Signature Dishes

  • Cao zai guo

    The cake skin is thick, soft, and chewy with a light mugwort aroma; the red bean filling is not overly sweet, while the preserved-radish-and-pork filling is savory and flavorful.

  • Radish-shred vegetable bun

    The skin is soft and chewy with a generous filling; the radish tastes lightly sweet and its natural flavor stands out. It may also become moist and soft when the filling releases water, and perceptions of saltiness vary.

  • Suan cai vegetable bun

    The suan cai is soft and lightly seasoned, without sweet, sour, or spicy notes; the filling can also be generous.

  • Taro cake

    The ingredients are substantial; the seasoning may be light, with a “WOW” surprise on one occasion.
