Signature Dishes
Braised-pork noodles
The wide, flat noodles are steamed before mixing and tend to be soft; the braised-pork sauce and fried shallot add aroma, with a springier texture also noted.
Squid meat thick soup
The small bowl is generously filled; the soup is slightly sweet with a light starch thickening and comes with bamboo shoots, daikon, and meatballs. The meat cake is firm and springy; if you dislike its flavor, you can choose squid-only thick soup instead.
Braised tofu
The braising sauce is fragrant without being heavy, with a balanced savory saltiness; one of the market's side-dish options.
Sausage
High in lean meat and firm in texture, becoming more fragrant as you chew; it can be combined with la-zi noodles and squid meat thick soup as the Four Treasures set.
Fried-shallot meatball soup
The fried-shallot aroma is pronounced and the meatballs are firm; there has also been an instance of broth that was watery and light.
