With famend Chef Katherine Chung on the helm, this culinary extravaganza appeared fairly tempting. The Hakka delicacies, with its roots within the migration of the Hakka individuals throughout China, intrigued me with its tales of resilience and adaptation. 

Katherine’s menu took us on a worldwide expedition, exploring Hakka delicacies from the far corners of the world the place her household and buddies have settled. The chef used genuine components and spices like Fermented Black Beans, Chili Bean Paste, Mustard Tubers, Sand Ginger, and her personal selfmade Rice Wine.  

My culinary journey began with the Fish ball soup, a comforting dish that boasted pork and mushroom swimming in a deeply flavoured broth. Its lightness and satisfying style set a promising tone for the remainder of the meal. Moving on to the Small Plates, the Hakka Yam Abacus Beads took centre stage. A pleasant mixture of pork, bean sprouts, and mushroom, it happy my style buds with its medley of textures and flavours. Next, the Crackling Roast Pork Belly made its look. While it wasn’t a foul dish, it fell wanting reaching the extraordinary style I had hoped for. Nevertheless, it happy my cravings for succulent and crispy pork.

However, the star of the menu was undoubtedly the Whole Steamed Fish. Its presentation was a visible marvel, capturing my consideration from the second it arrived.
