The Fresh Crabs and many more..

The must try dish is definitely the crab – both the female and male roe are incredibly juicy and fresh. You can really taste the difference between this restaurant’s crabs compared to others. It’s no wonder why it draws in crowds each evening.

The Taiwanese crab has two types of roe – one from the female and one from the male crabs – which adds an extra crunchy texture and unique flavor with every bite. The taste is indescribable – it’s like tasting freshness itself! Every piece of juicy, succulent Crab meat explodes with flavor into your mouth as soon as you take a bite – totally blissful

Another signature dish in this restaurant are the hand made squid balls, a unique taiwanese favorite. The expertly crafted balls are made with real fresh squids to make them irresistibly flavorful and juicy. Unlike other restaurants which use flour to make their squid balls, this restaruant puts an emphasis on its homemade integrity to ensure that customers can truly feel the deliciousness of these perfectly created squid balls.
