Signature Dishes

  • Sesame-Oil Chicken Soup

    Chicken thigh and a rich broth bring out a distinct rice-wine aroma; the rice-wine flavor may be heavy and slightly bitter, and some pieces of chicken may be somewhat tough.

  • Sesame-Oil Noodles

    The noodles are not mushy and pair well with the sesame-oil soup; on their own they may taste salty, but adding a little sesame-oil kidney soup makes them better.

  • Sesame-Oil Kidney Soup

    The kidney is cooked just right and tender; any soup can add pork liver for NT$20.
