Kong Yi Ji showcases superb Shaoxing specialties such as drunken chicken, ‘Shaoxing ancient method of chicken’ (38RMB) – a cold dish of moist, bone-in meat, marinated in the city’s namesake wine. Crispy fish (29RMB) are strips of piping hot, mild croaker encased in a flaky, deep-fried batter.
The delightfully crispy-outside, spongy-inside stinky tofu (18RMB) served alongside red-chilli dipping sauce might even convert those on the fence about the salty, funky bean curd.
