A standout dish. The soup is rich with crab roe and meat, wrapped in impressively thin skin. Balanced, indulgent, and technically well-executed — a highlight of the meal.
2. 無花果珍珠燉鷓鴣湯 — Double-Boiled Partridge Soup with Fig and Pearl Barley
Elegant and nourishing, with a gentle sweetness from fig. The partridge is tender, though the overall depth is pleasant rather than profound.滋補鮑魚嚮螺燉竹絲雞 — Herbal Black Chicken Soup with Abalone and Sea Whelk
A classic tonic-style broth. Ingredients are premium, and the flavors are clean, but it doesn’t quite reach the layered complexity of the best Michelin-standard soups you’ve had.
3. 能粉龍蝦石榴果 — Lobster Dumpling with Bamboo Pith Wrapper
Visually playful and texturally clever. It echoes the crab xiao long bao but with a lighter filling and added crunch from the bamboo pith. A creative twist, though flavor impact is gentler.
4. 老陳醋海蜇頭 — Marinated Jellyfish Head in Aged Vinegar
Seasoning is well-balanced, but the jellyfish texture leans overly firm. A more tender cut or longer marination might improve mouthfeel.
5. 韭黃南極鰲蝦腸粉 — Rice Noodle Roll with Antarctic Lobster and Yellow Chives
The filling doesn’t clearly distinguish itself from standard shrimp, and the rice roll skin is thicker than ideal, slightly masking the delicacy of the seafood.
6. 8味香菌脆皮雞 — Crispy Chicken with Eight Mushroom Varieties
A well-thought-out pairing. The chicken skin is perfectly crisp, and when eaten with the trio of mushrooms — fried, marinated, and chicken oil-infused — the umami layers come alive. A dish that rewards thoughtful assembly.
7. 馬特加斯加胡椒和牛酥 — Wagyu Puff with Madagascar Pepper
The pastry is excellent — light and flaky. However, the wagyu filling is overly assertive in flavor and lacks the tenderness expected from premium beef. A more delicate seasoning or finer cut could elevate it.
8. 8餐廳灌湯餃 — Signature Soup Dumpling with Conpoy and Crab Meat
A refined take on a classic. The filling is generous and flavorful, with dried scallop adding depth. The broth is rich without being heavy — a well-balanced execution.
