Signature Dishes
Dry Noodles
The noodles have balanced firmness and are not overly soft; they carry a light pork-lard aroma, while the plain version is mild and can be lifted with black vinegar and chili.
Fish Ball Soup
The fish balls are springy with savory filling; the broth has an old-school character and may carry a shrimp-like note.
Egg-Topped Fish Ball Soup
The yolk is soft enough to run, the broth carries a shrimp-like note, and mixing it into the dry noodles adds another layer of flavor.
