甜不辣/ 天妇罗 - Also known as tempura, it is a deep-fried crispy snack made from starch, egg york and fish paste.

肉燥饭/ 魯肉飯 - Minced fatty pork served on rice. It has a delightful aroma because of the lard used in pork stew.

柠檬愛玉冰 - A cooling gelatinous dessert made from the seeds of a fig-like fruit. Served on ice with lemon squash.

臭豆腐 - Known as the stinky tou fu, it is fermented tou fu being deep fried and served with a variety of sauces . Smell like strong cheese or rotten egg but it's a delicacy enjoyed by many. An acquired taste.

炸香鸡排 - Extra large crispy and juicy fried chicken fillet sprinkled with chilli pepper and spices that gives a fiery burst of flavours in the mouth. Finger licking good!
