Signature Dishes

  • Grass carp soup

    The broth is fresh and sweet, and the fish is firm and springy; however, it has many bones, so take care while eating.

  • Pan-fried milkfish intestines

    Fragrant, crisp, and tender, with little fishiness and no strong oily aftertaste; the portion is generous, but one person may find it rich toward the end.

  • Pan-fried grass carp liver

    The liver has a bitter edge, with a crisp exterior and moist interior; it is generously salted with plenty of scallion and garlic, giving it varied texture.

  • Oyster egg

    The oysters are large or plump, paired with scallion fragrance and a soft, tender egg wrap; there has also been an occasion when the oysters were overcooked and shrank.

Value verdict
One recorded NT$190 meal left the diner only about six-tenths full; it is more for savoring than filling up.
Peak hours
After 6:30 a.m., one recorded visit involved about 20 minutes for grass carp and over 10 minutes for milkfish.
