Signature Dishes
Nine-layer rice cake (九層粿)
The cake has a fine, dense texture with a soft, springy bite; topped with fried shallots and sauce, it carries a rice aroma and a sweet-salty flavor. It may also arrive cool, with sauce that is somewhat salty and oily.
Assorted Soup
The soup is generously filled with ingredients such as bamboo-shoot slices, tofu, meatballs, and gluten skin, making it substantial.
Sticky Rice Cake
The glutinous rice is soft and sticky, with a pronounced rice aroma and distinct grains; it can also feel somewhat soft and mushy.
Dry Noodles
It comes without excess broth and has an easy-to-enjoy flavor.
Pork Geng
The pork-geng noodles have an old-fashioned flavor, and chili brings out the taste; the pork geng itself has an easy-to-enjoy flavor.
