The Hong Kong branch uses the secret recipe from the Taiwan headquarters, with over 70% of the ingredients sourced from various parts of Taiwan. For the soup noodles, you can choose between hand-cut noodles or thin noodles, and it comes with a side of pickled mustard greens. Signature Braised Beef Tendon Noodles $86 The signature classic original braised beef features carefully selected fresh fatty beef fried to release natural oils, then mixed with 23 different spices and herbs and slowly stir-fried over low heat. Fresh beef bone broth is added and simmered for a long time, resulting in a rich soup base with a slightly spicy and numbing aroma, layered with fragrant spices. The rare and precious beef tendon meat is slow-cooked and braised, with a balanced ratio of tendon to meat, rich beef flavor, and tender, sweet meat. The biggest difference from other beef noodles is the homemade hand-pulled noodles, specially kneaded into wide, unevenly thick noodles with a chewy and springy texture, which also increases the surface area for absorbing the soup, making it easy to hold the broth. Green Sichuan Pepper Fragrant Shredded Chicken Dry Noodles $78 Tender shredded chicken paired with braised egg, oil lettuce, and peanuts, stir-fried with green Sichuan pepper, giving a refreshing numbing flavor that is mildly spicy but not pungent. The thin noodles have many pores, easily absorbing more sauce. The dry-mixed style offers a crisp and springy texture. The braised egg is slowly cooked in a secret braising sauce until flavorful, soaking into the egg white while also permeating the yolk. Crispy Fried Pork Ribs $48 Deep-fried at high temperature, the exterior is dry, crispy, and not greasy. The batter is not too thick, and the meat is tender and juicy. Fresh Pork Potstickers $48 The potstickers are plump and round, with moderately thick wrappers. The bottom is pan-fried to a slight crisp, filled with fresh pork and sweet crunchy cabbage. The filling is solid and juicy. Aged Tofu $38 After soy milk coagulates, it is pressed to squeeze out water, forming many pores inside with good absorption, quickly soaking up the sauce. The aged tofu has a relatively firm texture and rich soy aroma, and even when braised thoroughly, it does not become overly salty. Apple Jasmine Green Tea $34 Combines the natural sweet and sour taste of apple with the delicate fragrance of jasmine flowers, with crystal-clear green tea jelly inside. Fresh Lime Soda $28 Refreshing and cooling, a perfect companion to beat the summer heat, sweeping away the stuffiness.
