Signature Dishes
Syuejia pesticide-free shrimp + sambal + peeled chili
The thin noodles have just-right spring, and the shrimp is fresh and sweet. Savory sambal and mildly spicy peeled chili lead into a rich noodle soup when shrimp broth is added, without feeling greasy.
Char-grilled beef cheek + Yunlin black garlic + Hong Kong-style sour scallion
The beef cheek is braised until tender, then char-grilled for pronounced beef and toasted-fat aromas. Black garlic adds sweetness and sour scallion lifts the flavor; the overall profile is rich and complex, while the black garlic flavor is not prominent.
Donut shrimp cake + sriracha + Thai green tea
Small in shape with shrimp inside; the shrimp cake is crisp. Sriracha and Thai green tea sauce add a tangy, spicy edge, with a Southeast Asian lemon-leaf aroma.
Kaya semifrozen cake + salted egg yolk + wheel bread
The kaya semifrozen cake has a rich coconut aroma, while salted egg yolk creates a sweet-savory balance and a hot-cold contrast. Served with wheel bread, the overall portion is small and priced on the high side.
