starters
Begin your meal with delicate dim sum offerings that showcase expert craftsmanship. The Blue Crab and Black Truffle Xiao Long Bao combines sweet crab meat with the earthy aroma of black truffle wrapped in silky dumpling skin. For a savory bite, the Pork and Spring Onion Pot Stickers deliver a classic balance of juicy pork and fresh scallions encased in perfectly crisped skin.
mains
Nan Bei’s main courses highlight premium ingredients and traditional techniques. Savor the iconic Peking Duck with its famously crispy skin, served with delicate pancakes, fresh cucumber, leeks, and sweet bean sauce—an essential dish to book in advance. For a luxurious taste, the Braised Chicken with Abalone pairs tender chicken with succulent abalone, exemplifying southern Chinese indulgence.
Other standout mains include the Honey-Glazed BBQ Kurobuta Pork, bursting with sweet and smoky flavors, and the Abalone Rice with Truffle, where earthy truffle notes elevate tender abalone over fragrant rice soaked in abalone sauce. For lighter options, try the Spinach Leaves with Sesame and Rice Vinegar Sauce, or Hand-Cut Fresh Noodles tossed in creamy sesame sauce with crunchy peanuts and mixed Chinese vegetables. Noodle lovers will also enjoy the fiery Shanxi Hot Oil Noodles, seasoned with garlic and chili for a bold kick.
desserts
Conclude your meal with delicate, artfully crafted desserts that balance sweetness and texture. The Mango and Pomelo Tapioca Pearls offer a refreshing tropical finish combining juicy mango, zesty pomelo, chewy tapioca pearls, and creamy coconut milk. For a richer treat, the Sesame Balls with Hazelnut and Cocoa Filling provide a delightful crunch and indulgent chocolate-hazelnut flavor.
