Signature Dishes
Turkey Rice
The fried shallots and chicken fat have pronounced aromas, and the rice is neither wet nor sticky; the turkey can be tender and not tough, but it can also be somewhat dry, and the sauce may be salty.
Half-Cooked Fried Egg
The yolk is half-cooked; mixing it into the rice adds richness and aroma, giving the turkey rice more depth.
Braised Tofu
The braising sauce has soaked in well and carries a slight garlic aroma; the tofu is tender and not overly salty.
Miso Soup
The miso soup can be quite good, but it may also be so light that it falls short; take note if you expect a rich soup flavor.
Bitter Melon Meatball Soup
The meatballs are firm and the broth is clear and mildly sweet; the bitter melon meatball soup may have a broth similar to the shrimp soup.
