Spread over two floors, the interior, decked in modern Chinese motifs, overlooks a lush green courtyard. The menu highlights the chemistry between the clean umami of live seafood from Ningbo and the complex tang of fermented delicacies from Shaoxing. Surprisingly, the sweet flavour of white crab meat is accentuated when braised in big-boned stinky tofu. Try a glass of Shaoxing huangjiu (yellow wine), neat or mixed in a cocktail.
