4 of us for dinner. We all wanted to try for different reasons. I thought the seafood must be great since I walked past and saw the big tanks of live seafood in a relatively small shop; he wanted to try cos he read that the chef would get live seafood everyday; she wanted to try cos it was highly recommended by the Japanese chef of the omakase she frequented; and Alcoholic wanted to try anywhere offering free corkage.

She organized in advance with the chef with a budget of $1,000 per person. This was the menu chef came up with:
黨参准山桂圓杞子燉白玉木耳
蒜蓉金菇蘇格蘭巨大蟶子皇
冰鎮南非活鮑魚
龍游桂花（生拆龍蝦肉炒桂花）
雞油蒸蘇鼠班
鮮魚湯浸本地時蔬
龍游桂花第二式（龍蝦頭爪拆肉泡飯）
Restaurant had 10 seats. Apart from us, there were 3 tables of couples.
First came the soup (full of ingredients). Server pointed out the nutritious values of the various ingredients, in particular the 白玉木耳. Indeed I had several big pieces of 白玉木耳 in my soup, very yummy.

Lobster was first- fried bits with egg and bean sprouts etc. Meat was soft, felt light with the egg.

Next came the chilled abalone. Server reminded us to dip the abalone in their home made abalone sauce on the side. Abalone was big and juicy as well, not hard at all. Sauce had a strong abalone flavour oozing through. No need to use wasabi.

Last but not least, the rest of the lobster made in a soup with rice. Server made sure none of us were pregnant, since they added the saffron flower (藏紅花) in the broth- bring the tiny red strips in the photo. Normally not a fan of the bouillabaisse, but this broth tasted so sweet and fresh, I finished all.

Chef came out to explain that he used prawns and crab meat to make the broth. (We noted that we tried a total of 3 soups already.) Chef went on to explain that whilst the 藏紅花is very good for the body, esp women- it’s not to be taken during menstruation or pregnancy. He showed us the box of flowers he used- imported from Spain.
Our server, a young lady, was highly attentive in explaining ingredients in each and every course.
In summary, this is one of the most talented and low key chefs I’ve met. He has a real passion for cooking and delivering only the best to his customers. Will certainly return to try his other dishes.
