Snow Crab DuetThis dish features fresh snow crab prepared in two classic styles. Part of the crab meat is steamed to preserve its natural sweetness, while the crab legs and roe are used to make a smooth chawanmushi (savory egg custard). Served with a special vinegar-based sauce to enhance the delicate oceanic flavor.
Rich Shrimp Soup Imperial Concubine RiceRich Shrimp Soup Imperial Concubine Rice is a dish primarily made with rice and shrimp broth. Key ingredients include rice, fresh shrimp, shrimp heads, shrimp shells, ginger slices, scallions, and green vegetables. The basic method involves first stir-frying shrimp heads and shells to release aroma, then simmering them to create a rich broth, which is strained. Cooked rice is placed in a bowl and topped with the piping hot shrimp broth, allowing the rice to slightly soak. It is typically garnished with shrimp meat and a few green vegetables. The dish is characterized by its orange-red broth color and savory flavor, with the rice absorbing the essence of the shrimp soup.
Hong Kong Style Salted Lemon Char SiuHong Kong Style Salted Lemon Char Siu is a Cantonese roast dish that combines traditional char siu with the flavor of salted lemon. It primarily uses pork shoulder or neck meat, marinated with basic seasonings like soy sauce, sugar, and five-spice powder. The distinctive feature is the addition of chopped salted lemon or salted lemon sauce during marinating and roasting, imparting a unique salty-sour citrus aroma to the meat. The marinated meat is typically hung in a roast oven or baked at medium-high heat, with multiple basting of honey or malt syrup to form a glossy, caramelized crust. The finished dish is tender, juicy, and carries the sweet aroma of char siu complemented by the refreshing taste of salted lemon.
Chenghai Sour Cabbage Stewed OystersA dish featuring fresh oysters stewed with sour cabbage, blending the tangy flavor of the cabbage with the rich taste of oysters.

Scallion Oil Imperial Fan LettuceScallion Oil Imperial Fan Lettuce is a cold dish primarily made with lettuce stems. Fresh lettuce stems are peeled, thinly sliced, and artfully arranged into a fan shape. The key step is preparing the scallion oil by slowly frying spring onions in hot oil until their fragrance infuses the oil. The prepared scallion oil is then evenly drizzled over the arranged lettuce slices, sometimes accompanied by a small amount of light soy sauce or salt for seasoning. The finished dish is visually appealing with its fan-like presentation, offering a crisp and refreshing texture with a rich aroma of scallion oil.
