Signature Dishes
Fermented Rice Wine Tangyuan
Served hot, it pairs thin-skinned, springy sesame tangyuan with fermented rice wine; the rice-wine aroma is pronounced, while the sesame filling is fragrant without being cloyingly sweet.
Sesame Tangyuan
Thin-skinned, tender, and springy, with a fragrant, dense sesame filling; it can also run sweet, though mildly sweet fermented rice wine can balance it.
Chilled Fermented Rice Wine Tangyuan
Crushed ice, fermented rice wine, and osmanthus sauce make the tangyuan bouncier and more refreshing; the rice wine is mildly tart and sweet, and the skins are less likely to harden when served cold.
Fermented Rice Wine Tangyuan with Egg
The egg-scented fermented rice wine soup base paired with sesame tangyuan has layered flavor and is sweet without being cloying; when taken away and cooled, it may develop an eggy smell, so this option is better suited to dine-in.
