Roast Duck (Boneless)

The skin is dark lacquered, with the fat rendered and meat so soft and sensuous it feels braised; it sits in a moat of sweet-savoury liquor that critics say could be sipped neat as a restorative.

Well-backed by reviews and repeat mentions.

Roasted Pork Cheung Fun

Silky and glossy, this dish is so highly regarded it made The Infatuation's 'Best Cheung Fun in London' list.
