Li Family Restaurant

Li Family Restaurant. The restaurant's imperial dishes are cooked and served by the Li family in a cozy, informal atmosphere. Professor Li set up the restaurant in 1985,making use of recipes handed down from her great-grandfather, once a senior courtier in the Security Office in Qing Dynasty. The tiny restaurant was once in such demand that you had to book a table weeks in advance. Reservations is very much essential. No credit cards accepted.

Professor Li said that Li Family Dishes were not an inheritance from ancestors but the creation of the present family. Li's greatgrandfather was a senior courtier in the Security Office in Qing Dynasty (1864 -1911) supervising the safety of both the inner court and the daily food served for the emperor and imperial family members. All daily cartes from the imperial kitchen, with details of the dish names, main condiments, matching seasonings and the way of making, should be first examined and approved by the Security Office. Over the years, the greatgrandfather of professor Li bore most in his mind and recorded it on paper during his later life. Professor Li was born to be gourmet and was in the lucky position to be able to read those words from his greatgrandfather and try his initial skill in the kitchen from his childhood.
