Watermelon Chicken/ 西瓜鸡 (Rm 30/ small)

Our orders were served inwards a jiffy as well as nosotros were really impressed with the serving speed. I was baffled when my dining companion ordered the dish- Watermelon Chicken. Under the impression of "Gu Lou Chicken"-inspired dish, I idea they would at to the lowest degree blend inwards the Watermelon-element or infuse a hint of Watermelon flavour into the Chicken but I was wrong. To my dismay, the Watermelon as well as Chicken were both served separately. I threw the white flag as well as did non bother to inquire farther but this seems to last pop alternative alongside the diners. Watermelon aside, the puckered Chicken coated inwards sugariness sauce was expert to spoon over rice. 

Another signature dish of theirs- Braised Clams with Yellow Wine was an strange experience, the alcohol flavour was bold but the "broth" carried an indelible sweetness. H5N1 generous sum of julienned Ginger was added every bit well, it was fun for a alter but non something that I'd similar to gild again. The existent depict of the eve was the Steamed Grouper, nosotros had ours weighed at to a greater extent than or less 1 kg as well as thus the flesh was at its best state- trouble solid as well as bouncy. It was delicately fresh as well as carried no fish stench. The component was simply squeamish for the few of us.
