Signature Dishes

  • Signature Rice Cake

    The surface is fried to a golden, crisp crust while the bottom stays soft; a small amount of minced-pork gravy adds moisture. Chili adds another layer, and egg is ordered separately.

  • Rice Cake in Thick Soup

    Pan-fried rice cake is placed in a traditional-style minced-pork thick soup, which makes it smoother and more infused. The sweetness may be on the sweet side, though it may also be not very sweet; the soup contains enoki mushrooms and minced meat.

  • Stir-Fried Rice Cake

    It comes with a large amount of bean sprouts and an iron-griddle-style profile; there may be a lot of black pepper, and with the sauce it may become saltier as you eat.

  • Aromatic Braised Cartilage Rice

    The cartilage is braised until exceptionally tender and well seasoned; mix in the soft-boiled egg, then add chili sauce for more flavor layering.
