The veteran chef-owner devises a menu of traditional home-style Shandong fare that showcases classic techniques – oil-blanching, quick-frying in soy-based sauces, flambéing… Start with pear soup or eight-treasure tea, followed by braised pork belly casserole – a stew that boasts deep umami. Do as the locals do and wrap the pork in fluffy shaobing. Sautéed free-range chicken, and sea cucumber braised with spring onion (pre-order only) are also great choices.
