Signature Dishes
Chicken Rice
The house-recipe version has soft, sticky rice with a fragrant rice aroma and tender chicken; the petite version is half-sized and comes with chrysanthemum-cut radish and a pork liver roll.
Steamed Stinky Tofu
Mixed with minced meat, dried shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, and egg mixture, then topped with preserved mustard greens and edamame; it smells stinky but does not taste that way, with a finely crumbled, juicy texture.
Salt-Poached Pork Tongue
The texture is delicate and tender; hot oil brings out the aroma of scallion whites, chili, and garlic, adding a grandmotherly home-cooked flavor.
Pacific Saury
The tomato-sauce version can be eaten with the bones, which have softened; the cold bone-softened version still retains a firm texture without becoming overly loose.
Lamb with Pickled Cabbage
The lamb is tender without being greasy, the pickled cabbage stays crisp, the sourness and saltiness are balanced, and Sichuan peppercorns add flavor.
