Signature Dishes

  • Rouyuan (肉圓)

    Q and springy rather than tough; filled with meat, bamboo shoots, and half an egg yolk, with a slight oily taste.

  • Mianxianhu (麵線糊)

    Well-seasoned, less common in Tainan, and a good pairing with rouyuan.

  • Gongwan soup (貢丸湯)

    Two large gongwan meatballs; the overall flavor is good.
