Signature Dishes
Da mian geng
The thick, round noodles range from soft and springy to very soft; the soup has a distinct alkaline aroma, with chives and fried shallots giving it a distinctive flavor.
Fried pork
The exterior can be crisp, with firm meat and a fatty sweetness; it has also been served cool, with fat making up more than half.
Oyster fritter
The shell is golden and crisp, with plenty of chives inside and a small amount of fresh oyster; it can be paired with soy paste or sweet chili sauce.
