Dishes
The white meat is excellent due to its thin slices, distinct layers of fat and lean meat, and fresh quality; it is highly recommended. The yellow rice cake is also good. However, the red braised yellow spicy fish has a fishy smell and isn't deeply flavored, and the toutun dish can be greasy with a fishy taste. The douhua (tofu pudding) is firm, leaning towards a tofu texture rather than a silky pudding.
Service
Excellent. Staff are well-trained and speak Mandarin to all customers. They are also considerate, giving away less-than-perfect meat cuts to avoid negative customer feedback.
Precautions
- The displayed sliced meat is mainly for show; the actual meat served is from the kitchen.
- The red braised yellow spicy fish may have a fishy smell and might not be fully flavored because it's cooked whole.
- The tofu pudding (douhua) might be firmer than expected, more like tofu.
- The toutun dish can be greasy and might have a fishy taste.
- The dipping sauce for the tofu pudding is quite salty on its own, so use it sparingly.
