Signature Dishes
Sesame-Oil Pork Kidney Soup
The kidney is thick, crisp and springy, with a generous portion; on one occasion, the membrane was not fully removed and the odor was pronounced.
Clear Pork Liver Soup
A past price record listed the clear soup at NT$70; the liver is tender with a slight bite and does not easily turn hard when cooked.
Sesame-Oil Chicken Soup
Made mainly with chicken thigh, with a generous amount of tender meat; the sesame-oil aroma is rich without a strong wine flavor.
Braised Pork Rice
The meat is on the fatty side, while spicy radish can add texture; the aroma and saltiness are relatively restrained, though it may also taste salty and oily.
Braised Fried Tofu
A past record listed two pieces at NT$10; the flavor is simple and the price is affordable.
