Signature Dishes
Caozai guo (grass cake)
The skin is lightly sweet, with textures ranging from bouncy and soft-chewy to soft and sticky; the preserved-radish/radish-shred filling may have shrimp or black-pepper aromas, while the sweetness and saltiness can run high.
Nine-layer cake
Sweet and savory in one cake: the brown part is brown sugar, while the white part carries shrimp-and-scallion-oil or red-onion-pork aromas; it is soft and bouncy, and the flavors work well together.
Red-bean-paste grass cake
The red bean paste is dense and smooth with no bean skins; beyond the sweetness, it also has a sweet-savory note.
