We started with the roast suckling pig, which was rolled into the room on display. This is alwas delicious, and I love the paper-thin, crisp slices of the skin. I had a taste of the ribs, but didn't get to gnaw on one of the legs this time.Next up was the wintermelon soup (冬瓜盅) - a great dish for the hot summer days as it cools the body. In addition to the melon, we had lotus seeds, chicken, roast duck and frog legs in our bowls. Very freshing and I had a second serving.Due to a miscommunication

Due to a miscommunication with my friend, we ended up ordering the deep-fried chicken testicle tofu (炸鸡子). Thankfully I asked them to reduce the amount being served. Some people at the table knew what this was, while others suspected something was up, but finished the tofu anyway before the answer was revealed.
We were served a big plate of fried giant pomfret (香煎大鲳鱼), always my favorite. The slices are just so yummy with the crispy surface and the soft and moist interior. I chose to dip it in the mayo this time.
Each of us was served a crab shell with baked crabmeat (酿焗鲜蟹盖), baked au gratin to perfection. Worked well with the Worcestershire Sauce and so much better than the one I had at Farm House (农圃). The crab meat was just so fresh and sweet, it was just good blended with strips of Chinese lettuce stems (莴笋).
We had sweet and sour pork (咕咾肉) at the request of the ladies, and crispy fried chicken (炸子鸡) as well as wolfberry leaves with pork liver (上汤枸杞叶与猪润). The chicken skin was nice and crispy - perfect, in fact. The wolfberry leaves were a novelty since I have never had it, but it was a little bitter.
We were very full, but I took in a bowl of mung bean soup (绿豆汤) for dessert anyway. This was a long time coming, but I think we were all pretty happy by the end of the evening.
