A plate of four baked potatoes, joined together by strands of their skin and filled with creamy avocado or prawns, is served on white plate decorated with cobblestones, which seems to conjure up memories of camping trips.

You would expect this attention to detail to come at a price, but diners at Hulu can expect to grab a great meal for around 100 yuan ($16).

And there's plenty of choice on the menu too. A Caesar salad will set you back 58 yuan and comes with four choices of side dishes: roast chicken leg for 18 yuan, salmon or foie gras for 50 yuan, and beef steak for 65 yuan. As delicious as this sounds, the more health-conscious diners among us should take note that no actual quantities are stated on the menu, which won't help those counting the calories.

And regulars at TRB's fine dining restaurants might find some familiar dishes at Hulu.

According to dining review website Meituan-Dianping, the raw spicy salmon with capers, horseradish cream and lemon, has been ranked as one of the most popular dishes in both of the restaurants. It has now been introduced to the diner, the third location you can enjoy the delicacy. And Hulu's sea urchin dish also shares the same plating as the dish found in the other eateries, where it's now paired with avocado instead of the more pricey caviar.
