Signature Dishes
Almond Tea
Rich, smooth, and somewhat thick; not overly sweet and without the usual sharp almond note; the sesame and lavender flavors pair naturally.
Almond Tofu
The original is silky with a light almond aroma; the matcha aroma is pronounced and the red beans are sweet without being cloying, while the pineapple version is smooth and dense; the sesame flavor may overpower the almond.
Youtiao
Hot almond tea pairs deliciously with youtiao; youtiao and shaobing also pair well together.
Dried Tofu
The dried tofu is aromatic; chili adds a savory, fragrant flavor, with a gentle interior texture.
