🍜 Food Experience
I ordered the single‑person set meal, which cost about 54RMB💰.

🏆 Signature Beef Boat Noodles
From the moment it arrived, you could tell the ingredients were carefully prepared. It included beef slices, crispy pork skin, beef balls, beef brisket, chives, and fried garlic 🧄.
The presentation was so refined, and the broth was rich, sweet, and flavorful. You can sip the soup first, then adjust the taste to your liking with sugar, vinegar, or fish sauce. The noodles were perfectly chewy, making the dish truly satisfying 💖.


🏆 Lemongrass Chicken Wings
Crispy on the outside, tender inside, and mouth‑watering 🤤. The lemongrass flavor reveals itself as you chew, leaving a fragrant aftertaste.

The set also included a refreshing iced cola 🥤, perfect for balancing the richness.
