Some notable mentions of his favourites include strawberries, Nam Shui pear, multigrain and nuts Florentine, crispy Enoki mushrooms, Shimeiji tempura in rock sugar honey glaze and abalone slices topped off with Ikura roe.

For those who prefer the classic Yu Sheng or other options can take a look at their Salmon Yu Sheng, Tuna Yu Sheng and Abalone Yu Sheng.
