This dish is also a big hit among foodies. It's the first time DaKou has tried such a unique beef preparation!

[NT$380], which seems inspired by the concept of Five-Spice Intestines and Chili, but the ingredients inside are all different parts of beef like beef heart and beef liver!

When you put it in your mouth, it bursts with flavor, and there's no single dominant taste. The textures are richly layered with every bite—perfectly paired with plain rice as well!

[Spicy Stir-Fried Beef Medley] ([NT$380]) is stir-fried with green onions and onions to bring out the aroma. You get to enjoy multiple cuts of beef in one dish—it's incredibly satisfying!

[Beef with Three Treasures] includes tripe, omasum, omasum slices, and other parts. When cooked, it becomes tender and flavorful, with no overly gamey taste. It's incredibly comforting and delicious.

The [Beef with Rice Wine] pairs perfectly with the different beef textures. It’s not too strong, and the alcohol burns off nicely. It also goes very well with beer (not suitable for those under 18).

[Stir-Fried Beef Heart] ([NT$380]) not only has a variety of ingredients but also a generous portion of beef heart. It looks absolutely delicious!

The [Beef with Green Onion and Onion] here has a smooth texture. The onion doesn’t overpower the beef, nor does it feel sticky or scratchy in the throat. Instead, it’s tender, Q-textured, and not at all what you’d expect from liver.

The [Beef Liver] doesn’t have that intimidating raw liver smell, nor does it leave a sandy, sticky sensation in the throat. Instead, it’s soft, tender, and Q-textured. It doesn’t taste anything like liver as you’d imagine!

[Beef Kidney with Sesame Oil] ([NT$380]) includes not only beef kidney but also ingredients like sesame oil, napa cabbage, goji berries, and old ginger. It looks super nourishing!
