Highlights and recommended dishes

• Hainan noodles: The noodles are round, thick, and have a firm, soft texture, similar to udon noodles.

• Broth: Available in clear and thick (starch-based) versions, the broth smells of black pepper and Chinese spices and offers a balanced, savory taste.

• Hainanese Prawn Paste (*Koi*): ​​A signature seasoning sauce found only in this shop; its addition enhances the broth and gives it a bolder, more intense flavor.

• Hainan noodles in thick or clear broth (served with side dishes such as braised pork, crispy pork belly, pork ribs or goat meat)

• Braised goat meat in red sauce

• Crispy pork belly in sweet soy sauce

• Hainanese noodles in thick broth (with braised pork and crispy pork belly)

A light, refreshing and aromatic clear broth with the scent of black pepper – perfect for sipping – served with braised radish and various side dishes.

• Crispy pork belly / Crispy pork belly with sweet soy sauce

The crispy pork belly here is highly praised; it is distinguished by a perfectly crispy crust and juicy, tender meat. It tastes even better with sweet soy sauce.
