This dainty and marvellously delicious stir fry, the Osmanthus Egg Shark Fin 桂花翅, is a dish fit for an emperor! Or, rather fit for an Empress as this dish was originally created as a tribute to the redoubtable Empress Dowager Cixi 慈禧太后, she who ruled China from behind an embroidered screen for five decades from 1861 until her death in 1908.

Hong Kong Crispy Noodles 港式煎麵
This ridiculously delicious dish is something probably anyone who has ever eaten at a Chinese restaurant has had before. These Hong Kong Crispy Noodles 港式煎麵 or 兩面黃, also known as Crispy Chow Mein or Hong Kong Style Fried Noodles is a dish of lush contrasts. It features a bottom layer of pan fried crispy crunchy golden browned noodles topped with a savoury stir fry of vegetable and meat/seafood with an extra heaping of soy flavored sauce. That extra heaping of sauce trickles through the crispy crunchy noodles, softening and flavoring some while leaving others still delightfully crunchy.
Savory tender bites of veggies and meat mixed with crunchy bits of noodles...eating these HK Crispy Noodles is so much fun!

Sichuan Fish with Pickled Mustard Greens | Suan Cai Yu 酸菜魚
This post gives me so much pleasure. It is always a delight to share the joy that food brings to us but especially so in this case. Because this dish is soooo good, like food for the soul good. Comforting, seductive, addictive, pleasing in all ways is the Sichuan Fish with Pickled Mustard Greens. One heck of a sexy dish if you ask me.
This showstopper seafood dish can almost be a meal in itself, to be shared in a Chinese style family diner. You could add another dish or two, we added a vegetable dish along with white rice and it was just right for the three of us. Sichuan Fish with Pickled Mustard Greens, also known as Suan Cai Yu 酸菜魚 is a resplendent dish full of velvety tender fish slices, delicately soured pickled mustard greens, crunchy sprouts and slippery vermicelli all immersed in a most deliciously addictive tangy savory soup.
