The large, almost banquet-like room was largely empty for a late lunch. Cucumber with salt and garlic (Y6) was a refreshing starter; hong shao rou (twice-cooked pork in a sweet red sauce; Y28), here described as braised pork in Northern-flavored style, was exceptionally tender.

I remember that cucumber salad at Xiao Wang's - my favorite part of what was a not so exciting meal.
