Dishes
Double-Flavor Grilled FishDouble-sided grilled fish is a dish featuring fish as the main ingredient, paired with two different flavored side dishes that are grilled together. Typically using grass carp or sea bass, the fish is scored and marinated before being grilled in an oven or over charcoal until fully cooked. Two distinct seasoning blends—such as spicy麻麻辣 (málà) and savory sauce flavors—are prepared separately and grilled alongside the fish, allowing the fish to absorb these diverse flavors.
Mountain Delicacy Old Duck SoupMountain delicacy old duck soup features aged duck and various wild mushrooms like shiitake, bamboo fungus, and wood ear, slowly simmered for hours to create a rich, flavorful broth.
Chinese yamMountain yam is a dish primarily made with mountain yam as the main ingredient. The preparation typically involves peeling and slicing the yam, which can be combined with other ingredients such as wood ear mushrooms and carrots, then stir-fried or simmered. After cooking, the mountain yam slices have a crisp and tender texture with a unique fresh aroma.
Hand-pulled noodlesHand-pulled noodles are a type of noodle made primarily from flour. The dough is rolled into thin sheets and then manually pulled into long strips, which are boiled and served with various seasonings and vegetables.
Hand-stretched noodlesHand-pulled noodles, or 'chen mian,' is a traditional Chinese handmade noodle dish primarily made from flour and water. The dough is repeatedly kneaded and stretched to create long, thin noodles. To prepare, the dough is rolled into a thin sheet, folded, and then pulled by hand into uniform strands. Once cooked, it can be served with various broths or stir-fried.
Grilled Lamb SkewersLamb skewers are made primarily from fresh lamb, cut into uniform small pieces and threaded onto bamboo or metal skewers. After marinating, they are slowly grilled over charcoal, turning frequently to ensure even heating. They are cooked until the surface turns golden brown and the meat becomes tender, releasing a rich aroma.
Bamboo MushroomBamboo fungus dishes use bamboo fungus as the main ingredient, combined with carefully selected ingredients such as chicken and shrimp, and prepared by steaming or stewing. The freshness of the bamboo fungus blends perfectly with the textures of the ingredients, resulting in a rich and flavorful broth that is also highly nutritious.
Chinese chrysanthemum greensGai lan, using fresh gai lan as the main ingredient, is prepared through simple cooking techniques to preserve its original flavor as much as possible. Common preparation methods include stir-frying, garlic stir-fry, or cold mixing, aiming to highlight gai lan's unique fragrance and texture.
Sauce-Flavored Duck HeadsBraised duck heads are simmered with fermented bean paste, soy sauce, cooking wine, ginger slices, and green onions to absorb rich flavors, resulting in a soft and savory dish.
Sour RadishSuan Luobo is a pickled dish primarily made from radish. The preparation involves slicing the radish, salting it to draw out moisture, then adding sugar, vinegar, chili, and other seasonings for pickling. Finally, it is sealed and stored until the radish absorbs the flavors and becomes sour.
Sour Radish and Duck SoupSuan Luobo Lao Ya Tang is made with old duck and sour radish, simmered slowly. The duck is blanched to remove odor, then cooked with sour radish, ginger, and water until tender, yielding a clear broth with rich flavor.
