Near the exit of Yan San Night Market close to Daqiaotou MRT Station, there is a small stall specializing in grilled intestines. The compact food cart paired with a few tables and chairs under the arcade may seem simple, but it radiates Taiwanese vibrancy. During business hours, aside from the steady stream of diners taking seats, there are also plenty of takeout customers — making it one of the popular spots in Yan San Night Market.

This Daqiaotou Grilled Intestines stall only offers four dishes: sausages, grilled intestines, roasted chicken leg, and shredded meatball soup — keeping the selection simple. Their grilled intestines have a firmer texture, with the glutinous rice soft yet still holding its graininess. It carries a faint hint of pepper aroma, though without the large peanuts commonly found in southern-style versions. Sliced grilled intestines, when dipped in soy paste and spicy sweet sauce, are extremely satisfying. The accompanying pickled cucumbers, crisp and refreshing, help cut through the richness.

As for the grilled sausages, they strike the perfect balance between fat and lean, aren’t greasy, and come with a thin, crispy casing. Overall, they have a subtle sweetness, a bit of juice, and remain juicy without being dry. The sliced garlic, while not ideal for a date, is especially enjoyable when eaten with the sausage. Opting for the classic combo of grilled intestines and sausages lets you enjoy them along with garlic slices dipped in sauce — the glutinous rice, pork, and spices are richly flavorful and deeply satisfying. For those with a bigger appetite, pairing with the store’s roasted chicken leg and shredded meatball soup adds another delightful twist.
