The signature dish is the herbal roast duck, which boasts a layer of crispy skin and tender interior infused with herbs. The duck is marinated overnight with a mixture of Chinese wine and herbs to allow the herbal flavours to permeate each duck. The roasting process releases the dark flavourful sauce, which tastes heavenly with the tender duck meat.
The roast duck is available in three flavours: angelica herb, Ten Wonder herbs and wild ginseng. The duck roasted with Ten Wonder herbs consists of ten herbs including astragalue, codonopsis root, dried longan and more.
You may wish to throw caution to the wind when you order the Dong Po pork, because it just tastes so good with the special sweet sauce and a melt-in-the-mouth. The cut of pork belly is well marinated with a concoction of spices and steamed till soft and tender.
Another signature dish is the Mongolian spare ribs, which comprise crispy ribs coated in a layer of delectable sauce with flavours of plum and black pepper.
For something lighter on the palate, go for the stir-fried lotus root with macadamia nuts. The nuts deliver a nice crunchy texture.
Served with a dash of soy sauce mix, the silver cod fish is popular with the kids. While tucking into this delicious fish, you can also reap health benefits of omega-3 fatty acid, vitamins and minerals at the same time.
The claypot frog & jumbo prawn beehoon with wine is one dish that certainly makes an impressive entrance. Frog legs and jumbo prawns fill up the claypot, brimming with a mild-flavoured stock spiked with Shaoxing wine.
