Signature Dishes

  • Gua Bao (刈包)

    The skin is soft and bouncy, with pork belly, pickled greens, sugar powder, and peanut powder. The sugar is less sweet than expected, the peanut powder has a coarse texture, and the meat may be somewhat tough.

  • Kong Rou Rice (控肉飯)

    You can choose lean or fatty meat; the pieces are substantial. The texture can be soft and richly seasoned, but it may also be braised less tenderly.

  • Four Spirits Soup (四神湯)

    The broth can have a slow-simmered flavor, but the herbal taste, amount of ingredients, and offal texture may vary; it may feel especially hot to drink in warm weather.

  • Squid Thick Soup (魷魚羹)

    The squid is crisp and sweet, the soup is relatively less thick, and the toppings are generous.

  • Shiitake Pork Thick Soup (香菇肉羹)

    The toppings are generous and the flavor is appealing, but the starch-thickened soup may be thick and the pork pieces may be soft.
