Top entertainment hosts' recommendations: The must-eat lazy guide to Fengjia Night Market!

Text/Photo byGuo Renrong

The long-awaited summer vacation is finally here Up!!! I believe the stalls at night markets across Taiwan have also kicked off their golden battle season, regardless of weekdays or weekends!!! To celebrate the start of summer vacation~ our entertainment host made a special trip to Fengjia Night Market in Taichung, the busiest one, a few months ago and captured all the hottest foods. We've waited all the way until the start of the vacation to share all these delicious treats with you in one go Up!!!

The first place I recommend is "Clam! Shellfish Surprise". See the clams bigger than my fist? And take a closer look~ these huge clams are all alive!!! Lots of meat is sticking out, super fresh!!!

There are various flavors to choose from. Since I like the sesame oil flavor, I went for the stir-fried sesame oil, which is also the store's signature dish!!!!

The huge, plump, and sweet clam dish comes with soup that you can actually drink~ just 100 NT dollars for a portion, perfect to take home and enjoy a good meal.

The second stop for our entertainment host is "Fish with Sauce", a long-established stall in the Fengjia area, as our host had even interviewed it back during the Explore period on Videoland!!!!


Look~ crispy fried fresh fish and squid, paired with six different sauces~ it's really hard not to get addicted.

I chose the authentic Thai flavor this time - Thai sweet and sour~ wow!! The portion is quite generous. Since it's fried to order, the medium-sized roll has a crispy crust and the meat inside is super chewy. My friends all shouted "Oishii"!

For the fish, the shop uses swordfish and dorado, so the fish is very tender. I think 70 NT dollars for three ingredients is really great value, and the prices are much more affordable than night markets in Taipei~ no wonder I love Taichung so much~

How could we visit Fengjia Night Market without stopping by the entertainment host's buddy, Ah Hua, known as the "Fengjia Little King"? We definitely had to check out his shop "Pork Treasure Box" Up!The sign says thick-cut pork chops, and here you can choose from four sauces: 1. French herb tartar sauce 2. Super rich bacon cheese sauce 3. American honey mustard sauce 4. Japanese teriyaki seaweed sauce.

If you like bold flavors, the shop also has a specially made Mexican salsa for you to pair with.

Today we chose the French herb tartar sauce. The pork chop is thick, the coating isn't too thick, and paired with the tartar sauce that leaves a sweet aftertaste, even though I was already a bit full, I couldn't help but finish the whole box!!!! The crispy pork chop is served on a bed of lettuce, topped with colorful corn and diced vegetables, very lavish!It looks like a jewelry box~ a feast for the eyes, nose, and taste buds.

Next, let me introduce these two stalls together, because they are basically sister stores, not only are they located next to each other, but their names also differ by just one character, truly the left and right of the night market world~ the golden left and right legs~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

First up, the Golden Right Thigh is made by pan-frying the chicken thigh until cooked, then topping it with Italian herb cheese sauce and cheese before baking. After that, you can customize the flavor with the shop’s signature Mexican spicy salsa. One dish, two flavor experiences—the chicken thigh cutlet is thick and super juicy, a world apart from what you’d get at a buffet. Best of all, the boss adds shredded cabbage to cut through the greasiness—highly recommended!!!

Next door, the Golden Left Thigh is prepared by deep-frying and then drizzling it with the shop’s special sauces. There are five sauce options to choose from: 1. Double Cheese Sauce 2. Honey Mustard Sauce 3. Lobster Tobiko Sauce 4. Tani Sauce 5. Thai Spicy and Sour Sauce.

The fried chicken thigh is served on top of a bed of lettuce salad and then drizzled with the special sauce. Unlike the grilled right thigh, the fried version has a crispier, juicier texture. The Tani Sauce tastes a bit like tartar sauce, keeping our entertainment streamer munching non-stop all night, popping bite after bite into their mouth—by now, I was pretty much full to the brim!!!

After eating at five stalls in a row—our entertainment streamer suddenly realized how thirsty they were. After walking a few steps, they spotted a bizarre sign that read “Red Tea Fried Milk” and wondered, “What on earth is this?!” So they bought a cup to try it out!!! (Very much in the spirit of an experimenter)

While waiting for the boss to make it, they learned that he uses Assam Black Tea No. 8 from Sun Moon Lake, mixed with low-fat fresh cream and fresh milk to make a Hong Kong-style milk tea, then tops it with fresh cream and cocoa powder. The photo emphasized a multi-texture experience—this was truly a first for them, something they’d never TRIED before!!!

Our group of four each ordered a different flavored Red Tea Fried Milk: matcha, strawberry, rose, and original.

At first, they thought the Red Tea Fried Milk with low-fat fresh cream would be too sweet, but it turned out not sweet at all and had a very smooth taste. If you love milky flavors, you definitely have to try it—it has quite a layered taste. How could we not recommend it?!
