A crispy-crunchy take on the sweet and sour classic, this standout dish uses premium free-range chicken, tossed in a glaze of aged black vinegar and a whisper of sweetness from vibrant dragon fruit. The result? A dish that’s tangy, bold, and perfectly balanced. Pair it with a side of egg noddles and you’re golden. Oh, and did we mention it’s served 73 floors high? The views are just as impressive as the food.
