Signature Dishes
Fish maw and chicken soup
Slow-simmered to a rich, gelatinous broth, with substantial fish maw and tender chicken wings; dense and full-bodied on the palate.
Crispy-skin chicken
Thin and crisp skin with juicy meat, giving it a texture that is both crisp and tender.
Roast duck
Crisp skin and tender, juicy meat; the pancakes and sauce are balanced between savory and sweet, and the fatty duck is not greasy after roasting.
Egg tart
Flaky pastry and a silky filling, with the dairy flavor more pronounced than the egg; the filling may be hot.
Stir-fried loofah
Julienned and simply stir-fried, sweet and juicy with just the right balance of oil and moisture; fine knife work makes it simple yet moreish.
