Signature Dishes
Mushroom meat thick-soup noodles
Served with thin yellow noodles on a plate; the soup is thick and slightly sweet, with firm meat pieces. The portion is small.
Braised pork rice
The fatty portion has a springy bite and the lean meat is tender, not dry. The rice is soft and the savory-salty braising sauce goes well with it; the balance of fat to lean meat and how fully it is braised can vary.
Braised egg
Made with duck egg, it is soft and velvety, and works well as a braised side dish.
Pork trotter rice
The pork trotter is springy, not overly salty, with a slight porky flavor.
