Crispy Salmon Skin ‘Lo Hei’ 酥炸龙袍捞起 | $118 – large
(Dine-in and takeaway at Min Jiang)
An ideal choice for those who eschew raw fish, this work of art
by Master Chef Chan Hwan Kee (曾繁基) of Min Jiang is every
bit as delightful, with an abundance of fresh, crunchy vegetables
such as sweet romaine hearts, yellow frisée, wild arugula, baby
radish, purple cabbage, carrots as well as orange peel and
jellyfish, along with the star – homemade crispy salmon skin.
Enhancing the dish with an addictive crunch, these tasty gems
are complemented by fragrant ‘pok chui’ (crispy golden ‘pillows’),
ground peanuts, sesame seeds and pine nuts. Adding to the visual feast is a hand drawn adorable monkey
grasping a mandarin orange, as an ode to the Year of the Monkey. A homemade tangy-sweet plum-based
sauce is used to complete the creation.

Pretty julienne slices of mango, rock melon, Japanese
cucumber, and strawberries surround a generous portion of
romaine, mixed lettuce, baby radish, carrot and radish strips.
Delectable crisp bacon strips as well as deep-fried yam and
potato slivers add an earthy depth of flavour while a dressing made with plum sauce, mixed fruits and white
truffle oil lends uniqueness to the dish – especially while tossing – as the incomparable fragrance wafts
over the table.

(Dine-in only at Min Jiang)
Replacing the raw fish in this dish are compressed watermelon slices with a texture and deep red colour

potato crisps for contrasting flavour and texture. The dish is completed with mesclun greens, shredded red
and white carrots, flying fish roe, ‘wasabi ebiko’ (prawn roe), seaweed, French chives, Buddha’s hand citron,
jellyfish, pomelo as well as chef’s secret sweet sauce and lime juice.

Page 2 of 8 | #goodwoodparkhotel
‘release’ the fortune by breaking open the salt crust with a mallet (Chef recommends adding in a sprightly

meantime, Australian 8-head abalones, sea cucumber,
dried oysters, dried scallops, flower mushrooms, ‘fa cai’
(black moss) and Tianjin cabbage are cooked separately.
