The bustling Rehe First Street gets packed during meal times, drawing locals from the neighborhood to dine here. A wide array of street snacks is available, and the food street stretches all the way to Jilin Night Market, making it the most densely packed food area near the back of the train station. We occasionally come here to catch a movie and usually end up having a meal as well. This time, we’re sharing with everyone a specialty fried rice shop called “A-Ge Fried Rice.” Don’t let the name mislead you—it’s actually a play on the English word for egg, making it catchy and easy to remember.

Next door is a stall selling traditional-style starfruit soup, and its bright yellow signboard should be easy to spot. Unlike typical snack shops, the lighting and ambiance here feel more like a proper restaurant, and there’s also powerful air conditioning.

The menu is quite long—Shadow only photographed the top half. Fried rice is the shop’s specialty, with a wide variety of flavors. You can customize your order with ketchup, cheese, or additional toppings to suit your taste, and you even get one free refill of rice. For students, it’s truly great value for money.

Teapots and utensils are placed in the same area, where complimentary black tea is available for unlimited refills.

Cantonese-style Fried Rice – NT$90

Our plate here didn’t include an extra portion of rice, but it still looked like a generous serving. The fried rice was fluffy and distinct, not greasy at all, and liberally seasoned with black pepper for extra flavor. If you don’t like black pepper, be sure to let the staff know when ordering.

The Cantonese-style fried rice also featured char siu (barbecued pork) for added flavor and aroma, along with the taste of eggs and black pepper. The savory rice made you want to keep eating bite after bite—absolutely delicious.

Taiwanese-style Fried Noodles – NT$60

These fried noodles were mainly seafood-based, using thick wheat noodles. There wasn’t too much seasoning to overpower the flavor—just a simple stir-fry with soy sauce, giving it a rustic taste.

Seafood Fried Instant Noodles – NT$70

According to the shop owner, this is the mildest-flavored option in their fried instant noodle series. There’s a whiff of instant noodle aroma in the air, and although it’s light in flavor, it’s distinct from the earlier traditional-style fried noodles. For those who enjoy a bit more variety, you can add some cheese.

Preserved Radish Omelet – NT$50

The preserved radish omelet was fluffy and well-cooked, showing that the heat was perfectly controlled. It had both egg fragrance and a slight crispiness, making it a perfect match for rice.

Clam Soup – NT$40

The clam soup was refreshing with hints of pepper and ginger, and the broth was smooth and easy to drink.

Fried rice is an absolute must-order here. Its taste really rivals that of famous fried rice specialty shops, and you can add cheese for a different texture. Most importantly, the free rice refill makes this an exceptional value. We definitely recommend sharing this gem with everyone. For those who love fried rice, add it to your must-try list—we highly recommend it.
