Signature Dishes

  • Braised pork rice

    The braised pork is savory, fragrant, and tender; the fatty meat can melt in the mouth with a sticky, gelatinous texture, but it can also feel oily and slightly heavy. The rice-to-meat ratio affects the texture.

  • Dry yi mein

    The dry noodles are topped with braised pork, fried shallots, and soy sauce paste, with a strong garlic flavor; the thin yi mein stays springy and chewy rather than overly soft. If the sauce paste is not mixed evenly, it may taste too salty.

  • Assorted soup

    A combination of pork liver, pig intestine, and lean pork in a light, refreshing broth; it has also been considered fairly ordinary. There has been an instance of extra soup being provided free of charge when there was not enough.

  • Lean pork

    Fresh pork collar with its connective tissue properly trimmed stays tender whether cooked in soup or simply blanched; it can also be enjoyed with a springy, sweet texture.

  • Braised tofu

    Braised until thoroughly seasoned, it is tender with a pronounced soy sauce flavor; there has been a recorded instance of it selling out before 12:30 p.m.
