we had the HK$680 menu and the best part of the meal was the beginning and end. The appetiser platter — six small dishes on one plate, with the highlights being pork roll (although we couldn't taste the preserved tofu as listed), a thin slice of beef rolled around mizuna and served with fried enoki mushrooms, steamed egg white tofu with crab meat and ham, and a refreshing Dutch tomato with lychee. The final savoury dishes were also good: a delicious bowl of poached baby vegetables in a richly flavoured fish broth, and fried rice with crab roe and deep-fried shredded conpoy. We also liked the baked prawn with crab roe and green Sichuan peppercorns, and double-boiled yellow squash soup with a soft, tender whole conpoy, although the hokkigai (red clam) was overcooked.
