The enduring appeal of Cantonese cuisine stems from its breadth, in terms of both ingredients used and how it is prepared. The chef’s forte is seafood. Hong Kong grouper and filefish are steamed or stir-fried. The stewing of ‘ham yui’, fish pickled in salt and dried in the sun, together with chicken and tofu is trademark Guangdong. In a unique touch, mapo tofu is combined with shirako and oysters. Eager to reproduce the flavours of Hong Kong, the owner-chef uses jasmine rice.
