Chinese$$$

This swanky red and gold Chinese salon exudes glamour. Dishing out warm welcomes, it's a rare day owner Harry Sou isn't working the floor with his team of fleet-footed staff, satisfying customers' every whim. This is classic cooking with culinary fireworks thrown in to excite. Focusing on Cantonese and Peking cuisine, they offer what could well be the world's best crispy roast pork with plum dipping sauce and 'special' house-made mustard. Share roast platters of succulent duck and barbecue pork or try juicy chicken lovingly poached in 30-day old master stock, drizzled with ground ginger and garlic sauce. Delicate peking duck with pancakes and hoisin sauce is light and sweet; thinly sliced tender pepper steak with snow peas bursting with flavour and textural contrast. Sundays bustle with exceptional yum cha, including greatest hits such as light, crisp salt and pepper squid and perfect hand-crafted shao mai with very special XO sauce - the love and artistry shine through in every bite.
