Together with the Black Pepper Crab, this is another popular favourite. Each pork rib is perfectly marinated so that the aroma of the coffee seeps into the tender-grilled rib...

Petite Abalone & Scallop with Yam Nest ($10 each, minimum 2) -

A delicate appetizer this can be. Right beneath the crispy yam basket is the surprise find of a delicate mildly-seasoned scallop...

Almond Pudding with Strawberry ($10) -

What better way to end of a rich savoury meal than with a sweet strawberry dessert? The plainness of the pudding brings out the sweet-sour taste of the fragrant strawberry sauce...
