Dishes
Premium Mushroom Vegetarian 'Roast Goose'Premium Mushroom Vegetarian 'Roast Goose' is a classic vegetarian dish that mimics meat. The main ingredients are tofu skin (bean curd sheets) and a variety of mushrooms (such as shiitake, king oyster, and enoki mushrooms). During preparation, seasoned mushroom filling is wrapped in tofu skin, rolled into strips or blocks, first steamed to set the shape, then pan-fried or deep-fried until the surface is golden and crispy. The finished product has a fragrant, crispy exterior and a juicy, flavorful filling, offering a rich texture that simulates the form and taste of roast goose, making it a healthy and delicious vegetarian option.
Three-Scallion Pepper Sauce King PrawnsThis dish features king prawns as the main ingredient, accompanied by three types of scallions: red shallots, dried shallots, and green onions. The prawns are butterflied, deveined, and deep-fried until the shells are crispy. In a separate wok, the three scallions are stir-fried until fragrant, then a pepper sauce made from chili, soy sauce, sugar, and other seasonings is added. Finally, the fried prawns are quickly tossed in the sauce to coat evenly. The dish results in springy prawn meat with a rich scallion aroma and a mildly spicy, savory pepper sauce.
Health-Promoting Vegetable SaladA healthy vegetable salad made with fresh lettuce, cucumber, tomato, carrot, and purple cabbage, sliced or shredded, then mixed with a little olive oil, lemon juice, or vinegar—no heating required to preserve the natural flavors.

During preparation, the bird's nest is soaked, cleaned, and stewed until soft and smooth; then milk is fermented into thick yogurt, cooled, mixed with the stewed bird's nest, and set under low-temperature refrigeration. The final product is milky white with distinct strands of bird's nest, offering a smooth texture where the slight acidity of yogurt complements the mildness of bird's nest.

Soaked bird's nest is mixed with steamed black glutinous rice and stuffed into the lotus root cavity. The lid is replaced and secured with toothpicks. The stuffed lotus root is then steamed over low heat for an extended period until tender. Finally, it is glazed or garnished with a syrup made from red osmanthus flowers, rock sugar, or honey.
