Start off your dinner with Mixed Chou Chou Cold Cuts. Savor the salted sliced duck lying on a bed of salted beancurd and sprinkled with sesame seeds, the salted pig tongue and the salted squid. Do not be confused when Malou Pitao, Top Court's very helpful manager, suggests you try the very popular Roasted Cake with Raddish. It is an appetizer even if it is listed in the menu as a Huay Yang dessert. The Roasted Cake with Raddish is like an empanada.
Flaky pastry is filled with grated radish and radish paste.
The Taiwanese specialties on the menu are polunchay soup, taoso lapu-lapu and double sesame roasted cake. Fresh lapu-lapu is steamed and smothered with crispy taoso. Spoon the taoso and fish drippings onto your steamed rice, and experience the contrast in textures as well as the flavors of ginger, onion, chili as they blend in your mouth when you bite into the fish and taoso. There must be secrets in the preparation of this lapu-lapu dish. You may try to guess what these secrets are, but they will remain Top Court's secrets.
