Building upon the success of last year's highly acclaimed 8 Hands Culinary Showcase at Min Jiang, Goodwood Park, the renowned restaurant has once again raised the bar with its latest culinary extravaganza, the "10 Hands Culinary Showcase: A Rediscovery of Cantonese Classics". This anticipated event, taking place from 13 to 20 July 2023, brings together five distinguished chefs, including veteran guest chefs Chan Kwok, Yim Yiu Wing and Cheng Hon Chau, alongside Min Jiang's own esteemed chefs Chan Hwan Kee and Ho Chee Hee. With their combined expertise and illustrious careers, this exceptional lineup promises to deliver an unforgettable dining experience steeped in Cantonese traditions.
The showcase offers two meticulously curated set menus. The 6-course lunch menu ($138 per person) and the 8-course lunch and dinner menu ($168 per person) both promise to take diners on a journey of Cantonese flavours and traditions.
Steamed Diced Chicken in Pomegranate Egg White Parcel 4/5
Kicking off the feast is the visually stunning Steamed Diced Chicken in Pomegranate Egg White Parcel. Resembling a chrysanthemum and pomegranate, this dish features a delicate pastry made from scratch using egg white and flour. Inside, a medley of finely diced chicken, celery, dried shiitake, and carrots is bathed in superior stock and crowned with luscious crab roe, creating a harmonious blend of flavours.
Baked Stuffed Crab Shell & Roasted Silver Hill Irish Duck 4.2/5
Next, the Baked Stuffed Crab Shell takes centre stage, paying homage to Hong Kong's fusion of Eastern and Western cuisines. Handpicked Sri Lankan crab meat is combined with onions and shiitake mushrooms in a cream sauce reminiscent of bechamel. The mixture is then baked in a crab shell to golden perfection. Accompanying this delicacy is the succulent Roasted Silver Hill Irish Duck, complemented by sweet and juicy fresh mango and a tangy homemade plum sauce.
Boneless Chicken Thigh stuffed with Bird's Nest and Yunnan Ham Double-boiled Superior Soup 4.5/5
A standout dish, the Boneless Chicken Thigh stuffed with Bird's Nest and Yunnan Ham in Double-boiled Superior Soup, showcases hours of laborious cooking. The chicken is deboned and filled with premium bird's nest before being double-boiled for three additional hours. The result is a dish bursting with rich and pure flavours derived from the carefully selected ingredients.
Pan-fried Dace Fish Meat, Liver Sausage and Orange Peel stuffed in whole Dace Fish 4/5
Delving into a traditional recipe from the Shunde district in Guangdong, China, the Pan-fried Dace Fish Meat, Liver Sausage, and Orange Peel stuffed in a whole Dace Fish offers a delightful combination of textures and flavours. The dace fish flesh is expertly removed and blended into a fish paste, which is then combined with orange peel for a citrus note and finely diced liver sausage for added depth. The fish paste is stuffed back into the dace fish and pan-fried to crispy perfection.
Crispy Wontons with Pork and Seafood in Sweet and Sour Sauce 4/5
For those seeking a familiar yet elevated snack, the Crispy Wontons with Pork and Seafood in Sweet and Sour Sauce delivers. These wontons feature iberico char siew as a filling, elevating the dish's succulent flavour. Accompanied by a tantalizing sweet and sour sauce brimming with pork slices, pork liver, prawns, and scallops, this dish is a true delight when dipped into the sauce.
Wok-fried Crispy Silver Hill Irish Duck with Yam Paste 4.2/5
Prepare for a symphony of textures and flavours with the Wok-fried Crispy Silver Hill Irish Duck with Yam Paste. The duck is wok-fried to a golden brown, creating a layer of crispy goodness atop a bed of mashed taro. Each bite offers a delightful combination of fragrant, fluffy, juicy, and crispy elements.
Stewed White Jade Noodles with Wild Mushrooms and Mustard Green 4/5
As a light yet flavoursome finale to the savoury courses, the Stewed White Jade Noodles with Wild Mushrooms and Mustard Green provides a comforting and homely experience. This bowl of goodness brings together tender noodles, earthy wild mushrooms, and mustard greens in a flavoursome broth.
Crispy-fried Water Chestnut with Apricot, Chilled D24 Pandan Gula Melaka Rice Roll 4/5
To conclude this remarkable culinary journey, we are treated to a duo of delectable sweet treats. The Crispy-fried Water Chestnut with Apricot is a delightful creation where steamed water chestnut and apricot are enveloped in a thin, crispy batter, offering a delightful contrast of textures. Meanwhile, the Chilled D24 Pandan Gula Melaka Rice Roll steals the show with its soft and slightly chewy exterior, filled with creamy D24 durian pulp and enhanced by a drizzle of fragrant gula melaka. This harmonious combination leaves a lingering sweetness on the palate, providing a satisfying conclusion to the gastronomic adventure at the "10 Hands Culinary Showcase: A Rediscovery of Cantonese Classics."
