Love and food

Okra's romance with food reaches new heights for Valentine's Day, starting with fresh sweet uni and jelly, then sashimi of Gillar-deau oyster and Wagyu beef. Handmade tofu skin and nigiri sushi taste mild; salted plum soup and New Zealand king salmon are a bit acid, but then honey miso foie gras bring you back to the sweetness. The Valentine's Day dinner (999 yuan plus 10 percent service charge) comes to a close with dark chocolate and raspberry cake, a symbol of lasting happiness.
