Editorial Review

Excellent Cantonese cooking entices regulars to this little-known favourite (which is not part of the Asian Legend chain). Egg drop seafood soup transforms shredded crab, shrimp and baby tofu cubes into a heavenly warmer. Prawns, dotted with garlic and stir-fried in soy sauce, smell so tantalizing they’re devoured shell on, head included. Juicy chunks of black bean–flecked grouper sizzle on a hot plate with diced onion and green pepper. Tender strips of beef filet sautéed with julienne scallions and red peppers rest in a basket of fried taro strips. Service is attentive, though short on English. Mains $10–$30.
