The oldies soundtrack and warm lighting set a relaxed, retro vibe. The chef didn’t attend culinary school, but his diligence and passion more than make up for any lack of formal training. His cooking is rooted in home-style recipes, with a scattering of creative Taiwanese and Sichuanese twists. Cold appetisers are boldly flavoured with bright, savoury notes. His signature beef shin and tendon in mala sauce is loaded with umami and aromas.
