Dishes
Inner Mongolia Lamb RollsInner Mongolian lamb rolls are made from fresh lamb slices, typically cut thin and rolled, then cooked with scallions and ginger using blanching or quick stir-frying to retain tenderness.
Hand-Made Shrimp PasteHand-pounded shrimp paste is made primarily from fresh shrimp, which are deveined and chopped or pounded with the back of a knife into a paste. It is mixed with an appropriate amount of salt, egg white, starch, and a small quantity of scallion-ginger water, then repeatedly kneaded by hand until elastic, resulting in a smooth and tender shrimp paste. It can be cooked directly and eaten, or used in hot pot, steamed dishes, or stir-frying.
Sauces Beef BallsSauces牛丸 (Sauces Beef Balls) are made primarily from beef, mixed with a secret blend of seasonings, then minced into a meat paste and shaped into balls. The unique feature is that the balls contain a savory broth inside; during cooking, the high temperature melts the inner broth, causing it to flow out when bitten, delivering a delicious flavor.
PopcornPopcorn is made by heating corn kernels until they burst, creating a light and fluffy snack. The main ingredients are corn kernels and cooking oil. To prepare it, the corn kernels are placed in hot oil and heated until they expand and pop. Salt, sugar, or other seasonings can be added afterward.
Secret Sesame SauceA rich sesame-based sauce made with garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and chili oil, commonly used for noodles, salads, or dipping.
Homemade Plum Syrup DrinkHomemade hibiscus tea is a traditional Chinese beverage made primarily from black plums, hawthorn, licorice root, and sweetened with rock sugar. It has a bright red color and a balanced sour-sweet taste, known for its ability to cool the body and aid digestion.
Self-Service CondimentsSelf-service condiments are a combination of seasonings that customers can mix and match themselves, typically including basic ingredients such as soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, garlic paste, green onions, cilantro, and sesame paste. These are used to accompany hot pot, barbecue, cold dishes, or noodle dishes, allowing individuals to freely choose and blend according to their personal taste.
