Signature Dishes
Leaf-Wrapped Kouzai Fritter (包葉扣仔嗲)
Sweet potato leaves wrap chives and oysters in a thin, crisp coating; juice runs out when you bite in, and eating it on site better preserves the crunch.
Fried Rice Cake (米糕)
The fried rice cake is sweet, making it an uncommon sweet-style fried snack.
Fried Tofu (炸豆腐)
The fried tofu is better eaten hot; if it cools, reheating gives it a better texture.
Bamboo Shoot Soup (筍子湯)
The bamboo shoot soup includes bamboo shoots and generous ingredients, with a fresh flavor; the soup selection changes.

What you should know
- The leaf-wrapped kouzai fritter uses sweet potato leaves around oysters and chives; juice runs out when you bite it, and the signature item may sell out early.
- Most fried items are made to order; one visit once took at least 15 minutes, and holiday crowds mean more waiting.
- Seating is outdoors, with the fryer right beside it; summer is hotter and the fryer smoke is heavy.
