Signature Dishes

  • Dry-Fried Swamp Eel Noodles

    The dry-fried version has concentrated aromas and clear wok hei, with a crisp bite from the eel; it can sometimes be less dry, and the noodles may also be soft.

  • Starch-Thickened Swamp Eel Noodles

    The starch-thickened version leans sweet in a southern Taiwanese style, with a pronounced pepper aroma and sauce-absorbing noodles; the noodles may be soft and have less chew.
