  Pork Belly

  Pork belly is a cut of meat from the pig's abdomen, characterized by alternating layers of fat and lean meat, which gives it the name 'five-layered' or 'five-striped'. Common cooking methods include braising, stir-frying, or stewing. During cooking, the fat melts, resulting in tender meat with an aromatic flavor.
• 

  Filled Fish Balls

  Fish balls are made primarily from fish meat. First, the bones are removed and the fish meat is finely minced.

Once cooked and floating to the surface, they are ready to serve—tender in texture with a rich, flavorful center.
