Signature Dishes

  • Ginger chicken

    The silkie chicken thigh tends to be tender; the broth can be rich and sweet-savory, mildly spicy, or sweet, and the ginger flavor may need longer cooking to come through.

  • Wheat vermicelli

    It can be eaten with chili sauce; the flavor can range from pleasant to somewhat salty, while the scallion oil may be nearly absent and the taste may be relatively light.

  • Duck blood cake

    Silky, tender, and dense, with no graininess; it can be a must-order pairing with the main hot pot.

  • Beef meatball

    Chewy and flavorful, but it may have a slight gamy note; a past purchase was about NT$24 per piece.
