The fried chicken wings may appear dry on the outside with their crispy, golden-brown coating, but they surprise with juicy, tender meat inside. Each bite reveals the flavorful, moist chicken beneath the crunchy exterior, making for an irresistible combination of textures. Despite the crisp appearance, the wings retain their succulent juiciness, elevating the overall taste.

The spicy pork wontons had a deliciously tangy kick from the vinegar seasoning, which added a bright, sour note. This balanced perfectly with the rich, flavorful chili oil, making each bite incredibly appetizing. The combination of the spicy heat and sourness enhanced the savory pork filling, creating a satisfying and well-rounded dish.
