The typical menu can include many delicate dishes such as:
Braised abalone – smooth, delicate, fresh and savory
Sweet and Sour Carp – with crisp exterior and tender fish interior, a little sweet and sour
Bree with a complex – clear, mild and fresh
‘Eight Immortals Crossing Sea teasing Arhats’ – This is a starter before a celebration feast. It is luxurious and traditionally uses as its eight main ingredients: fin, sea pumpkin, abalone, asparagus, prawns and ham. The stock is flavored with fish’s swimming bladder and fish bones. These symbolize the eight immortals and the Arhats [Buddhist saints] are symbolized by the inclusion of chicken breast.
