Born and raised in Hong Kong, Chef Ricky Leung’s leverages on his culture and 30 years of culinary experience to embed the true essence of Cantonese cuisine into his new dishes. Of which, his signature dish, Crispy Chicken Smoked with Royal Tie Guanyin starts with a dry-ageing process of ten hours to render the crispiest skin, before it is smoked with lychee wood and Royal Tie Guanyin tea leaves. Another dish we recommend is Fresh Crab Meat and Egg White stuffed in Chicken Wing, traditionally done with birds nest. The dish is rich and sinful from deep-drying the chicken skin, yet, with traces of freshness from the mix of shredded crab meat and a whole prawn.
