Marinated Pig Ear & Beef Tendon
Mochi Sampler - I've never been a fan of mochi because I find most to be too chewy and powdery but these changed my whole perception. These are soft and delicate with a sweet and creamy center filled with Taro, Mango, Red Bean and Green Tea (Sampler Pack). The outside is covered in very finely shredded coconut. I really like these. They make a really yummy snack.
Cold Soy Custard with Light Ginger Syrup/Sauce - this is one of my favorite snack items. It is light and smooth. It is basically silken tofu with a light gingery syrup. So good!
Fruit Cake Cookies - these cookies surprised me because I was expecting them to be hard and crispy but they were actually soft, moist and buttery. I really liked them!
The following photos were from a previous visit to this restaurant a couple of years ago but the menu has not changed since then.
Chopped Thousand Year Old Eggs - in case you are not familiar with thousand year old eggs, they are not really that old. It's just a name. The egg looks like this due to a preservation method in which the egg is covered in ashes/clay for a few months. At that point, the yolk turns a soft yellow and the white part of the egg turns a translucent black color and takes on the texture of firm gelatin. I really like thousand year old eggs. Don't let their appearance intimidate you from trying them. I like to eat them with a side of pickled baby onions.
Chicken Lettuce Wraps - I remembered that this was good too. Lots of water chestnuts so it has a lot of crunch.
This is the Soy Custard again - I think I have ordered this dessert every time I've come here so far.
Beef Chow Fun - good!
