Unlike typical Yangzhou cuisine that is refined and delicate, Yu Cheng specialises in rustic and comforting farm-style fare. The meats cured in-house, including air-dried goose, salted duck, and sausages, are particular crowd pleasers – order a platter to sample a variety of items. Other specialities include cured pork face, braised pork with salted fish, and salted pork ribs with winter melon in claypot, which impart simple but warming flavours.
