| - I was lucky enough to come here for a business dinner where.... well, money didn't really matter. We had a customized dinner that was just... extravagant and amazing. I got a chance to really taste the food the chefs at Wing Lei are capable off.
We were seated at the private dining room at the end of the restaurant. It's an amazing dining space. Beautiful decor and you can hear each other, even across the huge round table.
To start, we were served 6 dishes of cold plates and appetizers. Braised pig's ear, beef shanks, jellyfish, abalone, tofu skin, and several others all prepared in ways that reflect different Chinese cuisine, from Shanghai to Szechuan.
When the soup arrived, I was just blown away. The servers walked in with individual coconut bowls and in it was Shark Fin Chicken Soup. It was crazy since they used shark fin like it was vermicelli noodles or something. The whole soup was just the pure essence of chicken soup with an incredible amount of shark fin.
Next the main dishes came out and each dish was done extremely well: Braised Kobe Beef, Ginger Chicken, Bok Choy, Garlic & Sprouts, Braised eggplant, Pan-fried Golden Prawns, Steamed Whole Black Cod, Stir-fry Minced Pork, Fried Geoduck, and Fried Rice with an assortment of Chinese sausages, bbq items for you to add. The Kobe beef was the best since it was done so well and it seriously felt like it would just melt in your mouth. The black pepper sauce goes so well with the peppers and the beef. I just wish they gave us more haha.
The fried rice is an interesting way of serving it since you can add whatever kind of meat to your rice. Also when you do black cod right, it is one of the best fish ever, and the chefs at Wing Lei did an amazing job.
The meal ended with a fruit platter. Its got the usual like watermelon, stawberries, and pineapple, but it also had FRESH lychee! You usually can't find fresh lychee but damn it was good.
The bill? $700... PER PERSON. Needless to say... that is the most expensive meal I'll probably ever eat in my entire life and thank goodness we were treated by a partner. Just the shark fin soup itself was $200. Craziness.
The wait staff is attentive and even picked out a red wine that goes well with our menu. Usually it is hard to find a wine to go well with Chinese food but they've done it. There's a full bar in the restaurant with Chinese beer that you can't find at the other parts of Wynn, as well as special cocktails.
Overall, the meal was amazing and I can definitely see why it was Michelin rated in 2009. The chefs here do an amazing job and it really does reflect Chef Yu's mastery in blending Cantonese, Shanghai, and Szechuan cuisine. I took a look at the menu and definitely wouldn't mind coming back and trying out the Peking Duck Tasting myself next time.
