Dishes
Whole Lamb SoupWhole lamb soup is made primarily from lamb and carefully simmered with lamb bones. The broth has a creamy white color and a rich, hearty flavor. The lamb is tender, and the marrow from the bones blends into the soup, enhancing both its nutrition and taste. During preparation, the lamb and bones are first washed and blanched to remove any odor, then added to an appropriate amount of water along with ingredients such as ginger slices and scallions. The mixture is slowly stewed for several hours until the broth becomes thick and the meat is tender.
Cold Dish PlatterA cold dish platter composed of various fresh vegetables, fruits, and cooked foods, including cucumber, carrot, tomato, purple cabbage, and seaweed, paired with a specially prepared seasoning. Each ingredient is carefully selected and cut to preserve its natural flavor, offering a colorful presentation and rich, layered textures.

The pork knuckle is usually stewed or braised until tender and flavorful, while the flatbread is handmade with a crispy outer layer and soft interior. To prepare, slice or shred the pork knuckle and place it inside the flatbread, optionally adding scallion strips and sauce as accompaniments.
