Well-executed Cantonese and Teochew classics served in an elegant setting make this restaurant a perennial favourite for occasions such as family celebrations and business lunches. Homey dishes such as long beans with minced pork and sautéed beef cubes with garlic crisps hit the sweet spot in aromatic flavours and balanced textures, while signatures of stir-fried ramen with lobster in XO sauce and poached garoupa in Chinese wine are heart-warming winners. Refreshingly candid recommendations from the restaurant manager, including a dry Burgundy white that’s the perfect foil to the dishes, make for a satisfying meal that will sate the appetite without overwhelming. The extensive menu notably offers a variety of vegetarian options. So does the beverage list. You can choose from Western and Chinese wines, and unique tea blends, among which is the famous First Blush Dragon Well green tea from Hangzhou.
