The braised pork knuckle rice is the focus; the dining area is bright, and the overall flavors run bold.

Signature Dishes

  • Pork Knuckle Rice

    The skin is soft and bouncy and well-braised; the lean meat can be slightly dry and firm. The small-dried-fish chili can be adjusted, but it is very spicy; cilantro has been added without prior notice on at least one occasion.

  • Braised Pork Intestines

    Well-braised and tender; the small-intestine proportion is high, so it has less chew and layering, and when fattier it may feel greasy toward the end.

  • Braised Cabbage

    The cabbage is well-braised and generously portioned, with a straightforward profile; the flavor runs bold and it works well as a side to cut through the richness.
