Signature Dishes
Duck Sticky Rice
Sesame oil, ginger, and rice-wine aromas are pronounced; the rice is distinct-grained and softly chewy. Duck meat ranges from tender and pleasantly chewy to slightly dry and firm, and the wine flavor may feel strong if you are sensitive to it.
Taro & Pork Rib Soup
The taro is soft and creamy, the broth is sweet, and the ribs are relatively tender, with clams and garlic; even the small bowl keeps the broth light.
Pickled Mustard Green & Pork Tripe Soup
The pork tripe is braised until tender, and the broth has the savory freshness of pickled mustard greens and clams; the mustard-green flavor may be mild or may lean sour.
Steamed Egg Soup
The bonito-based broth is savory and sweet; the steamed egg comes with mushrooms, shrimp, and clams, with generous toppings, while the egg itself may be a small portion.
