Reviews
🍴Penghu Squid (Salted Egg Jinsha) $385
A standard dish that I personally think you can choose to order or not.
🍴Spicy Tofu with Beef $380
Since I don't eat beef, I can't give a rating 😂
But my family says it's delicious and it's one of the signature dishes～
✨Signature Crispy Duck $550
Crispy texture, savory and tasty.
Although the menu states it's soaked in Chinese herbs, I couldn't taste it; I instead felt it was more like salt and pepper XD. The enjoyable chewing part isn’t too overpowering, and it's not salty to the point where you need to drink a lot of water.
🍴Fish Fragrant Baked Egg $220
It's just a mildly spicy baked egg 🤣
🍴Crispy Rice Jinsha Tofu $240
The crispy rice is delicious, but the Jinsha tofu is just average for me.
✨Seasonal Vegetables - Choy Sum $150
The stir-fried vegetables are tasty! But it's just stir-fried vegetables, crisp and refreshing 🤣
✨Hunan Cured Meat Fried Rice $180
The cured meat is delicious! It has a slight sweetness that pairs very well with the fried rice. You could probably eat a small bowl just of the cured meat fried rice (?).
One serving is about enough for two to three people.
✨Sour Cabbage and Pork Hot Pot $450
This dish really surprised me!
The meat is tender and the tanginess of the sour cabbage creates a fresh sweetness, and the pairing is indeed delicious and appetizing. The other hot pot ingredients provided aren't your typical frozen ones either, and overall, the portions are generous. The warm hot pot broth is tasty.
One pot serves about two to three people.
✨Handmade Wooden Bucket Tofu Pudding $220
The red beans are dense, and the tofu pudding is firm, with just the right amount of syrup, not overly sweet—it's excellent as a dessert to finish off the meal.
One bucket serves about two to three people.
The dishes from Xiao Tuan Yuan are not greasy or overly seasoned, and I would recommend it to those who enjoy the warm atmosphere of family gatherings.
Additionally, the goji berry and chrysanthemum drink is unexpectedly good, so those who are open to trying this beverage should give it a shot.
