A 70-year-old shop serving ba-wan, taro cake, and soups; its ba-wan black sauce leans sweet-savory, and lunch often brings a queue.

Signature Dishes

  • Ba-wan

    The outer skin is described as both bouncy and somewhat soft; the filling includes lean pork, bamboo shoots, shiitake, and chestnut, while the black sauce is sweet-savory with a pronounced flavor.

  • Taro cake

    Bouncy and moist, with pieces of taro; some find the taro sparse and its aroma subtle, while the black sauce tastes sweet-savory.

  • Sishen soup

    The milky broth is described as both mild and sweet; the pork intestine is clean and thoroughly braised, though some find the flavor fairly ordinary.
