Every dish is a signature selected from local flavors. π Banana Leaf Grilled Golden Pompano The fish absorbs rich spice aromas, crispy outside and tender inside, with no fishy taste. π² Sizzling Tofu (Super Popular) Served piping hot and sizzling. The tofu is so tender it melts in your mouth, with a robust flavor β my personal favorite π π Hainanese Chicken Rice Silky poached chicken, incredibly tender! Paired with fragrant chicken oil rice, chili sauce, and ginger paste β a must-order! Perfect for Chinese palates! π Curry Laksa Noodle Soup Rich coconut curry broth thatβs flavorful but not heavy.
