A distinctly old-Taipei Taiwanese stir-fry atmosphere, a broad selection, and wok hei make it suitable for groups sharing dishes over drinks.

Signature Dishes

  • Baihua Youtiao

    Youtiao stuffed with shrimp and cuttlefish paste is deep-fried; the filling is springy. The sweet-and-sour sauce leans sweet with a slight tang, and the exterior may soften after being coated.

  • Champion Braised Pork Rice

    The minced pork has a gelatinous richness, and the fatty meat melts in the mouth; the sauce is balanced in saltiness and not greasy. Tasty, but it may not feel championship-worthy.

  • Re Niang Shao Egg

    The egg’s edges are lightly charred while the center is soft-set, served with a mildly spicy scallion sauce; it tastes similar to a soy-sauce fried egg and may not be worth ordering specially.

  • Lao Pi Nen Rou

    The pan-fried egg tofu absorbs a mildly spicy, savory-salty sauce; it is crisp outside and tender inside, with a silky center.

  • Tender-Seared Pork Liver

    The slices are moderately thick and cooked to a tender doneness, coated in a sweet-and-salty sauce; if you are concerned about pork-liver aroma, note that it may be pronounced.
