Dishes
Dough-cut Steamed BunSteamed stuffed buns, also known as dao qie mantou, are a traditional Chinese pastry made primarily from flour and fermented dough. Shaped into long strips with a smooth surface, they are sliced evenly with a knife. The buns have a soft texture and a subtle wheat aroma, making them suitable as a staple food paired with various dishes, or as a breakfast or afternoon tea option.
Pork Custard BunXiao Zhu Nai Huang Bao is a Chinese pastry made with flour as the skin and奶黄馅 (milk custard filling) as the main filling. The milk custard filling is made from eggs, milk, sugar, and a small amount of starch, heated and stirred into a thick consistency. The dough is wrapped around the filling and shaped into a pig, then steamed.
Corn Steamed BunCorn buns are fermented dough made from a mix of cornmeal and wheat flour. The ingredients are combined, kneaded with yeast and warm water, then steamed after fermentation. They have a golden color, soft texture, and a slightly sweet, corn-like aroma.
Tea EggTea eggs are a traditional Chinese snack made primarily from eggs and tea. The preparation involves boiling the eggs until fully cooked, then gently cracking the shells before simmering them together with tea, spices, and seasonings. This allows the tea's aroma to penetrate the egg, creating a unique flavor.
Shepherd's Purse Pork BunJi菜 meat buns use fresh shepherd's purse and pork. After blanching, the shepherd's purse is chopped and mixed with minced pork, seasoned and stirred to make filling. The dough is fermented, rolled into wrappers, filled, and steamed.
Three Delicacies with MushroomsA Chinese vegetarian dish featuring a mix of mushrooms like shiitake, enoki, and king oyster, stir-fried or simmered to bring out their natural umami flavor.
Sour Pickle Pork BunsSteamed pork and sour mustard greens buns made with minced pork and chopped sour mustard greens mixed with seasonings, wrapped in fermented dough and steamed.
Spicy Tofu DumplingsSpicy tofu parcels are made primarily from soft tofu, wrapped in thin dough and steamed or pan-fried. Ingredients such as chili, scallions, ginger, and garlic are stir-fried and mixed with the tofu, allowing the flavors to penetrate into the tofu's core, creating a soft outer skin and a spicy, savory filling.
Fresh Juice Pork BunFresh juice pork buns are made with pork as the main ingredient, combined with a delicious seasoning sauce, finely seasoned and wrapped in soft dough, then steamed. The filling is tender and juicy, while the dough is soft and flavorful—a classic Chinese dim sum.
