Dishes
XiaolongbaoXiaolongbao is a small soup dumpling filled with pork, known for its thin skin and tender filling with a delicious flavor. The preparation involves making the filling by mincing pork and seasoning it, then preparing dough, rolling out wrappers, stuffing them with the filling, and finally steaming them.
Sichuan-Style Sour Cabbage FishSichuan-style sour fish soup is made with fresh, tender fish meat and tangy pickled vegetables, seasoned with chili peppers and various spices. The fish is smooth and delicate, the pickled vegetables are appetizing, and the broth is pleasantly sour and spicy — a classic dish in Sichuan cuisine.

Shenjing Roast Goose SupremeDeep Well Roast Goose Emperor is made primarily from premium goose meat, processed through marinating, inflating, and hanging-roasting techniques. The goose skin turns golden red after high-temperature roasting, with a crispy exterior and tender, juicy meat, offering a unique flavor.
