Signature Dishes

  • Steamed rou yuan

    The steamed rou yuan has a firm meat filling with a faint aroma and a slightly sweet flavor; the skin ranges from soft with a little chew to so thin it can tear, and chili sauce adds flavor.

  • Shumai

    Thin skin and a firm meat filling, with a soft, chewy texture and fine filling; tomato sauce and pickled cucumber make a Taiwanese pairing, but it may be small, light on meat, or overly soft.

  • Bowl cake

    Filled with salted egg yolk, diced lean pork, and shiitake, with a mildly sweet sauce; it is commonly served cold, with texture ranging from moderately soft and not chewy to light and springy.

  • Wonton soup

    Celery bits make the broth lightly sweet; the wonton skin is chewy and not greasy, while the filling is sparse and the overall impression can be fairly ordinary.
