Signature Dishes
Garlic Baked Mantou
Rich garlic flavor with garlic pieces and cheese; the mildly spicy version has cumin and a gentle kick. The mantou itself may be soft and chewy, or simply ordinary and not crisp.
Hua Tian Baked Mantou
The flavors can be split; the milk-butter spread is moist and soft rather than crisp.
Salted Egg Pork Stir-fried Instant Noodles
A generous portion with plenty of ingredients and a distinctive salted-egg-yolk golden-sand texture; the set comes with soup and a drink for an additional NT$15.
A-Zhu Yi Noodles
The noodles have just-right firmness and layered seasoning; the yi-noodle texture may suit you better than instant noodles, though the overall flavor can be light.
