Some recipes pair it with a ginger vinegar sauce or garlic butter as a dipping condiment.
Tomahawk Lamb ChopThe tomahawk lamb chop is made from bone-in meat taken from the leg, marinated and then pan-seared.

Reviews
- stormy_ficusCame here with my bestie and honestly such a great deal for what you pay. After dinner we just sat out in the courtyard for a bit, it wasn't even hot and the breeze felt amazing. The place is super pretty inside, very photo-friendly. We happened to catch someone's birthday and they put on this little birthday performance for them. The acrobat guy was honestly incredible, totally reminded me of characters I've been watching in a drama lately. After the show the chefs came up on stage with the performers and you could tell they were really proud of what they do. The food was actually delicious, especially the shrimp and eggplant dish — you seriously can't even taste the eggplant in it. Apparently the chef walked us through the whole process: peel the skin off fresh eggplant, chop just the flesh into tiny cubes and fry it in chicken fat, then add chicken breast, mushrooms, fresh bamboo shoots, five-spice dried tofu, and all kinds of dried fruits, simmer it all in chicken broth until the liquid's gone, finish with sesame oil and a bit of wine oil, seal it up in a porcelain jar, and when you want to eat it you just toss it with some stir-fried chicken. The plating was gorgeous too, the lighting on the plate made it look stunning and the props with the flower petals and water curtain effect were really cool — kind of like that Dream of the Red Chamber immersive theater thing I saw before. Only downside is they didn't have a paper menu, asked a server and they said it's being updated, so hopefully next time. The noodles and the dessert at the end were kinda meh. Also the floor lights on the stage shine straight into your eyes which is a little harsh, but it doesn't happen too often so it'd be nice if they could fix that. Parking's easy though, plenty of spots, 5 kuai an hour.
