When asked why the boss launched such a cheap double rice dish, Terry said that he never opened the store to make a lot of money. He simply wanted to “neighbors can eat some good food and good ingredients at a relatively cheap price, so that they can feed themselves.” Guys, just let the neighbors enjoy their meal.” He even said with a smile that from a huge loss of 180,000 yuan in the first month of opening to now, he is earning several thousand yuan a month (not including his own labor), which is pretty good. The two just want the restaurant to break even and not lose money.

The most popular dish among the dishes is the fish that the boss buys in person at the market every morning. It is fresh and heavy. On the day of the interview, I saw several pots of steamed starfish, so I carefully copied it! The boss recommends the meatloaf more. All kinds of meat patties are made of fresh pork, sometimes with foie gras, scallop sauce or crab sauce. The ingredients are broken and mixed into the meat patties and steamed, adding a salty and fragrant flavor. Tomato pork chop uses pork plum steak and fresh tomatoes. Each piece is fluffed with a hammer without adding loose meat powder. Zhizhu lamb belly, a must-eat in winter, is steamed from 6 or 7 pm until the next morning in order to preserve the original flavor of the lamb.

In addition, in order to add some new meaning, the restaurant also offers a variety of hand-cranked drinks. For an additional $8-13 with your meal, you can enjoy hand-brewed pearl milk tea, duck shit lemon tea and a variety of cold brew teas, etc.!
