The main courses include fish maw shredded duck soup with scallops, Guan Yan stuffed with bamboo fungus, and crispy Blue Angel Baihua Pipa Chicken. The ingredients are selected from super high-quality ingredients, combined with the chef's exquisite skills and innovations, which are impressive and have endless aftertaste.
