A standout dish is the Ngan Dinh spring rolls, noted for their precise frying technique and delicate texture. A filling of shrimp and crisp water chestnuts is wrapped in thin tofu skin, then fried until golden. Served with dipping sauce, these spring rolls offer a rich, airy crispness, showcasing refined preparation and frying skills.

Unlike the spring rolls, Dong Pha pork highlights meticulous braising and precise timing. Cubed pork belly is slow-braised in a wine and soy sauce mixture, resulting in tender, succulent meat. The rich brown sauce infuses every fiber, balancing richness, savory flavors, and a fragrant wine finish.

While Dong Pha pork showcases patience and precise timing, stir-fried rice noodles with beef highlights the chef's mastery of wok hei (high-heat cooking) and steady technique. The rice noodles are stir-fried quickly over high heat, ensuring a firm yet tender texture. This is combined with beef, sauteed just enough to preserve its sweet, tender, and aromatic qualities.
