Its menu offers both expensive live seafood dishes as well as simpler family-style dishes. And it is the more homey dishes that make more of an impression.
An unusual dish has a whole chicken wrapped in cabbage and simmered in soup with ginseng and wolfberries. The soup is thick with collagen and the chicken is delicious.
Another dish that leaves a wonderful impression is the deep-fried prawn balls with crispy almond seeds and pumpkin cream sauce. The pumpkin sauce is spiked with curry leaves and bits of chilli padi, creating a rainbow of flavours to titillate the palate.
