Crystal Jelly / Hawthorn / Peanuts / Seasonal Fruits / Chilled
Bingfen, a beloved summertime delicacy in Sichuan, China, captures the essence of the season with its translucent, jelly-like consistency. Crafted from the seeds of a specific Sichuan plant, it bears a striking resemblance to Taiwanese Aiyu jelly.
This refreshing treat is typically garnished with an array of toppings: vibrant orange slices, chewy konjac crystal balls, finely crushed peanuts, tart hawthorn crumbs, mildly tangy fermented rice, succulent aloe vera, and luscious dragon fruit pieces. Together, these ingredients meld into a harmonious blend, offering a silky-smooth texture and a delightful whisper of sweetness.
Pear Soup / Honey / Fritillaria / Ginseng / Double-boiled
Pears, known as the "foremost among fruits," are double-boiled with a variety of Chinese medicinal herbs such as Fritillaria bulbs, white fungus, snow lotus seeds, ginseng, and wolfberries. This concoction serves as a nourishing tonic that warms and replenishes the body and mind while also providing the benefits of soothing the throat and moisturizing the lungs. This pear soup releases a subtle pear aroma and is pleasing to the palate — smooth, tender, and delicately sweet.
Glutinous Rice Ball / Brown Sugar / Sesame / Crispy
A beloved snack from Chengdu, Sichuan, the Sugar-oil Fruit is made from glutinous rice flour, sugar, and fermented rice. The ingredients are deep-fried with brown sugar, and the glutinous rice balls are slowly rotated until they achieve a crispy exterior. Finally, they are garnished with a sprinkle of white sesame seeds. Each bite offers a crunchy exterior with a soft, sweet, and chewy interior.
Osmanthus Pudding / Yam / Lotus Seed / Chilled
The chilled pudding is crafted from a base of yam and lotus seeds, topped with osmanthus jelly, and drizzled with osmanthus syrup. It features a gentle and refined color with a soft and dense texture. The fresh and delicately sweet fragrance lingers on the palate.
