Dishes
Cold Pot SkewersCold pot skewers involve threading various ingredients onto bamboo sticks, marinating them in a special sauce, then cooking in a cold pot. Main ingredients include meats (beef, chicken, pork), vegetables (potato, lotus root, cabbage), and soy products (tofu, bean skin). After串ing, mix with secret sauce, then heat in a cold pot until cooked through while preserving original flavors.
Mom's Crispy Pork BallsA traditional Chinese home-style dish made with seasoned pork filling, deep-fried until golden and crispy. Delicate texture with a savory aroma, often served with vegetables or soup.
Stir-Fried Glutinous Rice BallsStir-fried glutinous rice balls is a dish primarily made with glutinous rice balls, paired with辅料 such as greens, minced meat, or ham, and cooked through quick stir-frying. The rice balls are first boiled until cooked, drained, then stir-fried together with the ingredients to achieve a slightly crispy outer skin and soft, chewy filling, resulting in a rich and satisfying texture.
Premium Brain on the StickA premium dish made from pork brain, stir-fried with spicy chili and Sichuan peppercorns, offering a rich, numbingly spicy flavor.
Lemon Ice JellyLemon ice jelly is a cold dish made with ice jelly, lemon juice, sugar syrup, and a few lemon slices. The ice jelly, made from plant starch, has a smooth texture that pairs perfectly with the tangy and sweet flavors of lemon.
Panda YogurtA creative dessert made with plain yogurt, black chocolate sauce, and white cream to resemble a panda's coloring.
Langya PotatoLangya potatoes is a snack made primarily from potatoes, processed through a special cooking technique that results in a golden, crispy skin and a soft interior. It is typically mixed with spices and seasonings to create an appealing color and aroma.
Sweet TomatoA refreshing dish made with fresh tomatoes lightly cooked with sugar and salt, offering a balanced sweet and sour flavor.
Brown Sugar Glutinous Rice CakeRed sugar glutinous rice cakes are a traditional dessert made primarily from glutinous rice and brown sugar. First, the glutinous rice is steamed and then mashed into a paste to form the rice cakes. Next, brown sugar is dissolved in water and boiled into a syrup, which is poured over the rice cakes. Finally, toasted sesame seeds or crushed peanuts are sprinkled on top for added aroma.
