 Barbecued Sliced Pork with Chicken Liver  (HK$168)

Literally meaning “Gold Coin Chicken” in Cantonese, it is one of the most classic dishes that depict the essence of authentic Cantonese cuisine. The sandwich-like delicacy consists of four layers: the top and bottom are barbecued pork, in between are chicken liver and translucent pork belly fat – which has been marinated in white sugar and rice wine for translucency. The layers are coated with honey then roasted together, the distinct flavors of each layer fuse together, unique but not greasy.

 Braised Preserved Pomelo Peel with Shrimps Seed  (HK$168)

Another classic representative of nostalgic Cantonese cuisines: the pomelo skin is soaked in water, and then wrung by hand repeatedly to remove the pomelo skin’s astringency. The sponge-like pomelo skin is served on fish soup and sprinkled with the supreme shrimp seed, which gives the dish an extra savory kick.

 Stewed Goose with Onion in Supreme Soya Sauce  (HK$188)

This Hakka-style dish is another try-worthy classic Cantonese delicacy.  The marinated goose is cooked in hot oil while being turned constantly, this step is crucial as it gives the goose the signature golden brown crispy skin and tender meat.
