BBQ beef.
I believe these were BBQ short ribs but I could be wrong. Topped with toasted sesame seeds.
Sashimi.
Fresh raw fish sliced thinly. Includes salmon (sake), tuna (maguro), and yellowtail (hamachi). Served with a side of sea urchin (uni) over a bed of alfalfa sprouts, topped with black caviar.
Each main entree comes with a set of sauteed vegetables, cold dressed squid, steamed xiaolongbao, rice, and a bowl of traditional black chicken soup.
I was quite surprised to see black chicken soup. It’s a quite common Chinese healing soup that is usually accompanied by various complementary Chinese herbs and it more nutritious with less fat content. The chicken is completely black, from its skin down to even its bones. The meat is a greyish color. You get a plate of fruit and Taiwanese mochi at the end of the meal.
Thank you Third Grand Uncle for the delicious meal and fine dining. I enjoyed this family luncheon very much.
Unfortunately, I was not able to get the official titles of the main entrees. The manager informed me that this restaurant is restricted to Silk Club members. Special note: The Silks Club is a private club located on the top floor of the hotel, consisting of a lounge and two restaurants for the exclusive use of hotel guests and club members.
