Signature Dishes

  • Penglai Pork Rib Fritters

    The fried crust is notably crisp; there is a record of some pieces having a stale-oil smell, and the cut of meat can affect the bite.

  • Crab Sticky Rice

    The crab roe is memorable; the sticky rice is chewy yet moist, so take note if you prefer distinct, separate grains.

  • Pan-Seared Pork Liver

    Q-textured and free of a gamey smell; the sauce is fairly heavy, with a teppan beef-tenderloin style.

  • White-Cut Chicken

    The meat is tender and springy, and the portion is very large; for a group, choose half a chicken based on party size.

  • Sea Urchin and Sea Cucumber Noodles

    There is a record of the sea urchin noodles requiring advance reservation; the flavor is rich and distinctly oceanic, and the price is high.
