Signature Dishes
Truffle Baihua Stinky Tofu
The tofu is juicy, wrapped in plant-based meat and served with sesame sauce; dipping adds flavor, while the exterior ranges from crisp and gentle to somewhat dry and firm.
Peeled Chili Radish Cake
The exterior is lightly crisp or crisp outside and substantial inside; peeled chili with kumquat and sauce brings a savory, sweet-tart balance.
Basil Pesto Mushroom Zucchini Noodles
The basil aroma is pronounced and pine nuts add extra fragrance, but the dish is oily overall and the pasta itself is ordinary; whether it suits you depends on your tolerance for oiliness.
Spicy Tomato Cream Wontons
Silky wrappers and a full filling; tangy tomato and spicy mala aromas blend well, creating layered flavor without feeling heavy.
Porcini Wild Mushroom Risotto
Rich porcini aroma with a light cheesy creaminess; the risotto is on the wet side, with moderately firm rice, though it may not suit those who prefer a pronounced al dente center.
