(Overall: B) - This Michelin rated restaurant near Milan Centrale offers an elevated elegance to…read moreCantonese fare with traditional and innovative takes. The ambience offers a natural elegance with high ceilings, natural lightings, and wood trunk tables. I found the food to be mostly well executed, drawing a lot of Cantonese flavors from my hometown, which was impressive given that I could not find anyone in the restaurant that spoke Cantonese.
(Amuse Buche: A) - The chicken strips were quite interesting as this seasoning style is traditionally used with jellyfish, but I assumed it was adjusted to a Western audience and it works almost as well! The prawn is a classic comfort food done well. Finally, the pickled radish is one of my favorite childhood snacks that has been seeing a resurgence recently, so I love that it is in Milan as well.
(Dumping Sampler: A+) - The plating is a work of art with these majestic handmade sculptures. I enjoyed the touch of elegance on the classic siu mai, ha gow, and xiaolongbao, and some more innovative twists like the truffle dumpling that paired well given the complimentary nature of the delicate flavors.
(Beef Cheung Fun: F) - 10eu is very expensive for a rice crepe, but I was surprised at the refined nature of the crepe itself. While the filling has notes of traditional cantonese cuisine, the consistency of the beef is very rough and unpleasant.
