Offered for a limited time (now until January 31), Golden Leaf will provide guests with an eight-course menu centered around Two Moons [specialty gin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-the-pour). According to the restaurant, the gin has been used to elevate the taste profiles of each dish -- an unusual but exciting method not common to traditional Chinese cooking. Standout dishes include a sliced drunken chicken marinated in Two Moons Dry Gin, stuffed and sautéed prawns featuring a Dry Gin fragrance and yuzu honey, and sautéed pork infused with Two Moons’ Calamansi Gin.
