Our recommendation

Stir Fried Clams with Black Bean Sauce (豉椒炒蜆)

The dish starts with a base of clams, which are stir-fried to perfection in a wok. The clams are cooked until they pop open, ensuring the meat inside is tender and juicy.The addition of hot peppers brings a level of spice to the dish, not overwhelming but just enough to complement the taste of the clams and black bean sauce. Often, this dish is garnished with a sprinkling of chopped green onions for freshness and served alongside a bowl of fluffy white rice.

Stir Fried Oyster with Ginger and Green Onion (薑蔥生蠔)

A splash of soy sauce and wine brings depth to the overall flavor, while a dash of white pepper adds a subtle kick. The final dish is both aromatic and flavorful, where the star ingredient - the oysters - remain in the spotlight. It's a common sight at a traditional Hong Kong Dai Pai Dong.

Steamed Fresh Water Eel with Black Bean Sauce (豉汁蒸白鱔)

Fresh water eel is prized for its tender, rich texture and subtly sweet flavor. After being cleaned and prepared, the eel is placed in a dish and covered in black bean sauce, which imparts a depth of salty and umami notes to the delicate meat.
