Signature Dishes
Red-braised pork
Rich in fat but very tender, almost melting in the mouth; it can also be crisp and well seasoned without being dry. If you prefer an even fat-to-lean balance, note the higher fat ratio.
Shiitake meat congee
Light yet flavorful, with shiitake and scallion-oil aromas; the meat-congee version includes meat-geng, and the flavor may come across as quite light.
Oyster omelet
The oysters can be sweet and large; it uses less batter and has less chew, with a small portion and mildly sweet sauce, but it may also come across as ordinary or not especially fresh.
Fried tofu
Crisp outside and tender inside, served with kimchi, and very hot when freshly fried; one serving is small.
