1.Dim Sum
After order, 3 sauces are placed - Chili sauce (with little green chilies), broad bean sauce, dry bean curd w/ preserved vegetable sauce. One pair of share chopsticks is placed on the turntable. Teapots are without tealeaves drainer and are placed on the turntable (no warmer). As we saw the other guests who order premium teas have teapot with warmer on the table.
We order 3 types of appetizers and they are served before Dim Sum.
a.Chilled pork shank and jellyfish海紅葉拼燻蹄$80: The jellyfish seems not as good as Lung King Heen’s quality. However the chilled pork shank tastes nice.
b.Preserved Egg with young Ginger子薑糖心皮蛋$65: some of the preserved eggs seem to have nice carved patterns. Pickled gingers are too thickly cut which affect the texture.
c.Crispy-fried shredded eel with sweet and sour sauce甜酸脆鱔柳$80:
This dish has very good compliments from the guests. The shredded eel is wrapped by sweet and sour sauce so that it tastes not as dry as other restaurants’.
d.Dim Sum combinations: shared on the side boards by servers-Steamed shrimps with bell pepper, bamboo shoots and pork dumplings彩蔬鮮蝦餃: Dumpling wrapper is too thick and the dumpling is not hot enough maybe because of sharing on sideboard.
-Steamed pork and shrimp dumplings topped with crab roe珊瑚鮮蝦燒賣: Tasted just as normal “Siu Mai”.
-Steamed shrimp and pork dumpling topped with diced fish maw, Beche-de-Mer and conpoy. ($50–3 pcs)
It does provide a little taste of conpoy but no fish maw. There are lots of shredded shrimps inside.
e.Baked pastries filled with mixed seafood and bacon 煙肉海皇批 ($35-3pcs):
The puff tastes no good but with strong aroma of bacons and scallops.
Baked pastries filled with whole abalone and diced chicken原隻鮑魚雞粒酥($48 per pc):The puff with diced chicken is too sweet and the quality of whole abalone is not good enough.
f.Steamed barbecued pork buns 蠔皇叉燒包 ($35–3 pcs): Normal taste as other restaurants and the bun was too soft and sticky. However the barbecued pork is hot and taste good.
g.Pan-fried rice flour rolls with home-made spicy sauce. XO醬煎腸粉($38)
This tastes very nice with crispy wrapper and tender-hot inside. The X.O sauce sticks on the rice roll and taste integrated.
2.‘Peking Duck’ – 2 courses - $480
h.First course 片鴨一食
Serve on sideboard. The spring onions are wrapped by red pepper but without cucumbers. Serve only pancake and skins without asking with meat or not. All duck meats are used in the second course. Taste nothing special.
i.Second course 菜遠炒鴨絲 Pan-fried shredded duck meat with choy sumThere are some shredded mushrooms with duck meats. Duck meats taste pale and tough. The whole dish failed
3.Seafood Dishj.Baked stuffed crab shell釀焗鮮蟹蓋
It is stuffed with fresh crabmeat, onion, milk and it provides sticky and full texture. However, the shape of the crab shell seemed not to be pruned hence the presentation is not as nice as LKH’s. Besides, there is no shredded lettuce underneath to reduce the oily feeling.
k.Baked stuffed sea whelk in shell釀焗響螺
It has nice aroma and provides a good texture with pork, onions and other ingredients together.
4.Poultriesl.Crispy ‘Lung Kong’ chicken脆皮龍崗雞 (half $170)
It tastes crispy and nice. The texture of the chicken is very tender and the skin is crispy.
m.Crispy frog’s legs with spicy salt 椒鹽田鶏腿 ($500 – 8pcs)It is set as open food on spot. It is too expensive as double LKH’s price. And the taste is nothing special.
n.Sweet and sour pork with bell pepper and pineapple菠蘿咕嚕肉
It tastes normal.
5.Vegetables
o.Stewed seasonal vegetables with bamboo fungus in chicken broth竹笙上湯浸時令蔬 (莧菜)
Taste normal. The chicken broth is too salty but the Chinese spinach is fresh and tasty.
6.Soups
p.Double boiled Yunnan ham and shark’s skin soup肘子燉裙翅
The soup with Yunnan ham is very oily and the Yunnan ham tastes no good. The shark’s fin marrow tastes good and has tender texture.
q.Double boiled black mushrooms and fish maw in soup 花膠燉北菇
The price is only $140 per person and the taste is fair.
r.Sliced lobster in hot and sour chili soup 龍蝦酸辣羹
It contains two big pieces of lobster and they still taste good in the thick soup but the hot and sour soup taste a big pale.
7.Desserts.位上水果拼盤
It includes fresh mango, water melon and papaya. The fruits all taste nice and ripen.
t.楊枝甘露布甸
The presentation is special. Small pieces of fresh pear (with skin) are added to provide a special texture and also refreshing taste of this traditional dessert in Hong Kong. It is nice.
u.紅蓮燉雪蛤 – The hashma seems not as good as LKH’s.
v.炸釀朱古力荔枝芋球
Very special as a dessert but not strong taste of chocolate. Taste much like the taro dumplings.
