Signature Dishes
Glutinous rice sausage
The pork casing is carefully prepared and chewy at the end; the rice has shrimp and soy-sauce aromas, though it has also been found a little wet and soft.
Braised pork intestine head
Its texture is described as both springy and tender, with a hint of star anise and no excessive salt; there was once a takeout experience where the portion and price felt mismatched.
Rice vermicelli soup
Some find the rice vermicelli soup carefully cooked; others find the vermicelli overcooked.
