Well deserved Michelin One Star restaurant The delicacy is yummy and delicious using well selected ingredients, fresh, great cooking techniques, well balanced taste, end results is very well refined quality dishes. That lotus wrapped rice is stunning with great level of aroma. The dessert Pomelo Sago dish is best in town. Well tuned on thickness, creaminess and yet well balanced. The razor clam with bamboo shot is super fresh, giant fresh razor clam and super refreshing bamboo shot.

Service is super attentive and giving us plenty of time between each dishes to enjoy the food. The 2nd seating was removed from our table based on our request to enable us to have the table all night long. The view is stunning and has the whole Victoria harbour in front of us.

The atmosphere is superb, very romantic and suits couple for festive season like Xmas. The whole restaurant is well decorated, tuned with the right lighting to enable you to see the food clearly and dark enough else where to give you the romantic feel

Given the above quality it comes with a high price but proportion to what you get. In short good value for money. Worth to enjoy dinner in this...

Simple yet sophisticated Chinese cuisine. They don't overly complex the flavors but everything was well balanced.

We had the Roasted Goose 👍 which the smokiness was very pungent and flavorful, highly recommend the Stir-Fried Fish Noodle 👍👍👍 it was al dente with "wok" flavor but not too salty, the Fried Oyster Omelette 👍 was fluffy but quite filling would recommend to only order if you're sharing amongst at least 4 people. The Steamed Spotted Garoupa Fillet with Rice Noodle & Garlic 👍👍 was light but the fillet was cooked perfectly and the rice noodle was chewy but absorbed all the flavors from the fish, only wished they had more of it! Deep-Fried Duck & Mashed Taro 👍👍👍also highly recommended, this is quite a heavy dish but the balance of the shredded duck with the taro was well balanced and the batter was more like a japanese style tonkatsu crust but it wasn't oily at all. the Minced Fish Soup👍 was recommended to us, but personally a little more fishy than my preference though there was heaps of ingredients.

Service was attentive and felt a little more laid back compare to other 5 star hotel chinese restaurants which I actually prefer. Expect...
