Cantonese Crispy Chicken 🐔🔥
-
This place is probably one of the cheapest 2 Michelin-starred restaurants in the world. Went to check it out for lunch and the food was great. Classic Cantonese dishes and a big selection of dim-sum. The crispy baby chicken was ridiculously good. Golden crispy skin and incredibly tender meat. Flavoursome and satisfying. Sweet and sour pork, texturally great but lacked enough sauce and was patchy in places. Char siu was off the charts - definitely my favourite dish of the order. Sweet, sticky and nicely charred with ultra juicy, tender pork. Roast duck was good too, nicely prepared and served with the chefs fried rice and preserved Chinese sausage. Overall a great lunch and tasty food, would go back for sure. When looking at this place with a Michelin lens though, it’s crazy to me how it was awarded 2 stars. It lacked the refinement and polish of your typical 2 or even 1 Michelin-starred restaurant. Food was good, but no idea how they got the stars, I didn’t see anything unique or innovative - but maybe that’s why I’m not a Michelin inspector.. 😆. The total bill was £50 - Insane value #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️
