🍲 First Restaurant – Focuses on fish, smooth and easy-to-eat soup
• Taste: The soup is well-rounded, not too strong, with a slight spiciness and a slight sourness from the pickled vegetables. Easy to sip, perfect for those who don't like too much flavor.
• Fish: The highlight is the generous portion of fish, large pieces, soft and melt-in-your-mouth. Every bite is full of fish.
• Other dishes: "Sweet and Sour Chicken" is rich in flavor. The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, served in a perfectly balanced sweet and sour sauce. Best eaten with rice.
• Suitable for: Those who prefer value, generous portions, and a mild flavor that's not too strong.

🍲 Second Shop – Strong, sour, and spicy.
• Taste: The soup is richer, with a distinct spiciness and sourness from the pickled mustard greens. Enjoyable to chew, with a slight oiliness that adds depth to the flavor.
• Fish: Less fish than the first shop, but compensated with a generous amount of pickled mustard greens. Suitable for those who prefer a full-bodied sour taste from pickled vegetables.
• Other menu items: "Chinese Sausage Rice" is a bit salty. Those who enjoy traditional Chinese sausage might like it, but those who dislike saltiness might find it too strong.
• Suitable for: Those who want a strong, rich, sour, and spicy flavor.
