Dishes
Cold-mixed black fungusCold-mixed black fungus is a refreshing cold dish, primarily made with black木耳 (wood ear mushrooms), and seasoned with ingredients such as minced garlic and cilantro. The preparation involves washing the soaked black fungus thoroughly, then mixing it with seasonings like soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil, along with the配料, to create a well-blended dish.
Lemon FishLemon fish features fresh carp or sea bass, marinated and then pan-fried or steamed, topped with a sauce made from lemon juice, ginger, garlic, and green onions, finished with lemon slices and cilantro.
Spicy麻 FishSpicy麻鱼 is made with fresh fish as the main ingredient, combined with green Sichuan peppercorns and sansho oil, and seasoned with ginger, garlic, and other调料. The fish meat is tender, and the broth is spicy and numbing with a hint of freshness, making it visually appealing.
Special Sauce Duck HeadFresh duck heads marinated in a secret sauce and slowly braised until tender, delivering rich flavor and aromatic depth.
Tomato FishTomato Fish is a dish primarily made with fish meat and tomatoes. The preparation typically involves slicing the fish and stewing it together with tomato chunks, allowing the tenderness of the fish to blend perfectly with the sweet and sour flavor of the tomatoes, resulting in a bright red color.
Century EggCentury egg, also known as preserved egg or pine-pattern egg, is made by curing eggs—usually duck or chicken eggs—in a mixture of alkaline substances and clay. The egg white becomes gel-like with dark patterns, while the yolk turns deep green or gray-black and becomes thicker in texture.
