Signature Dishes
Rice Cake
The grains are distinct and not sticky; it comes with braised pork, meat floss, peanuts, and pickled vegetables. If the first bite feels firm, soaking it in the sauce makes the texture just right.
Sishen Soup
The intestines and stomach are cleanly prepared, tender, and springy; the broth is smooth. There is not much barley, and the mixed soup can sometimes feel light on ingredients.
Braised Duck Egg
Well-seasoned and fragrant; a useful add-on when a small bowl of rice cake feels insufficient.
Mixed Fish Skin Soup
Both the fish skin and fish meat are fresh, and the broth is smooth; the spicy bean paste is self-serve.
