Signature Dishes
Glutinous-rice dumplings
The glutinous-rice wrapper is slightly sticky and stretchy, with a firm filling; the wrapper is mildly sweet, though the filling has occasionally had a slight off smell.
Wontons
Thin-skinned and smooth, with a texture distinct from the glutinous-rice dumplings; the filling is pleasant, but has occasionally had a slight off smell.
Bone meat
The portion is generous, served in whole pieces with both lean and fatty meat; there have also been isolated instances of overcooked, bland pieces or meat that was not fresh.
Mixed bone-meat soup
One bowl combines glutinous-rice dumplings, wontons, and bone meat; a large bowl has been recorded at NT$90.
