Dishes
Frozen Milk TeaFrozen milk tea is a beverage made primarily from tea, milk or non-dairy creamer, sugar, and water. First, the tea infusion is cooled, then mixed with dairy products and sugar until well blended, and finally poured into molds to freeze into a solid form. When serving, it can be taken out directly to melt or cut into small pieces as a cold drink.
Nanru Pork TrotterA Cantonese dish featuring pork trotters marinated in fermented tofu and braised until tender, with a rich, savory flavor.
San Francisco French ToastSan Francisco-style French toast is made with toast as the main ingredient. The crust is removed and cut into small cubes, then dipped in egg mixture and fried in butter until golden and crispy. Finally, it is dusted with powdered sugar or salt to taste.
Hong Kong-style Lemon TeaHong Kong-style lemon tea is based on black tea, mixed with fresh lemon slices or juice, sweetened with syrup or sugar, and served over ice or cold-brewed. Typically, the brewed tea is cooled, then blended with lemon and sugar for a refreshing, tangy drink.
Royal Curry Chicken RiceA flavorful dish featuring tender chicken cutlets glazed in rich curry sauce, served over steamed rice with vegetables.
Salt-Baked ChickenSalt-baked chicken is a traditional dish made by marinating chicken, wrapping it in salt and spices, then baking it at high temperature. Main ingredients include whole chicken or chicken thighs, seasoned with salt, ginger, scallions, and star anise.
Crispy Fried French FriesCrispy french fries are made by cutting potatoes into strips, soaking to remove excess starch, then frying in hot oil until golden and crunchy. Salt is typically used for seasoning, sometimes with additional spices.
Crispy Roast GooseCrispy-skinned roast goose is a Cantonese roasted meat dish made with a whole goose as the main ingredient. The goose is marinated, hung to air-dry, and then roasted in an oven until the skin becomes crispy and the meat tender. During preparation, honey or maltose syrup is typically brushed onto the goose to create a shiny red crust.
Sirloin SteakSirloin steak is a Western dish made from beef tenderloin, marinated and then pan-seared to a golden crust while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
Heartbreaking RiceThe Soul-Rendering Rice is built on优质 rice, topped with pan-seared barbecued pork, silky egg, and fresh green vegetables. The barbecued pork is specially seasoned and grilled to perfection—crispy on the outside and tender within—then drizzled with a house-made sauce that blends harmoniously with the rice, delivering a rich and layered taste experience.
