  • Convincingly Textured Mock Meats

    Diners praise the realistic taste and texture of the mock meats, delivering the taste and mouthfeel of classic dishes without meat.

    The mock meat they used was also good quality I had to ask the staff if it's really mock meat as the taste and texture was too convincing.

    We ordered the sweet and sour fish and it was actually tofu made into the shape of a fish! (There was even this “fish skin” made from seaweed!).
