Signature Dishes
Dogtail Chicken Soup
The broth is lightly sweet, pleasantly sweet, and not heavy, with a faint ginseng note; there is plenty of chicken, and fermented tofu or dipping sauce can add flavor.
Mint Chicken
Pairing the chicken with mint leaves stuffed inside the cavity gives it character; the meat may not stay moist, while the skin can be crisp like roast chicken.
Bitter Tea Oil Chicken
Distinctive in flavor and suitable with rice; it is one of the three chicken dishes.
Fiddlehead Fern
Tender, with no coarse fibers; the quick-stir-fry seasoning is traditional and authentic.
Douhua
The complimentary douhua served after the meal is soft and silky, with a traditional, nostalgic style.
