Must-try new item at Jiguang Xiangxiang Chicken: Spicy Mapo Tofu Rice is bursting with flavor and super filling

Jiguang Xiangxiang Chicken continues to innovate. Following the recent success of its main meals “Xiangxiang Chicken Wheat Noodles” and “Tower-Spiced Pork Meatballs,” it will launch the “most aromatic ever” Mapo Tofu Rice starting August 8 at nine designated stores across Taiwan — a creative new way to enjoy spicy flavors by drizzling crispy fried chicken with tongue-numbing, spicy Mapo Tofu. It’s an appetite-whetting, rice-pairing delight.

The new “Mapo Xiangji Rice” uses richly numbing Sichuan Dahuapao peppercorns, simmered with a specially blended spicy sauce made from carefully selected seasonings. It’s then poured over tender tofu that soaks up the broth. Once boiling, a spoonful is ladled onto freshly steamed, piping-hot white rice, paired with a big bite of crispy-skinned, juicy Xiangxiang Fried Chicken. The result is an explosion of numbing spice and fragrant peppercorn aroma that has you reaching for bite after bite.

In addition to the single serving of “Mapo Xiangji Rice” priced at NT$120, there’s also a NT$155 set meal that includes a refreshing drink. The set contains this talked-about new item “Mapo Xiangji Rice” as well as the palate-soothing “Premium Plum Juice,” offering a delightful contrast of heat and coolness. The lingering numbing aroma at the end of the taste experience lingers on the tongue, making it truly memorable.

Since “spiciness” itself has stress-relieving and beauty-enhancing benefits, Jiguang Xiangxiang Chicken is targeting female office workers — one of its key consumer groups — as well as spice-loving foodies. With a focus on multi-layered “aroma” and “numbness,” it offers a satisfying, flavor-packed light main dish that showcases the diverse creative ways to enjoy Xiangxiang Fried Chicken. It also provides an affordable, filling main option during peak dining hours.
