Shimmering Sand Crab 金沙

Their best-selling and a must-try on their menu, the Shimmering Sand Crab is a perfect mix of fresh crab meat that slides off easily, topped with a thick and buttery sauce and finished with crispy garlic bits. The different layers of textures in this dish surprisingly complement each other really well. The sauce was flavourful, the meat was soft and fresh, and the garlic bits gave the overall experience an elevated texture which I enjoyed. This really needs to go into your must-try list!

Hong Kong Style Typhoon Shelter Crab 避风塘

Can I just say that Uncle Leong Signatures never serves bad seafood?! Their Hong Kong Style Typhoon Shelter crab is a unique rendition of flavoured crabs, and rarely you see seafood chains whipping up dried flavoured crabs. This was definitely not a let-down. The meat was full of flavour and spices, I felt like they were dancing in my mouth! I’ve never tried dried flavoured crabs before so imagine my surprise when I realised that Uncle Leong Signatures was able to retain such flavour in the crab meat. For the best experience, sprinkle some dried garlic bits on the crab meat, you’re welcome.

Braised Mushroom with Baby Abalone 冬菇小鲍鱼

Wait, they’re supposed to be baby abalones? They sure didn’t look like babies to me when we tried it! They were, in fact, huge and it was actually a pleasant surprise that Uncle Leong Signatures was so generous with their portions. The broccoli was perfectly boiled, not too soft and not too hard either, and was delicious when eaten with the tender mushroom and chewy abalone!

Deep Fried Seabass 油炸金目鲈

Wow, I’m not even a fan of fried fish but this definitely tops my list of delicious fried fish. The meat was not fishy at all, which proved to be extremely fresh. Tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, there’s something about the balanced texture that made me feel this dish was cooked to perfection. The soy sauce was of top quality as it has a sense of depth, and even though it was flavourful it was light and tasty which went really well with the heavier taste of fish meat.

Herbal Chicken 富贵鸡

Imagine chicken meat so tender, it slides off the bone when you only use chopsticks. Sounds amazing, and this Herbal Chicken is exactly that! The chicken meat was so soft and flavoursome, it was a delight to have it with the thick and fragrant gravy. Not only that, the dish was filled with various yummy ingredients to the brim, and I felt that this would definitely be enough for a whole family of 6!

Twin Taste Kai Lan 双味芥兰

The Twin Taste Kai Lan was an interesting take to the every day ordinary kai lan dish. I’ve never had dishes similar to this before, so it actually took a while for me to realise that there were fried kai lan leaves! The leaves were crisp and crunchy, which I felt was a creative way to elevate the texture of a typical kai lan dish.

Rating: 4/5

Shredded Dried Scallop Fried Rice 干贝丝炒饭

With a generous amount of scallop in the fried rice, you won’t need to worry about whether you’ll be able to grab some in your bowl! The fried rice was fragrant as well and tasted best when topped with some shredded dried scallop for a boost of flavour and texture.

Rating: 4/5

Salted Egg Lotus Root 咸蛋莲藕

Crispy and yummy, the Salted Egg Lotus Root is a good snack to have before you dig into the other dishes. The dish is savoury and appetizing, and it’ll definitely perk your taste buds. The salted egg was prominent enough as well, and to be honest this might be one of my favourite dishes from Uncle Leong Signatures!
