Signature Dishes

  • Claypot duck

    The broth is rich but not greasy; the duck is braised until tender and flavorful, with generous portions that hold their heat well.

  • Red crab sticky rice

    The rice is springy with a sweet-savory flavor and fresh crab meat; there has also been an instance of crab seeming a little old, possibly from reheating.

  • Pudding

    The homemade pudding has a rich egg aroma and a ‘huge’ portion; its pronounced egg flavor may not suit everyone.

  • Stir-fried eel

    The eel is slippery and crisp, with generous portions; the dry-fried version is a tasty test of basic technique.
