Braised first, then fried, this Dongshan duck has a crisp, braised-savory profile; queues often mean a wait.

Signature Dishes

  • Duck head with neck

    A buttery aroma meets malt sweetness and an oily aroma; meaty portions fry up fragrant, tender, and not dry, though the duck head has also been burnt and bitter or flavorless at times.

  • Rice sausage

    Fried once, cut, and fried again; crisp and fragrant with a chewy bite.

  • Pork blood cake

    It is listed among the three must-try items, but it may also be dry.

  • Flower tofu

    Fried until crisp and fragrant; it is hard to find elsewhere.
