Signature Dishes
Hand-cut braised pork rice
Hand-cut pork pieces have a balanced lean-to-fat ratio and a noticeable gelatinous texture; the braised pork can taste salty or sweet, while the rice ranges from translucent and chewy to dry or soft and sticky.
Mutton slice soup
The mutton portion is generous, with texture ranging from tender to somewhat tough; the broth carries angelica and herbal notes, with the intensity varying.
Mutton bone soup
The broth is warm and gently sweet, with plenty of meat and marrow to suck; the marrow aroma may not meet expectations.
Dry noodles
The noodles are springy, tossed with braised-pork sauce and bean sprouts; a little chili oil brings out the flavor, though the sauce may be salty.
