Signature Dishes
Braised pork rice
The fatty pork is soft and glutinous, even melting in the mouth; lean meat varies from pleasantly tender to slightly or noticeably dry.
Pork trotter rice
The pork trotter is especially tender from braising and can be pulled apart with chopsticks.
Preserved-radish omelet
The preserved radish is not overly salty and the dish is generally good, though it can also be quite savory.
Bamboo shoots
It can be somewhat salty; paired with pickled mustard greens, bamboo shoots, and white rice, the combination works well.
