$1180 (main course: 1 seafood + 2 meat)
$1280 (main course: 2 seafood + 1 meat)
$1380 (main course: 3 seafood)
Extra starter: +$80 per guest.
Extra seafood main course: +$200 per guest
Extra meat main course: +$100 per guest
My friend had chosen in advance, 2 seafood + 1 meat for main and extra starter for everyone. Menu is $1360 per guest.
I do have some comments on the serving sequence. Do think if you print the menu for guests, dishes should be served accordingly. And the way of serving is neat but quite all over the place. Mostly they just put dishes down on the table without placing at certain location or orientation. Guess it’s more liked a casual diner.
Cold Abalone Marinated with Geoduck Clam Juice
象拔蚌汁漬凍鮑魚
Quite refreshing as a cold starter. Clam juice not very pop out but abalone is good and tender.

Crispy Taro Cake with Smoked Duck
茘甫鴨盒
I really enjoy this one. It’s really crispy and the batter is so thin. Love it!
Cured Pork Fat with Sily Tofu and 2-years-aged Osmanthus Flowers
二年陳桂花冰肉豆腐花
And after a hot starter, back to cold starter. One of our friend really loves this one. I found it’s mored liked a dessert to me. It’s a good attempt tho.
Cleansing Soup
一口湯
Instead of serving last starter, the soup was served as they said more preparation time was needed.
Soup is great! We Chinese always love to have some “Lo For Tong 老火湯” especially in winter time.
Steamed Flowery Crab with Aged Shao Xing Wine, Fragrant Chicken Oil and Flat Rice Noodles
雞油花雕蒸花蟹配陳村粉
One of the signature dish in The Chairman. You can see it on almost every table and I have high expectations on it of course.
Fragrance is great! Definitely can smell the Shao Xing Wine. Visually the rice noodles still looked a bit hard. Normally the noodles is the highlight of the whole dish as it absorbs all the chicken oil, flavour of the crab and the wine. When I had my first bite of the noodles, did feel it’s a bit under.
The crab itself is beautifully done. So fresh and sweet!

Stuffed Layered Pig Intestines Grilled with Fermented Soy Paste, Mixed with Spicy Preserved Radish
麵醬燒猪套腸拌辣椒菜甫
Finally serving the last starter after first main course was done. But this is worth for the wait! The intestine was so crispy and the spicy radish gave a good kick to it.
Steamed Grouper with Marinated Peel and Salted Lard
陳皮鹹肉蒸海斑
Classic steamed fish but with a twist, steaming with salted lard. Sadly didn’t really taste the salty from the lard. But fish is fresh and fresh fish never goes wrong.

大班樓酸辣甜蒜牛四味 ( 牛肋、牛根、牛肚、肥牛 )
Great choice by my friend! Very traditional flavour

Stewed Pork Belly and Preserved Vegetables Claypot Rice
梅乾菜扣肉煲仔飯
Such a brilliant idea to combine this classic Chinese dishes with claypot rice. Perfect for winter! All the fats, essences go into the rice. Rice is perfectly cooked. A claypot full of flavours!!
End the dinner with dessert trio. Quite average so I didn’t finish all.
Overall, it’s an interesting dining experience. Do enjoy some of the dishes a lot while some is pretty standard and average. Will have to try some other dishes next time. Do thanks Chef Andy Ho for a great hospitality! 🙏🏻
