Flavour & Texure

I just love duck! But tonight as I tucked into a few old favourites I was conscious that it was not only the rich succulent duck meat with its crispy skin that was the main attraction but rather the heady mix of duck and aromatic Chinese five spice (cassia, clove, fennel seed, star anise, and Szechuan pepper) that was demanding my attention. Chinese five spice is such a defining flavour of Cantonese cuisine and this dish in particular is testament to valuing and honoring the classics.

Equally with another of our regular choices - bean curd stuffed with prawns. The coveted prawn not the feature in this dish but rather the luscious texture of the bean curd with its capacity to absorb all the complexity of the sauces, fillings and accompaniments.

Fabulous flavours and textures combine, such is the splendour of cooking and eating!
