Signature Dishes

  • Pork Thick Soup

    The broth is made with fish bones and comes with plenty of pork, shiitake mushrooms, and cabbage; it is not overly thick, and the pork is lightly coated.

  • Pork Soup Rice Noodles

    The broth is not very thick, with the fresh sweetness of braised cabbage and dried flounder, and a generous amount of pork; if you want less pork, order clear soup rice noodles.

  • Braised Pork Rice

    It has a sweet finish and a balanced lean-to-fat mix; the meat sauce includes fried shallots and is light yet good with rice. The fatty pieces run large, so lean-meat preferences should take note.

  • Oil Tofu

    The triangular tofu is served hot, well-seasoned, without a greasy aftertaste, and has a good texture.

  • Milkfish Belly

    A large piece is fresh and tender, with a pleasantly sweet bean-paste braising sauce, but there are many fine bones; skip it if you dislike picking bones.
