What we ate:-
· 黑松露脆皮文昌鸡 (Black Truffle Crispy-skin Wenchang Chicken): A luxurious twist on a classic. The chicken skin is expertly roasted to a perfect, glass-like crispness, while the meat remains tender and juicy. It's generously topped with fragrant black truffle shavings, adding a deep, earthy aroma.
· 沙茶肉糟啫云南扁豆 (Satay Minced Pork with Yunnan Flat Beans in a Hot Pot): A hearty and savory dish. The minced pork is stir-fried in a rich, slightly spicy satay sauce. It's served sizzling in a hot pot with crunchy Yunnan flat beans, creating a wonderful contrast in textures and a mouthwatering aroma.
· 砂锅豉香秋葵啫鱿鱼筒 (Claypot Squid Tubes with Okra in Fermented Bean Sauce): This claypot dish is full of wok hei (the "breath of the wok"). The squid tubes are springy, the okra is slightly sticky, and both are coated in a pungent, savory sauce made from fermented black beans, garlic, and chili.
· 招积茄子 (Zhaoji Fried Eggplant): A signature Bingsheng dish known for its clever technique. The eggplant is double-fried to achieve an incredibly crispy, golden shell that almost shatters, while the inside becomes meltingly soft and sweet. The name "Zhaoji" is said to be old Cantonese slang for "proud" or "show-off," perfectly describing its standout texture.
AND to go with
· 白米饭 (Steamed Rice) was the essential staple, a simple yet perfect counterpoint that balanced the meal's rich sauces and bold flavors.
