Description

Embroidered wall panelling, a semi-circular velvet banquette, and mirrors in bronze frames prime diners for a luxury dining experience. On the menu, classic Cantonese takes centre stage – think dim sum, honey-glazed BBQ Iberico pork, and roast goose. Also check out the chef’s recommendations on the first page, often featuring one hero ingredient prepared in a myriad of ways. Most items are available in different portion sizes.
