- Comforting crab roe noodles
- Sichuan peppercorn century eggs
- Nourishing black garlic and conpoy chicken soup
- Caramelised pineapple sweet and sour pork
The meal concludes with warming ginger tea glutinous rice balls, a traditional palate cleanser. Additional servings of the steamed hairy crab are available at HK$168 each.
The Diechuan Bashu Tasting Banquet
For diners seeking bolder flavours, this menu presents eight meticulously crafted Sichuan courses designed to showcase the region’s signature heat and complexity:
- Pan-seared foie gras mapo tofu
- Peppery thick-cut ox tongue
- Steamed garoupa with green Sichuan pepper

Each dish is thoughtfully paired with half a serving of Diechuan malt whisky, a rare spirit produced at the foot of Sichuan’s Emei Mountain. The whisky’s floral, sandalwood, and citrus notes are intended to complement the spicy cuisine, creating a harmonious balance.
