Dishes
Steamed Blue Crab with Iberian Black PorkThis dish features fresh blue crab and Iberian black pork as the main ingredients. The cleaned and chopped crab is arranged on a plate with thinly sliced or diced Iberian black pork. A small amount of simple seasonings like ginger slices and scallions is typically added to remove any fishy taste and enhance freshness. It is then steamed to preserve the original flavors of the ingredients. The resulting dish combines the sweet freshness of the crab meat with the rich, savory fat of the black pork, offering a complex and layered taste experience.
Buddha Jumps Over the WallBuddha Jumps Over the Wall is a famous traditional Fujian dish, primarily made with珍贵 ingredients such as shark fin, abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw, and pigeon eggs, enhanced with aromatics like dried scallops, chicken, and ham. Each ingredient is separately stewed before being combined into one pot and slowly simmered over low heat to create a rich, flavorful broth where all ingredients blend harmoniously. The finished dish has a golden color and a thick, delicious soup.
Barbecued Pork Pastry with Durian PastryThis is a combination platter of two types of pastries. The barbecued pork pastry features flaky pastry dough filled with sweet and savory barbecued pork, baked until the crust is crisp and the filling is juicy. The durian pastry uses similar flaky dough filled with a sweet paste made from fresh or frozen durian flesh, baked to achieve a golden, crispy exterior and a soft, fragrant durian filling. Both pastries are prepared separately and served together on a plate.
Steamed Yellow Croaker with Dahongpao PeppercornsThis dish features fresh yellow croaker as the main ingredient, paired with Sichuan's specialty Dahongpao peppercorns. The cleaned fish is placed on a plate, sprinkled with Dahongpao peppercorns, ginger slices, and scallions, then drizzled with a small amount of cooking wine and steamed fish soy sauce.

The numbing aroma of the peppercorns and the tender fish meat blend thoroughly under the steam, resulting in a dish with white, delicate flesh, clear and fresh broth, and a distinctive peppercorn fragrance.
