When we speak of authentic we mean that the Chefs at LiLi are in fact from Hong Kong where they have been trained by the Peninsula to provide the dishes that signify what the restaurant is all about. The menu served was fresh, savoury and delightful starting off with the delectable elevated pieces of dim-sum. The fish was certainly a favourite cooked in the typical Canto style - steamed and laying in a sufficient amount of soya sauce but cooked expertly so much so that you know you're eating a highly skilled prepped dish that any local would normally have as a home-cooked staple. The twist came in the form of the Kimchi fried rice - uncommon to a Canto's appetite but common enough in that it was stir fried to perfection. Without being too spicy, this kept the menu for an interesting turn of events.
