Seriously, now you can eat live Boston lobsters at Fengjia Night Market k8!! Taiwan’s night markets are truly creative, hiding untold gems—selling anything and everything without surprise. Everyone knows that Taichung’s Fengjia Night Market is famous far and wide, and many of Taiwan’s trendiest street foods originated here. This Yijiang Shao Iron Plate Cuisine is one such spot that has brought upscale teppanyaki to the night market at accessible prices, letting everyone enjoy high-grade seafood and beef teppanyaki. The ingredients are fresh and luxurious, showing true commitment. The young entrepreneur-owner strongly recommends the original flavor, fearless of inspection—the ingredients are so fresh they need little seasoning to shine. Now, the boss is pulling out all the stops by serving live Boston lobsters!! Reservations now open, with only 12 lobsters available daily. One order is just 688 TWD, with two ways to enjoy: original sweet flavor or cheesy grilled delight. With such great value, you no longer have to go far for premium lobster—Fengjia Night Market has it all!!

Today I took Feitianxuan’s little chubby peach out for a stroll around Fengjia Night Market—weekdays really do have fewer crowds.

Little chubby peach is over the moon whenever she goes out shopping, just as playful and food-loving as her mom.

This is the very Yijiang Shao Iron Plate Cuisine located in the bento street area of Fengjia Night Market. I wrote about it once before when it had just opened—not long ago. For the previous article, see:Here

It has a bold design with a strong Japanese flair. The little stall is thoughtfully designed and full of character. They offer just a few items, but each one is a classic. The focus is mainly on seafood and beef.

These big scallops and prawns are visibly fresh in color.

The large scallops are even “sushi-grade”! Sashimi-grade scallops require this safety certification sticker to prove their authenticity.

Because the ingredients are so fresh, they’re usually just lightly seasoned after cooking—with Himalayan rose salt, freshly ground black pepper, and salted scallions. The boss also recommends the original flavor to best enjoy the natural sweetness of the ingredients. Normally, teppanyaki with this grade of ingredients wouldn’t come cheap, but because Yijiang Shao cuts overhead by moving from a storefront to a night market stall, the same premium ingredients and cooking methods are offered at much lower prices. With savings on rent, the cost is passed directly to customers—you can enjoy high-end seafood and beef for just one or two hundred TWD.

The cooked seafood is aromatic—just a sprinkle of Himalayan rose salt, freshly ground black pepper, and salted scallions enhances the flavors. The scallops are sashimi-grade, so even simple preparation makes them incredibly delicious—crispy yet tender, sweet and fragrant... A friend also ordered the extra-small beef portion, but since I can’t eat beef, I can’t comment on the texture XD The large prawns are, needless to say, always a favorite with their sweet, firm texture. The grilled salmon, rich in fat and tender, is something I always get—so juicy. Even little chubby peach loves it.

Ta-da ta-da ta-da~~~ The boss battle begins!! Are you kidding me—live Boston lobsters at the night market k8?? Isn't that a bit too fancy?? And they're even alive!! Now just 688 TWD, enough for two or three friends to share. Only 12 available daily, but advance reservation is required to get the live ones. This is literally selling at a loss!! Honestly, this price barely covers costs, so the boss can only handle 12 orders a day as a labor of love XDD.

To prove they’re really alive and kicking, I even filmed a video for everyone.

Freshly killed—how impressive!!!

That claw is huge—I bet there's tons of meat inside XD

Oh~~~ Look at that roe and those springy-looking lobster meats.... So fatty and luscious!!

The sizzling sounds during cooking are simply irresistible—they’re the prelude to deliciousness.

It needs a bit more steaming to keep the juices in.

It's done done done~~~~ I can smell that sweet ocean aroma filling the air—oh my god, it’s been ages since I’ve had a lobster this big, I can’t wait!!

It’s recommended to try the original flavor first—enjoy the plump, sweet roe and Q-textured, succulent lobster meat. No seasoning needed at all—the meat naturally carries the sea’s briny taste, which highlights its sweetness. The tender yet firm meat is rich and elastic—an absolute delicacy.

Little chubby peach also loved it.

Aside from the original flavor, you can also have the other half of the lobster prepared as cheesy grilled. Two ways to enjoy one lobster—original and cheesy, both flavors in one go. After grilling, the cheese melts into the lobster meat, and the rich, creamy aroma becomes even more irresistible. Especially the roe—when combined with cheese, it gains a milky fragrance and layered complexity!! Some people avoid the roe due to its strong fishy taste, but with cheese added, you’ll definitely fall in love.

Stringiness is a must!! Original sweet flavor, rich cheesy taste—each offers a different texture. No need to choose—have both and enjoy it all.

Seafood lovers, you no longer have to go far for premium teppanyaki seafood. Who says you can’t get high-end teppanyaki at the night market? Who says night markets only serve snacks? Come to Fengjia Night Market and you’ll find it all—even giant Boston lobsters!! Reservations now open, 12 lobsters available per day, just 688 TWD per order. Go while the boss is still in a generous mood—otherwise, once he stops taking losses, it might be gone for good XDDD
