Crystal har gow

水晶蝦餃

Four prawns, twelve translucent pleats, by hand. The bench mark dim sum has lived here since opening night.

$28

Black truffle siu mai

黑松露燒賣

Pork, prawn, black truffle shaving. The siu mai we'd serve a visiting chef without explanation.

$32

Salt-baked abalone

鹽焗鮑魚

Whole abalone in a salt crust, cracked tableside, served with XO and steamed jasmine rice. Two per order.

$72

Char siu duck

叉燒鴨

House-cured, hung 24 hours, glazed five times. Not on every menu — call ahead to confirm.

$58

Mapo lobster

麻婆龍蝦

Sichuan numbing-and-spicy with lobster. The chef's nod to grandmother's kitchen, with new ambition.

$88

Egg-tart, finished here

蛋撻

Pastry par-baked from morning, custard poured to order, finished in seven minutes. House standard for endings.

$14
