Order first and wait for your number
And beef breast oil!! Mix and soup can be selected, a portion of 20
I chose beef chest oil soup, soup is too fresh, the chest oil is very big, not so crispy mix, but I also like, the boss recommended mixing beef chest oil, said it would be better!
Salty rice 3 yuan, good smell ah, I really like Quanzhou salty rice, I can eat a bowl of empty mouth, light but very fragrant, I guess is cooked with beef soup rice
Braised steak 20 yuan, slightly curry taste, soft rotten taste, super delicious!
For something light, a bowl of peanut soup with steaming pan-fried cakes is the best choice. The soup is sweet and delicious, the cake is soft and glutinous and fragrant, and it is warm not only the stomach, but also the heart.
