Taichung Snacks: Home-style Stir-Fried Dishes

Because of the club, I’ve recently discovered a lot of B-grade gourmet food, and this place called “Home-Style Stir-Fried Dishes” located in Mofan is also something I found out about through recommendations from club members online... When I was writing this text, I realized there’s very little information about “Home-Style Stir-Fried Dishes” on the internet—it’s really a hidden gem in a back alley.

“Home-Style Stir-Fry” is located near the intersection of Model Street and Gongyi Road, just behind “Wuma Yakiniku”… When I went, it was around noon on a weekday, and the place was packed with customers, probably office workers having lunch… So I waited about 10–15 minutes to get a seat…

The dining space is right under the arcade. At noon, it’s packed with people, and it felt a bit awkward to take out my camera, but luckily I’m usually quick, decisive, and precise...

Finally, it was my turn... I don't know why, but I managed to take a blurry photo of the menu. I feel really sorry for the menu itself... Anyway, there were noodle dishes, congee, fried rice, and soups... The prices were quite reasonable, probably because they cater mainly to office workers.

I sat right in front of the cooking counter, watching the auntie cook rice from behind, and suddenly it felt very homely... Every dish is made to order, so you need to be patient when it’s crowded. Luckily, the auntie is very efficient, moving quickly, and she cooks popular dishes in batches, so you won’t have to wait too long for those.

Sesame Oil Pig Liver with Rice Noodles - 80 TWDNetizens recommend oyster vermicelli, but since I can’t eat oysters, I ordered a bowl of pig liver vermicelli... As soon as it was served, the aroma of sesame oil wafted over—so hungry!

If you can handle spicy food, feel free to add some chili peppers. It’s great we didn’t bring Little Cherry out for this food trip today — I can add as much spice as I want… (Do I sound like a heartless mom?)

The vermicelli isn’t overcooked; once it soaks in the bowl and absorbs the broth, the texture becomes more flavorful… though I think the portion of noodles is a bit too much—I can’t finish it all!

Pork liver—when it’s fresh, it’s really delicious, tender with a bit of a crisp bite… Just a suggestion: pork liver dishes are best eaten fresh, otherwise they can get dry if left too long!

The alcohol flavor isn’t very strong. For a sesame oil chicken dish, it’s about half the usual alcohol level... The ratio of sesame oil is well balanced—it has the aroma of sesame oil without being too greasy... A bowl of sesame oil pig liver like this in winter really warms both the body and the heart...

Attached is a photo posted by community member Xinhua Yang—I was totally sold by this one. These oysters are so full of heart. This “homestyle stir-fry” really has a personal touch and feels like home cooking. Every dish is stir-fried on the spot. Friends who love home-style food should definitely give it a try.
