Dishes
Spicy Twelve-Flavor CrawfishSpicy crayfish is made with fresh crayfish as the main ingredient, stir-fried with a blend of spices such as star anise, cassia bark, Sichuan pepper, and chili. First, the crayfish are cleaned and blanched to remove any fishy odor, then the spices are fried in oil until fragrant, followed by stir-frying the crayfish. Finally, water is added and the dish is simmered until fully flavored.
Spicy Lobster with Thirteen Spices (Medium Size)Fresh medium-sized crayfish stir-fried with a secret blend of thirteen spices, resulting in a rich aroma and tender meat with a spicy kick.
Salted Egg Yolk LobsterSalted egg yolk lobster is made with fresh lobster as the main ingredient, stir-fried with salted egg yolk. After cleaning and blanching the lobster, it is mixed and stir-fried with fragrant salted egg yolk, allowing the oil and aroma of the egg yolk to penetrate into the lobster meat, creating a rich and flavorful dish.
Grilled OystersGrilled oysters are made primarily from fresh oysters, which are cleaned and then grilled over charcoal. During grilling, seasonings such as garlic paste, vermicelli noodles, and soy sauce can be added to enhance the tenderness of the oyster meat and create a rich, flavorful dish.
Frog LegsFrogs legs, known for their tender texture and delicious flavor, are the main ingredient in this dish. Typically stir-fried with chili peppers, scallions, ginger, and garlic, the frogs' legs are carefully cooked to achieve a tender and richly flavored result—making it a nutritious and delightful delicacy.
