A storied Cantonese restaurant with over fifty years of history is making headlines this season. Sheung Light Seafood Restaurant, alongside its concept brand Sheung Light Club, has introduced an “Award-Winning Tasting Menu” for autumn and winter. The menu is built around the restaurant’s signature truffle glass-roasted goose, which recently earned a spot on Asia’s 100 Plates list. A food journalist from U Food visited the Tuen Mun branch to sample the dishes and discovered that the venue also now features an expanded children’s play area—available free of charge for diners.
Award-Winning Truffle Creations
The star of the new menu is the black truffle glass-roasted goose. The dish lives up to its name with a glass-like, exceptionally crispy skin while the meat remains tender and juicy. A strong truffle aroma permeates every bite, and the accompanying black truffle sour sauce cuts through the richness, balancing the flavor. This inventive approach helped the dish gain recognition on the Asia’s 100 Plates list.
Beyond the goose, the menu expands the truffle theme into other courses. The black truffle stir-fried crab comes with shells pre-cracked, allowing the dark sauce to soak fully into the sweet crabmeat. A bed of udon noodles at the bottom soaks up the remaining juices. For dim sum lovers, the kitchen offers black truffle rice noodle rolls filled with roasted goose, locking in the savory oil without greasiness. The black pan-fried buns are stuffed with the same truffle-goose mixture and deliver an explosive burst of broth when bitten.
Seasonal Comfort and Sweet Finish
A limited-time dish, the lamb and fish soup (available until late January 2027), provides warming comfort for cooler days. The soup uses a specific cut of young lamb prized for its mild flavor, combined with fresh crucian carp in a milky broth. The fish stock mutes any gamey notes, leaving a layered umami that lingers.
For dessert, the black-and-white sesame cake offers a cool, smooth contrast. The dark half is studded with crushed sesame seeds, while the light half carries a gentle coconut milk fragrance, making for a refreshing end to the meal.
Family-Friendly Upgrades at the Tuen Mun Branch
One of the most notable updates at the Sheung Light Club in Tuen Mun is the completely revamped children’s play corner. The facility now includes a rotating slide, straight slide, a double-layer climbing castle, and a ball pit. Safety padding covers all edges and railings, and the area undergoes scheduled cleaning twice daily (from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM and 9:30 PM to 10:00 PM).
Crucially, the play area is free for children accompanying dine-in customers during open hours—10:30 AM to 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM. This allows parents to enjoy their meal while children burn off energy in a supervised environment.
