Signature Dishes
Mao Zedong Braised Pork with Gua Bao
The pork is balanced between lean and fatty, with a sweet-and-savoury sauce that the gua bao absorbs; the skin is springy and chewy, and the dish is bold but not greasy.
Angelica and Taiwanese Basil Sausage
Angelica and basil bring herbal, medicinal aromas; the sausage leans traditionally sweet, with a firm, non-greasy texture.
Henan Steamed Noodles
The fresh noodles are steamed before being stir-fried and remain chewy after absorbing the sauce; they may also be softer, milder, and less wok-scented.
Salted Egg Yolk Prawns
The whole prawn is coated in salted egg yolk; the middle is shelled and the meat is springy. The shell is crisp enough to eat, with a savoury, full flavour.
