Dishes
Cold-mixed crucian carpCold-mixed crucian carp is a cold dish primarily made with crucian carp. After the cleaned fish is boiled until fully cooked and deboned, it is mixed with ingredients such as green onions, ginger, garlic, and cilantro, then seasoned with soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and chili oil to create a flavorful dish.
Dry-Fried CatfishA Sichuan dish featuring tender catfish stir-fried with chili and Sichuan peppercorns until crispy, delivering a spicy and aromatic flavor.
Live LambLive lamb refers to freshly slaughtered and cooked mutton, often prepared by stewing, roasting, or as a whole roast, preserving its tender texture and natural flavor.
Roast Suckling PigRoast suckling pig is a dish made from young pigs weighing 5-8 kg, marinated and roasted slowly over charcoal or electric oven until the skin is golden and crispy, with tender meat.

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.
