In addition to dim sum served during lunchtime, the menu is extensive with dishes offered in three sizes of small, medium and large. For starters, try flavourful pan-fried pork spare ribs with cream salad or stir-fried turnip mousse with XO sauce, the latter quite impressive. For a main course, sauteed prawns with chicken comes in a basket made of taro; the dish itself lives up to its clever presentation, with tender chicken, prawns and succulent sea scallops making for an excellent combination. For vegetable lovers, try sauteed broccoli topped with crab meat.

For dessert, Shanghai sesame dumplings in brown ginger syrup is delicate and pleasantly light after a heavy meal.
