Golden Scallop and Herbs Braised Beef, Braised Shark Fin soup with freshly peeled crab meat, Braised Soon Hock (fish) with Lotus Leaf Sauce, Braised Bean Curd Patties with Fish Maw and Shredded Chicken and Szechuan Spicy Noodles with minced pork and eggplant.

The second set starts off with a barbequed dish of three meats, followed by Braised Shark Fin Soup with Dried Scallop and Shredded Chicken, crispy Soon Hock with garlic flavoured oyster sauce, poached vegetables with assorted eggs and superior soup and fried rice with seafood and X.O sauce.

Both these sets are available for dinner and lunch while the third menu is only available for lunch. It starts off with a dim sum platter followed by double boiled dumpling soup with mini abalone, baked prawn with spring onion and supreme sauce, poached Hong Kong cabbage with superior soup and bean curd and steamed chicken and salted fried rice served in bamboo cup. All three sets end with a dessert of the day.

At the hotel’s Mediterranean restaurant Med@Marche, two special menus are available for both lunch and dinner.

The first menu features Wild Mushroom Escabeche, gruyere and green onion crackers, Chestnut and smoked garlic soup with black truffle cream, seared king prawns on squid ink pasta, rock-melon sorbet, balsamic and crisp parmesan, roasted tenderloin beef, braised borlotti bean with sauteed herb gnocchi and chocolate flan with rhubarb cinnamon compote for dessert.
