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.
