Prawns in Orange & Mayonnaise Sauce - How to create Dai Pai Dong Flavour

“Salad pork chops” and “salad shrimp balls” are popular dishes at Hong Kong-style dai pai dongs. 


Originally, the first person to introduce salad dressing into dishes was a Hong Kong chef who served at the Presidential Palace in the Philippines. Both the President and the First Lady praised the deliciousness after tasting it. Later, this chef brought the recipe back to Hong Kong and opened a restaurant. Gradually, this dish with salad dressing became well-known, and today, it has become a famous salad dish widely recognized on the streets.


In addition to salad dressing, condensed milk is also an indispensable ingredient in salad sauce. This time, I added fresh navel orange juice to make the salad dressing even more refreshing and sweet.

In making salad dressing, condensed milk is crucial alongside salad sauce/mayonnaise. Condensed milk not only balances the acidity of the salad sauce but also enhances its richness and smoothness, making it easier to achieve a thickened sauce effect. This time, Big Boy has also added Sunkist Navel Orange juice to the dish, making this salad shrimp ball dish fresher and sweeter, perfect for appetizing in spring and summer!
