Signature Dishes
Pork Belly Rice
The pork belly balances fat and lean meat and is tender enough to melt in the mouth; the braising sauce is sweet-salty, though there can be instances where it tastes light and is served sparingly.
Braised Pork Rice
The pork is on the fatty side with a thick gelatinous texture and a dense, almost melt-in-the-mouth bite; it is mildly sweet and well-balanced overall, but the meat portion with the rice may be small.
Marlin Floss Rice
Fish floss mixed with braised pork rice; the sauce soaks into the grains, bringing a savory, fragrant fish flavor.
Pan-Fried Milkfish Belly
The fish belly is thick and the pan-fried skin is crisp; the meat is not dry and has little fishiness, but the oiliness is noticeable and fine belly bones may not be fully removed.
Spanish Mackerel Thick Soup
The thick soup is smooth and lightly thickened, and the fish is delicate and not fishy; the fried coating may be thick, and it may have a slight buttery flavor.
