Century Egg Noodles 皮蛋面

This dish features fresh noodles dressed in a century egg sauce with stir-fried minced pork. The noodles have a wide, thick texture reminiscent of knife-cut noodles, which perfectly absorb the rich sauce and the savory pork. If you like bold flavors and hearty textures, this one’s a must-try!

Oyster Braised Pork Rice 蚝华卤肉饭

This dish combines braised pork belly and Japanese oysters over a bed of pearl rice, available in half-dozen or dozen portions. I was pleasantly surprised by how the oysters’ briny depth complemented the tender pork and savory rice. The oysters add a new layer of flavor that elevates this classic comfort food.

Double-Boiled Chicken Soup 清炖鸡汤

A wholesome bowl made with Kampung chicken, ginger, and spring onions, this double-boiled soup is both comforting and nourishing. The slow-cooking process really brings out the natural flavors, creating a clear, flavorful broth that’s packed with nutrients. It’s the perfect pick-me-up if you’re looking for something soothing and satisfying.

Taiwanese Cold Noodles 凉面

Served chilled, these noodles come dressed in a garlic sesame sauce with cucumber and chili oil. The nutty, slightly tangy sauce is rich without being overpowering, while the chili oil adds just a hint of warmth. This refreshing dish is a great choice if you’re after a lighter, summery meal.

Roasted Peanut Mochi 花生汤圆麻薯

The peanut mochi, coated in roasted peanut shavings, is a delightful treat. The black sesame version is equally indulgent, with both offering a thick, crunchy coating and a molten, gooey center. A must for dessert lovers looking for a chewy, nutty bite!

Yammy Ice Cream Bun 金芋满糖

This dessert is a Taiwanese-inspired treat that combines fried mantou with yam ice cream, yam paste, and baked pistachios. The mantou is pillowy and soft, while the earthy sweetness of the yam pairs perfectly with the creamy ice cream. Each bite is rich, textural, and utterly indulgent—a fantastic way to end the meal!
