Found out about this new shop on Openrice because the name of the restaurant was interesting, I thought the English name was quite random and not related to the Chinese name.

After having abalone noodles at Maur's Kitchen I decided to try this place.

The menu offered was extremely interesting, although it was Chinese food they also served Iberico ham.

I found the double boiled hokkaido milk with abalone interesting, because hokkaido milk is usually for desserts and this time it is a savoury soup!

The Iberico ham linguine was also interesting, but in the end I ordered the Steamed Abalone with Rice Wrapped with lotus leaf and Fish noodles with abalone sauce.

Steamed Abalone with Rice Wrapped with lotus leaf $88
I was really looking forward to this but it was disappointing because it was just plain egg fried rice with a piece of abalone in it.

The abalone sauce was separate.
The set came with black fungus in vinegar, orange juice and a dessert

Fish noodles with abalone sauce $45
Although this was cheaper I really liked it, the noodles were made with fish were extremely soft and did not contain any grounded bones.

For the noodles there was a choice of instant noodles, udon or fish noodles.

The entrance of the restaurant was quite interesting, on the left there is a fishing net and some abalone shells in the basket where you can write messages and hang it on the fishing net.


Overall the food was ok, but I wished I ordered the hokkaido milk with abalone if I knew it was fried rice inside the wrapped rice.
The restaurant was surprisingly packed even though it had only opened by two days, however it was extremely noisy.
