Signature Dishes
Mixed Vermicelli
Intestines, oysters, and pork pieces come together in one bowl, with generous toppings; the base is lightly sweet, and you can add garlic paste, black vinegar, and chili yourself.
Intestines
Well-braised with a chewy bite; each bite carries the braising aroma, with no obvious gaminess.
Oysters
Large and fresh; some bowls have had smaller portions and felt less impressive.
Soup Dumplings
Thin wrappers, plenty of soup, and a firm filling; some have had less soup and tasted ordinary.
