TURN-ONS We started our meal with the whole abalone puff with Yunnan ham in rose sauce. While abalone dim sum is nothing new, we loved the addition of rose, which gave extra finesse to the premium ingredient. The stand-out was the pan-fried noodles with sea cucumber and shrimp roe in abalone sauce. The sea cucumber is wrapped in layers of noodle, then pan-fried until it’s crispy. This is a new way to appreciate the seafood – an experiment in texture which we loved. Dessert was also a hit with the crème brûlée that is enhanced with tangerine peel – we never would have guessed these two ingredients would work together and we loved the ingenuity behind it.
