Roast Duck (Boneless)
The skin is dark lacquered, with the fat rendered and meat so soft and sensuous it feels braised; it sits in a moat of sweet-savoury liquor that critics say could be sipped neat as a restorative.
Well-backed by reviews and repeat mentions.

Roasted Pork Cheung Fun
Silky and glossy, this dish is so highly regarded it made The Infatuation's 'Best Cheung Fun in London' list.
Useful signal, but still lighter than the standouts.
