Signature Dishes
Sesame-oil noodles
The sesame aroma stands out; the portion is medium, and it pairs well with bak kut teh.
Shiquan Dabu Chicken Soup
The broth is light and comes with one tender native-chicken leg; it can also taste bitter and take getting used to.
Fo-Ti Pork Ribs
The ribs themselves are tasty but not plentiful; the broth is bitter and may not suit everyone.
Si Wu Herbal Chicken
The herbal flavor is rich and the texture substantial; the chicken is tender and easy to eat.
Bak Kut Teh Soup Bowl
The rich broth pairs well with noodles; the portion is ordinary, and the broth may be slightly salty.
