Narrative

Opened by Kwok and his wife in the 1990s, the tiny dining room is decorated with neon signage, a framed Peanuts jigsaw puzzle, good-luck trinkets and a pair of grumpy barramundi in a tank, ready for their close-up steamed with ginger and shallots. There are more than one hundred dishes to choose from, though, including a homespun chicken soup with collagen-rich fish maw; free-range chicken spangled with sesame seeds across its mustard-yellow skin; and batons of eggplant steamed in a tonne of garlic, and covered with soy sauce and chewy matchsticks of lap cheong sausage.
