Signature Dishes

  • Wankueh (savory rice cake)

    The rice cake is soft with a slight rice texture, filled with lean pork, egg, and shiitake; there have also been occasions when the portion was smaller and the shiitake was missing. Fried shallot and braised-pork aromas stand out, while soy paste and garlic paste can be added to taste.

  • Rou geng (meat thick soup)

    The meat is firm, and the soup is neither too sweet nor too thick; the fish flavor can be stronger and the portion can be small.

What you should know

  • At one point, a market water and power outage meant wankueh and rou geng were available only for takeaway.
  • Wankueh has previously sold out before closing time.
  • Traffic is busy around the new Pingdeng Road location; parking farther out and walking is more convenient.
