Dishes
Spicy Twelve-Flavor CrawfishSpicy crayfish is made with fresh crayfish as the main ingredient, stir-fried with a blend of spices such as star anise, cassia bark, Sichuan pepper, and chili. First, the crayfish are cleaned and blanched to remove any fishy odor, then the spices are fried in oil until fragrant, followed by stir-frying the crayfish. Finally, water is added and the dish is simmered until fully flavored.
Pork Tetra掌中宝 is a refined Chinese dish primarily made from chicken cartilage. During preparation, the chicken cartilage is marinated to absorb flavor, then quickly stir-fried at high heat to achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior, resulting in a rich and layered texture.
Beef SkewersBeef skewers are made by cutting selected beef into chunks and threading them onto bamboo skewers. After marinating, they are slowly grilled over charcoal until the outside is charred and the inside remains tender and juicy. The meat is delicious on its own but even better when paired with a special sauce.
Lamb SkewersLamb skewers are made by cutting fresh, tender lamb into chunks, threading them onto bamboo or metal skewers, and marinating before grilling directly over charcoal. During grilling, the lamb's fat drips onto the fire, creating smoke that熏 (smokes) the meat, resulting in a crispy exterior and tender interior with rich aroma.
Crispy Pork RibsCrunchy bones are mainly made from pig or cow cartilage, marinated and then fried or stir-fried. Seasonings are added during cooking to enhance flavor while maintaining a crispy exterior and tender interior.
