The flagship establishment of the chain has been around for over 30 years. The kitchen team of Hubei natives is picky about its ingredients, most of which are shipped daily from their home province to ensure freshness. The menu changes according to the 24 solar terms in the Chinese calendar and stars the best seasonal produce. Long-snout catfish with tomato boasts silky flesh and a tangy, mildly spicy sauce. Sautéed young lotus seeds are sweet and crispy.

The second-generation owner of this family-run shop still follows the original c. 1920 recipes. The establishment is packed at peak times, so expect to queue, serve yourself and share a table with strangers. Order the signature braised beef by the catty – about 0.5 catty per person. Specify whether you want it fatty or lean. Plain noodles in beef broth come in two sizes. The flavoursome broth and toothsome noodles are a match made in heaven.
