Tao's Roasted Duck (Hong Kong Style)
Juicy and succulent, the roasted duck with crispy skin was so good on its own. It was aromatic and tasty!

Steamed White Sultan Fish with Superior Soy Sauce
Perfectly steamed, the sweet and succulent fish was absolutely delish.

Tok Alang Style Wok-fried Prawn
Deep fried until crispy golden brown, the prawns were coated in a rich, sweet savoury sauce and filled with a lovely hint of wok hei. However, it was a tad overcooked, personally, I prefer my prawns to be juicy and plump.

Braised Sea Cucumber, Mushroom, Crab Roe Paste and Vegetables
An auspicious dish not to be missed, hearty and filled with an abundance of flavourful sea cucumber, mushroom, crab roe paste and vegetables.

Mini Steamed Rice in Lotus Leaf
Flavourful and aromatic, the rice comes with bits of salted egg yolk, chicken cubes, dried shrimp and mushroom.

The tasty glutinous rice balls filled with sweet black sesame pastes.
