Girl power on full display: Guo Shu-yao’s favorite dessert—bubble tea mini cronuts

Thai-style stir-fried clams
The stir-fried pork is first marinated in pickled vegetable juice, resulting in a moderate level of spiciness, a very refreshing taste, and no greasy feeling. Although "stir-fried pork" might sound like a heavy flavor, when the dish was first launched, some customers actually said it was “too strong.” It has now been adjusted to a flavor that most people can enjoy. Paired with cucumber slices and a small piece of lemon, the texture is actually quite refreshing.

Beef Cheese Sandwich
The bread feels soft mainly because the chef warms it directly on an iron plate with butter, giving it a slightly crispy texture. Only after this step are the other ingredients added and baked, and the cheese is added last. The beef is made from sirloin slices that are stir-fried before being placed inside the bread, making for a very tasty bite. It’s also served with a side of salad and potatoes to make the meal more balanced nutritionally.

Detox Juice
The detox juice is made by blending a whole carrot and an apple, mixed with fresh pineapple juice, with no added water or sugar. The sweetness mainly comes from the apple. Interestingly, the apple also dilutes the flavors of the carrot and pineapple, making it very smooth to drink.
