Since the last visit for the very fun Xinjian night, which they are going to hold again on 14th Jan. I decided to come again with my friends to try some more dishes. We were greeted again with the traditional hand washing gesture at the door. Then was brought out to their big terrace.

Baked Bread with Olives, Walnut and Chicken Liver Dip
We were served this complimentary baked middle east bread along with some dips.
Both dips were totally different. We thought the black one was mushroom dip but it's actually an olive dip which was like mashed dried olive with a flavourful fresh olive taste. While the walnut and chicken liver dip tasted a bit stronger with just like any other pate, with a hint of buttery walnut nutty taste to it.
The bread was flurry and still warm when it was served. The portion was just perfect to start a meal with.
Grilled Roast Duck with Xinjiang Dried Fruit Tagine ($188)Since my friends cannot eat neither beef nor lamb. I thought I have picked the wrong restaurant but I was wrong because there are a lot of other options on their big menu.
The duck was very succulent and was cooked in savory and sweet sauce. There were also some chestnut at the bottom which was all cooked and almost mashy.
All the flavour from the sauce has been absorbed by the duck after being cooked for a very long time.
Xinjiang Style Chicken ($148)The first impression was that the portion was really generous for $148, there was almost like a half chicken in the pot along with some very well seasoned sauce. It's actually a very good dish to go with some rice.
Again, after being cooked for a long time, the meat was very almost like falling off the bone. The juice coated each piece of chicken, delivering a mouth watering taste with a hint of spiciness.
Stir Fried Green Beans, Ganbajun Zang Mushroom, Almond and Garlic ($98)You could tell the green beans were fresh when you could hear a snap sound when biting into it. It was cooked with a special savory paste and dried chilli. The taste was quite strong compared to any traditional Cantonese cooking. We all liked the flavour much when having it with a bowl of rice.
Curry Pizza with Vegetables ($98)Since we already had so much meat, we have decided to go with the vegetables pizza. OMG! I couldn't believe the incredible amount of cheese on that small piece of pizza dough! It was very cheesy instead yet with a Xinjiang taste. There were no tomato sauce instead ony vegetables and topped with a lot of cheese.
I would say this could be a fun dish to share and enjoy with children or big children!
