Qiqiaoban
A selection of small bites is deconstructed and reassembled, spanning eight flavors: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, umami, spicy, numbing, and fragrant.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall–inspired Steamed Egg
Steamed egg forms the base, layered with bonito, dried scallop, ham essence, sea cucumber, and shiitake, finished with dry-braising for a substantial yet delicate mouthfeel.
Tempura Fish Fillet with Chopped Chili
Wrapped in shiso and deep-fried, it is crisp outside and tender inside, with a sorghum-spirit and laba-garlic tangy sauce and a mild chopped-chili heat.
Lanzhou Beef Noodles
The broth is full-bodied; the beef may come across as bland, while the noodles may be slightly sticky.
