Signature Dishes

  • Jiangbao Rice Ball

    A combination of cheese, a soft-cooked egg, youtiao, and pork floss; sweet-savory and not dry, but the cheese stretch and end-of-bite richness can vary.

  • Original Egg Pancake

    Crisp outside and tender inside, with a dry-griddled feel; it may also be oilier and leave little overall impression.

  • Pork Chop Egg Pancake

    Cabbage and a seasoned, thicker-than-usual pork chop paired with a crisp egg-pancake wrapper.

  • Egg Shaobing

    The flatbread is slightly thick, crisp on the outside, and not dry or hard inside.

  • Savory Soy Milk

    It comes with the expected toppings and has an authentic flavor; the acidity may run high, and it may also be watery.
