Wun Dun Mian

(Taiwanese rendition of Wanton noodles with Flower Egg. The ancient saying, or rather the genuine Chinese saying, of wanton is actually wun dun.)

Flower Egg with Noodles

(the egg was supposedly cooked in boiling water to achieve the smooth pale yellow texture and flowery appearance - interesting dish)

-Ancient Cuisine - (old Chinese style)

Sweet and Sour Pork - Vintage style

(Really queer and vintage. Looked steamed, but it is not. The sauce is sweet and sour, but it is not cooked in the modern way. Something very ancestory about this dish.

Beancurd fried with Bean Pate and Lard
(Queer taste - yet delicious. Every ingredient was well mixed to bring out the overall flavour. Though such a dish is nowhere near modern style.)

Little Buddha Jump Over the Wall

(Queer taste - but also delicious. Nothing like a modern dish. Bits of dried shrimps wer found, and the golden round thing is actuall fried pigeon egg (resembling "tie dan" or metal egg))

- Yong Kang street-

Black Sesame Paste Pastry
(The pastry layers are really soft and slightly crisp, and the roasted black sesame paste is really fragrant with its original taste well-kept to reach your taste buds at every bite)
