Came here for a good friend’s birthday. Menu was pre-ordered.First time to try lamb terrine. Not gamey at all. It was quite tasty.The eel dish (which only used the meat on the back of the eel) marinated in soy sauce, garlic, dark vinegar was different. I usually had it either in black bean sauce or deep fried. The sauce had a good balance between savory and tartness.The clear chicken broth in the casserole was superb - got a hint of jinjua ham. Loved the cabbage and the tiny triangular egg omele
First time to try lamb terrine. Not gamey at all. It was quite tasty.
The eel dish (which only used the meat on the back of the eel) marinated in soy sauce, garlic, dark vinegar was different. I usually had it either in black bean sauce or deep fried. The sauce had a good balance between savory and tartness.
The clear chicken broth in the casserole was superb - got a hint of jinjua ham. Loved the cabbage and the tiny triangular egg omelettes that were soaked in the broth.
I though the extra thick scallion pancake was okay. Too doughy for me. Preferred the regular ones.
The braised sea cucumbers were not too soft so texture was just right. The sauce was good.
The steamed unscaled Shi fish (鰣魚）is a delicacy and hard to come by. This fish has a lot of fine bones so it takes skills and patience to enjoy. The meat is soft and sweet.
The jinjua ham w bun was good. Not too salty.
The bite size dumplings were tasty and juicy.
The longevity bun was customer ordered.
Last but not the least, champagne is most forgiving with Chinese food !!!
Ambience - had a private room with a round table more suited for 10 than 12. Felt a bit tight. We were elbow to elbow.
Service - average as it could be more attentive. I kept pouring champagne and wine for my friends.
