Sample Menu:
Lemon Chicken

With its crisp texture and tender meat, the ratio of sugar and lemon varies with each chef but the final sauce has a fresh and not overly sweet taste

Seafood Combination
The technique used for this dish, results in crisp-textured seafood and vegetable with a tasty and sustaining flavor

Salmon with Black Bean Sauce
The deep ebony of black beans against the coral of the grilled salmon makes this a very beautiful dish

Crispy Duck
Twice cooked duckling marinated in aromatic spices, steamed and then fried to perfection

Filet Mignon with Black Pepper Sauce
Served with sweet peppers and onions

Black Mushroom Duck
Shanghai style of slow roasting in soy sauce, sugar, wine and ginger

Garlic Prawn
Minimal use of seasoning with a dash of rice wine-stimulating and intense flavor

Szechwan Style Red Snapper
A whole fish, with head, tail, and fins intact, is a symbol of prosperity and good luck. A perfect mixture of honey, garlic, and dash of ground pepper sauce gives this crispy fish an exotic flavor

Peking Duck
It dominates as a pinnacle of culinary achievement with its lacquer-red skin, succulent tender meat and the original concept of wrapping that brought the food of northern China to world prominence (required one-day advance order)

Soong
Chicken, Shrimp, Veggie
Soongs are a unique Chinese delight of wok-seared dish. The chopped meat and vegetables are coated with minimal sauce, so the cold lettuce leaves, which act as a wrapper, remain very crisp and delicate flavor (low fat option)

Tempura
Shrimp, Veggie
Dipped in light batter and fried to perfection. Served with miso soup, green salad and rice
