Signature Dishes

Braised Tofu with Pork Brain

The absolute signature. Silky tofu combined with creamy, perfectly cleaned pork brain, cooked in a spicy, numbing Sichuan chili sauce. No fishy taste at all, incredibly savory and addictive with rice.

Fragrant Spare Ribs

Crispy on the outside, tender inside. Stir-fried with fresh and pickled cowpeas, creating a wonderful mix of savory, tangy, and slightly numbing flavors.

Lotus Leaf Braised Pork

Tender pork belly braised with fragrant seasonings and wrapped in lotus leaves, which adds a subtle, fresh aroma, making the meat rich but not greasy.

Scallion-Flavored Pork Kidneys

Quick-stirred over high heat to keep the kidneys super tender and crisp, with a hint of scallion that cuts through any gaminess.
