A highlight of the meal is their three signature dipping sauces. The spicy sauce is rich and aromatic, delivering an intense kick, so a little goes a long way.
The black vinegar sauce has mild acidity and fruity sweetness, making it refreshing with pork and vegetables.
The handmade satay sauce is fragrant with slight spiciness and sweetness, pairing perfectly with beef to enhance its flavor.
