Signature Dishes

  • Rice Cake

    The glutinous rice has distinct grains with a slight stickiness; the meat sauce is savory and fragrant without being greasy. Garlic and chili sauce can be added, and the overall flavor is on the lighter side.

  • Bonito Soup

    It can taste clean and refreshing, though some descriptions find it more full-bodied or slightly sweet; it cuts the richness of the rice cake, and dine-in servings have been refillable.

  • Braised Egg

    Made with duck eggs, it is large and well-seasoned; mixed into the rice cake, it makes the combination more flavorful.

  • Meatball

    Large, springy, and well-seasoned with a chewy bite; it can be paired with rice cake and braised egg for a meal.

  • Braised Cabbage

    The cabbage is sweet and mild with a dried-shrimp aroma; some find it thin and lacking a lingering finish.
