Signature Dishes

  • Cuttlefish sausage

    It can be impressive, but may also lack aroma and taste fairly ordinary.

  • Handmade shrimp dumplings

    A past record lists 10 at NT$160; ginger and soy sauce enhance their fresh sweetness, though the dumplings are small.

  • Matsu aged-wine noodles

    The aged-wine aroma is pronounced; there is also a past record of the noodles clumping into one mass.

  • Watermelon-rind fish soup

    The fish is fresh and the soup is tasty, but one bowl is small and not inexpensive.

  • Vietnamese-style squid

    Salted cabbage brings out the squid's sweetness, though the squid portion is small.
