Signature Dishes

  • Braised Pork Rice

    About a 70/30 fat-to-lean ratio: the fatty meat melts in the mouth while the lean meat retains texture; the slightly sweet braising sauce comes with distinct grains of rice, though it may taste salty.

  • Braised Pork Chop

    The limited braised pork chop is lightly fried before braising: crisp on the outside with a springy, chewy bite; generous in size, with a sweet-and-sour side to cut the richness.

  • Red-braised Pork Belly

    A lightly charred, clean, non-greasy profile; red-braised pork belly has been seen at NT$200 per serving.

  • Fried Soft-centered Egg

    Crispy outside with a molten center, a boost for braised pork rice; previously seen at NT$35 per egg.

  • Braised Qianzeng Doujian

    Softer than su ji with a hint of sesame oil; it is also flavorful but can feel fairly ordinary.
