Fred must have been ravenously hungry, because he had ordered everything on Tao Heung's menu, from shrimp balls quilted with almonds ( a brilliant combination of textures) and the most scrumptious squid cakes, to pan- fried radish cakes in XO sauce, pickled vegetable and pork belly soup with beancurd strips ( the peppery broth drove a cold that had left me with runny nose and a bad temper), and the day's big surprise, eggplant with minced fish in soy sauce.
Deep-fried beancurd was very pleasant - crisp on the outside and squidgy within.
Chickpea curry, rice and peas, burritos and beans, beancurd and rice - and beans on toast.
