🥢 In recent years I’ve frequently been asked if I have any good Chiu Chow restaurant recommendations. I’ve always found it difficult to answer this question because there really aren’t many which I’m satisfied with. But who would’ve imagined that the famous 🇨🇳 Wuliangye originating from Yibin would open up a restaurant in Hong Kong serving Chiu Chow food which I would most definitely recommend to you all 👐🏻.🦀 The raw crab and mantis shrimp 🦐 are both marinated very well. The flavour is amazing,

🦀 The raw crab and mantis shrimp 🦐 are both marinated very well. The flavour is amazing, and of course there’s garlic, parsley, Chinese celery etc., but they’re all very balanced, and nor is the marinade too salty. Obviously the crab and shrimp themselves are very fresh and full of cream. Absolutely scrumptious!
.
🌊 Was also very surprising to see 薄殼 which are super mini mussels that are usually only available around mid autumn festival. Fried very nicely and full of basil 🌿 aroma.

🦢 The 滷水鵝 goose in brine was excellent too! The flavour was well balanced and once again not too salty, but at the same time had adequate flavour and colour. The head and neck was very tender whilst the skin was slick. I loved the goose web, the texture was lovely and it was huge! The foie gras was smooth and moist.
.
🦈 I know not everyone is comfortable with eating sharks fins nowadays, but it was absolutely phenomenal. The flavour was spot on, the texture of the sharks fins were just right and it was absolutely delicious. What’s more it’s served with a candle underneath in a beautiful bowl.
.
🍜 A highlight here is the Tai Chi noodles which is like a progression to the renown pan fried duck egg noodles dipped in sugar and vinegar 糖醋麵 but to be honest the original duck egg noodle part was good, but the green chive noodles were too soft and bland. Anyway, nice gimmick!
.
🍨 The sugar coated taro dessert 反沙芋 is famous for being hard to make, and it’s done rather well here too!
.
💰 Good things come at a price, but then again, it’s worth it here!

🇨🇳 中国的五粮液,世界的 五 粮 液! YEH!
