Double-Boiled Sliced Whelk with Matsutake
Start your seasonal journey with a soul-soothing delicacy that captures the purity of land and sea. The whelk, tender and subtly briny, is gently double-boiled with prized matsutake mushrooms, releasing a rich, umami-laden aroma.
Every spoonful carries the earthy depth of ancient forests and the refreshing brine of the ocean, coming together in a nourishing broth that cools the summer heat while restoring the senses.
Pan-Fried Zucchini with Dried Fish Floss
Light yet satisfying, this dish transforms humble ingredients into a vibrant summer treat with thinly sliced zucchini crisp on the outside and tender within, pan-fried to golden perfection and generously topped with airy, savoury fish floss.
The interplay of textures and the contrast of smoky, sweet, and vegetal notes make this a refreshing course that brings out the essence of wok artistry.
Pan-Fried Shrimp Pancake
The hand-formed shrimp cakes are crafted using fresh shrimp sourced from the renowned Jun’an water villages. Each golden patty boasts a delicately crisp exterior that gives way to a pearly, springy centre bursting with natural sweetness.
Accompanied by a sweet chilli dipping sauce, this dish offers a medley of textures with crunch, bounce, and briny succulence that evoke summer by the water’s edge.
Braised Sea Cucumber and Fish Maw in Pottage with Rice
A luxurious interpretation of a classic dish, this nourishing pottage blends sea cucumber and fish maw with slow-simmered rice to create a silky, velvety texture. The richness of ocean treasures is gently balanced by the soothing base of the rice soup, making each spoonful an invitation to slow down and savour. Comforting yet elevated, it captures the essence of summer nourishment in every bite.
