I think I can speak for the majority here and say when you hit Golden Century, you order the XO pippies. I used fresh scallops and dried scallops in my XO sauce, along with prawn floss, shrimp paste and dried shrimps. The killer touch to the XO came with a couple teaspoons rendered fat from some roast chorizos….insane. The poached trout and green leaves would have been a nice meal on their own…. but the pippies just elevated this meal to a championship feed.
Boxing Chicken….one of my all time favourite dishes. Think sweet and sour pork, with chicken taking on the role of the pig. It fucking tasty I don’t care what anyone thinks. I had the pleasure to learn this dish from the master that is Uncle Choi, the happy buddha master chef that used to run the kitchen at my Uncle Soo’s restaurant, Choi’s Inn. Probably the best Chinese restaurant ever. The hokkien noodle dish is solid as a rock, and one thats universal the world over.
