A fun night of laughter while digging into a whole crispy pigeon with my hands? Count me in! The collaboration between @chef_edmond of @shanghaiplus.wanchai and seasoned Chef Ye Guo Ping of @dragonsden.hk was a cross generational dialogue of Shanghainese and Cantonese flavors. The event also served as a sneak preview of Dragon’s Den, which will officially open in mid August and pays homage to Hong Kong’s golden era with retro Cantonese dishes. These comfort Chinese flavors were just what I needed after my Europe trip. Highlights of the night included the char siu, chilled spicy squid, double-boiled winter melon soup, crispy pigeon, sweet & sour pork with lychee, and crunchy fish maw with pork lard rice - the accompanying sweet and spicy sauce was so good we had to ask for extra!
