If you like Sweet & Sour Pork, you probably will like Guo Bao Pork too. It is a variant of Sweet & Sour Pork originating from Northeastern China. Compared to Sweet & Sour Pork, Guo Bao Pork uses bigger pieces of meat coated with a different Sweet & Sour Sauce made of sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, onion and garlic. Deep fried, the meat has a golden crust thanks to the caramelization of the sauce. It is crispy and tender at the same time, melting in your mouth into sweet and savory juice. Next time when you are at East Kitchen, try Guo Bao Pork instead of Sweet & Sour Pork for a change. Yum!

Dim Sum is one of the most unique offerings from Chinese cuisine. Served as brunch, a Dim Sum meal can start as early as 5am and last until mid-afternoon. A cart of bamboo steamers is pushed to customers round after round for customers to order from. Each steamer contains a dish in a snack-sized portion. Within a meal, 20 or more dishes can be consumed. The food must be accompanied by tea, which is why Dim Sum is also called “Yum Cha” (drinking tea) by the native Cantonese. Since the initial “one pot of tea and two steamers" in the 10th Century, over a thousand Dim Sum dishes have been developed. Some well-known ones include Steamed Prawn Dumplings (Har-Gow), Steamed Pork Dumplings (Shu Mai), Steamed Shanghai Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao), Steamed BBQ Pork Bun (Char-Sui Bao), Steamed Molten Salted Egg Custard Bun (Liu Sha Bao), and many more. You can find some of these popular Dim Sum dishes at East Kitchen. We invite you to come ‘drink tea’!

One of the most-recognised Chinese dishes, Beijing Duck used to be the star of the dining table in the Chinese imperial court for hundreds of years. Juicy and crispy duck skin, tender duck meat, slices of spring onion and cucumber, and a dab of hoisin sauce all wrapped in a paper-thin pancake like a mini-burrito. The duck rack is also served deep-fried with spicy chili salt or as soup. Now from the imperial dining table to East Kitchen’s spotlight of the week: Beijing Duck for a traditional 2-course meal. Visit us and try this imperial delicacy today!
