Signature Dishes
Pepper bun
The filling is meaty and generous, with pronounced pepper and scallion aromas; the crust is crisp, and a heavier pepper seasoning can be mildly spicy. Half a bun is filling.
Savory flaky pastry
Its old-dough crust is flaky, with clear scallion and white-sesame aromas; savory without feeling greasy, still enjoyable when cool; the piece is small.
Red bean shaobing
The red bean paste is smooth and not cloying, pairing well with the crisp pastry; it stays crisp when cool.
Sesame sugar pastry
It has a rich sesame aroma and a crisp, multilayered crust; sweetness ranges from moderate to rather sweet, and the crust may feel thick and dry.
