Signature Dishes
Agei
The tofu pouch has a beany aroma, and the vermicelli stays springy after soaking up the sauce; the sauce may taste salty or sweet, and the Agei can occasionally arrive broken.
Fish-ball soup
The broth can be clean and sweet, but may also be salty; the fish-ball texture ranges from crisp and springy to firm.
Meat bun
It can feel substantial, but may also have thick dough, little filling, or ordinary seasoning, so the experience can vary.
