Steamed to Perfection
Start with a duo of light dumplings — the Wild Mushroom & Fresh Shrimp Dumplings adorably shaped like persimmons and gorgeous, green Steamed Prawn Dumplings with Stem Vegetables.
Now you’re ready for richer indulgences: tackle the Black Truffle Shao Mai with its heady aroma and scarf down the Steamed Pork Buns with Crab Roe — but be careful as it explodes with savoury goodness!
A melt-in-your-mouth indulgence, next comes the Steamed Pork Knuckles in Red Fermented Bean Curd, followed by the Steamed Fish Maw with Preserved Olive Leaves, which presents wave after wave of umami.
To close the chapter one, relish spoonfuls of the Stewed Spring Chicken Soup with Chinese Yam and Lotus Seeds.

Wok-fired Finesse
When it comes to hot dishes, traditional techniques crossover with contemporary techniques. The cute Carrot-shaped Turnip Cakes are a cheerful addition to the table while comforting doesn’t even begin to describe the stewed Enoki Mushrooms with Egg Tofu.
A symbol of longevity, noodles are a must at any family-style Chinese meal: we recommend the Braised E-Fu Noodles with Mushrooms. Fans of rice, however, have the option of Minced Beef Fried Rice replete with smoky wok hei. Wrap up with warm and comforting Cordyceps Flower and Lean Pork Congee.

Crisp & Golden Bites
As far as categories of dim sum go, fried and baked goods are arguably the biggest crowd-pleaser.
Crunch meets chew in the Pan-Fried Taro Cakes with Chinese Sausage, surf meets turf in the Mini Abalone and Diced Chicken Tarts, and East meets West in the BBQ Pork Buns with a Cheesy twist.

Roasted & Chilled
Steeped in the chef’s secret selection of spices and sauces, the Marinated Duck Gizzard and Marinated Pig’s Tongue carry complex flavours.
Next, segue to some cooling eats: slightly spicy Century Egg with Chopped Chili, Okra Salad and unabashedly bold yet balanced Cold Beef Salad.

Sweet Conclusions
Comparable to a Chinese opera singer’s final curtsey, a symphony of sweets close the meal with grace.
Choose from the creamy and cooling, the Steamed Pumpkin Pudding with Milk or the clear and nutty Sea Coconut Sweet Soup with Almond. Better yet, have both.
Otherwise, there is also the Baked Sago Pudding with Purple Sweet Potato and/or the Snow Fungus, Lily Bulb and Pear Sweet Soup to conclude your journey of incomparable Cantonese eats.
