    The Work Today

    Seasonal menu planning gives Cantonese form a working structure rather than a decorative theme. At the restaurant, the main menu, a classic set, a seasonal set, and new à la carte items each month create separate lanes for continuity and change, allowing seasonal ingredients to enter service without breaking contact with established Cantonese forms. Ge zha, described as deep-fried egg, is one signature work noted at the restaurant.
