Signature Dishes
Shaobing with youtiao
The shaobing and youtiao are made in-house and baked/fried fresh, with an overall crisp texture; the shaobing can be crisp outside and soft inside, while the youtiao has a chewy pull inside.
Shaobing with youtiao and scallion egg
Scallion egg is tucked into the shaobing and youtiao, bringing together wheaty and savory flavors; the shaobing is crisp and the egg tender, and the thin shaobing can also have a soft-chewy texture.
