Dishes
Rock Sugar Snow BallsIce sugar snow balls are meatballs made from pork tenderloin, cooked with rock sugar and water. Pork is minced, seasoned, shaped into small balls, boiled, then simmered with sugar and water until the syrup thickens and coats the balls.
Glutinous Rice Candy ApplesGlazed rice candy skewers feature hawthorn as the main ingredient, with pitted hawthorns threaded onto bamboo sticks, coated in boiled syrup, and cooled to form a crisp shell. While the sugar coating is still soft, toasted rice grains are added to embed into the shell, creating a unique layered texture.
Hawthorn Candy on a StickHaw flakes on skewers are made by threading pitted hawthorn slices or whole berries onto bamboo sticks, then coating them in boiled syrup to form a transparent candy shell. Temperature control during syrup preparation ensures even coverage and a crisp finish.
Candied Yam BeansSugar-fried yam beans is a dish primarily made with yam beans. After washing, the yam beans are stir-fried in a pan with white sugar until they are coated with a sugary glaze and slightly caramelized. No additional seasonings are added during preparation, preserving the natural flavor of the yam beans.
Red Bean Paste Candy ApplesRed bean-filled hawthorn candy is made by filling pitted hawthorns with red bean paste, threading them, and coating in boiled sugar syrup to form a crisp sweet crust upon cooling.
Spicy Grilled Wheat GlutenJue Wei Kao Mianjin is a barbecue dish primarily made with gluten, sliced into strips or cubes, skewered, brushed with sauce, and grilled until slightly charred, offering a chewy texture.
Lamb SkewersLamb skewers are made by cutting fresh, tender lamb into chunks, threading them onto bamboo or metal skewers, and marinating before grilling directly over charcoal. 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.
Strawberry Candy ApplesStrawberry Tanghulu is made primarily with fresh strawberries, which are skewered on bamboo sticks and coated with boiled syrup. Once the syrup cools and solidifies, it forms a transparent, crisp shell. During preparation, the temperature of the syrup must be carefully controlled to ensure an even outer shell that is not easily broken.
Mini TanghuluMini candied hawthorn skewers made by threading pitless haws onto bamboo sticks, coating them in boiled sugar syrup, and letting them cool to form a transparent, crispy shell.
Black Pepper Beef SkewersBlack pepper beef skewers are made with tender beef cut into cubes and marinated with black pepper, salt, and other seasonings. The beef is then threaded onto bamboo skewers and grilled until the surface is slightly charred and emits a rich black pepper aroma.
