Given Cantonese cuisine’s importance to the Chinese culinary tradition, Ya Ge was inspired to concoct two, slow-cooked double-boiled soups steeped in nutrition and flavour. The former is where pork ribs find matrimonial bliss with starfruits and winter wheat in a soup with clean, complex flavours. The latter, on the other hand, combines the qualities of ingredients such as chicken, morel mushrooms, dendrobium stems to yield a delicious soup that will feel like a warm hug.
