No matter what you choose from the Lantern Lu Wei food stall, it'll take on the taste of the signature five-spice soy sauce. It's a little sweet, not too salty and aromatic, made with cloves, star anise, cinnamon and other spices.
Pick your preferred ingredients and the chef will cook it in a pot filled with the special sauce. It's a perfect light meal before a big night out. You should expect to wait in line as the chef never rushes -- he takes his time to allow the the food to absorb the sauce.
