Shaoxing Chicken — An Unconventional Hot Pot from Guangdong
The first business to introduce cuisine from Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, in Taiwan, emphasizing flavors and cooking styles that transition “from heavy to light, from dry to moist.” Using a special sauce, chicken, rice cakes, and vegetables are braised and simmered, then stirred together before eating. Add toppings according to personal preference, then pour in the broth. The unique seasoning pairs perfectly with rice, making it ideal for sharing with friends.

Lin Dongfang Beef Noodles — A Beloved Urban Favorite
Ever since opening, whether it’s mealtime or not, the place has always been bustling with customers. With around 30 years in business, the owner maintains daily freshly made noodles, beef stewed for at least 6–7 hours, and tendons boiled for over 12 hours, along with a unique broth. The beef-flavored braised dried tofu is also a must-order side dish favored by insiders.

Kitamura-ya — Late-Night Delights from Kansai, Japan
Opened in February 2010, this eatery combines the life experience of Mr. Kitamura Toyoharu in Taiwan over the years with the culinary skills of his father, a former chef at a local Japanese golf club, and his mother, an expert in home-style cooking. Together, they’ve created this restaurant. Not only does it emphasize ingredient quality, but it also pays great attention to cooking methods. For example, the filling for the korokke (Japanese croquette) takes half a day to prepare, and the sauce for the braised beef tongue is simmered with beef tendons and vegetables for seven days.

Achun Congee Shop — A Perfect Harmony of Rice and Broth
Passed down to the third generation and operating for nearly 50 years, it’s one of the signature dishes in Yan San Night Market. The broth is made by simmering big bones, vegetables, and mushrooms, and the rice is directly cooked from unpolished Guanshan rice into congee. It has a texture similar to rice in soup—each grain distinct yet slightly soft and smooth, with a delicious flavor. Pair it with a few side dishes, and you’ll be thoroughly satisfied.
