Diners are greeted by a mouth-watering display of the top pick of the house, Signature Soy Sauce Chicken 招牌豉油鸡. Chickens of an optimal weight and age are carefully-picked and first brined overnight; this helps retain the chicken’s succulence. The precisely-timed poaching process in a braising liquid concocted with home-aged soy sauce and a proprietary blend of over a dozen Chinese herbs and spices the likes of cinnamon and star anise, endows each chook with a beautiful caramel coat.
