Ordering Strategy

Go with a group to tackle the large sharing plates like the whole fish and duck; for solo dining, the lunch sets are excellent value.

What to order

Safe first

Peking Duck

Described as the 'star dish' with 'beautifully lacquered' skin, these whole roast ducks are 'expertly carved at the table' and 'served in all their golden glory.'

Hungry

Signature Lychee Sweet & Sour Bass

A 'show-stopping' signature dish and 'stunner' that is a 'big hit with families' looking for a celebratory seafood meal.

Wildcard

Lotus roots stuffed with glutinous rice

This 'Jiangnan speciality' is slow-braised and drizzled in 'aromatic osmanthus syrup,' creating an 'intriguing note that confuses your senses.'

What to skip

Skip
Salt & Pepper Duck RackServed as an optional second course for the roast duck, reviewers warn that non-locals 'probably won’t appreciate the boniness' of the preparation.
