Signature Dishes
Stir-fried snail meat
It can be softly chewy, springy, or firm; it is stir-fried with garlic and Thai basil, and there have also been instances of an insufficiently reduced sauce and pronounced saltiness.
Drunken goose
Drunken goose works with rice and drinks, and is one of the shop's key dishes.
Thai basil omelet
This simple dish shows careful cooking and pairs well with beer; it can also be on the oily side.
Wild-vegetable soup
The broth is lightly sweet and refreshing, and goes well with several stir-fried dishes; it was once sold out during Lunar New Year.
