In the evenings, here are the dishes that you can order.
Double boiled pigeon stuffed with birds nest in supreme broth:
A pigeon stuffed with birdsnest with its bone skillfully removed.
Sauteed sliced squid and dried squid with Chinese kale:
Roast pork stuffed with salted egg yolk and preserved sausage:
This is similar to the chicken with a pieces of liver and lard but the roll has salted egg yolk preserved sausage.
Deep fried toasts topped with shrimp:
Each piece has a whole shrimp on it.
Roasted chicken in two ways:
The whole chicken arrives intact and the skin and meat is sliced off and put on top of the rice crackers and the rest is used for stir fried minced chicken.
-crispy rice crackers topped with chicken skin, goose liver and cucumber.
-Stir fried minced chicken with lettuce and preserved vegetables.
The smoked sliced butterfish with fruit salad looked like tandoori but it had a smoky taste.
Braised hairy gourd with minced pork, conpoy and dried shrimp in casserole:
A light and healthy dish that is good for the eldery.
Baked fish intestines with pork, tangerine peel and doughsticks:
This was my favourite because it was bitter but not pungent but there may be a few bones in it.
Steamed fish head with pickled ginger and gooseberry sauce:
I was expecting this to be sour but it was quite sweet.
Dessert was a surprise because I really liked the white sugar pudding.
It was a chewy white pudding in the middle that was not too sweet contrasted by the crispy surface.
Steamed egg custard with ginger, topped with souffle:
The egg custard has been made fancy and it reminded me of a lemon meringue.
