Minsheng Community is Taiwan’s earliest urban development planned community, hailed by netizens as the most beautiful neighborhood in Taiwan. Its tranquil yet vibrant atmosphere not only attracts specialty cafés but also hides many delicious local eats that satisfy the taste buds of residents. Today, we’re joining food-loving locals to try out the widely acclaimed Ah Cheng Goose Meat shop!
Ah Cheng Goose Meat is located in Minsheng Community.
Ah Cheng Goose Meat is situated on Xin Dong Street in Bei Songshan. The area is a lively residential and commercial neighborhood. Now in business for nearly 30 years, it’s a favorite among local foodies. Beyond the delicious food, the warmth of the owner and the hearty conversations among diners add to the lively dining atmosphere.
Irresistibly delicious sweet-smoked goose meat.
As the name suggests, Ah Cheng Goose Meat specializes in goose. Each goose is carefully selected by the owner and undergoes strict quality control. After blanching, the meat is smoked with sugar, which ensures even flavor distribution and gives the meat a delightful chewiness that keeps customers coming back for more.
Goose Intestines with Chives.
The owner says their goose intestines with chives are the shop’s signature dish. Fresh goose intestines are stir-fried with chives and bean sprouts, then seasoned with crispy fried shallots for an extra kick. It’s incredibly satisfying on its own, easy to eat, and the portion size is generous too.
Goose Fat Rice.
Their goose fat rice is mixed with millet and drizzled with sauce. In terms of flavor, I found it decent, but I’m not sure if it was because the rice wasn’t cooked well that day—it felt a bit dry and hard, which was a bit of a shame.
