"I suddenly feel like smoked braised snacks could replace snacks for a craving? They taste even better than I imagined." by Sister
<About the Meal 🥣>
Since I was missing a food review, I thought I’d buy something on the way home to try. At that moment, I passed by the smoked braised snack place I had visited before, and I bought chicken gizzards and tofu to try.
The chicken gizzards don’t actually have much flavor; they taste quite mild and don’t need to be paired with rice. Plus, their crispy texture makes them really feel like eating snacks! 🤣
The tofu part is pretty good, with a slightly spicy sensation that pairs perfectly with rice. It looks like they added some bean paste, making it very flavorful overall.
<About the Staff 👨🍳>
The staff is quite patient and pays a lot of attention to cleanliness; they always wear gloves when handling food.
<About the Environment 🐾>
Located near the Luodong Night Market, the shop isn’t very noticeable; you might not discover it even if you ride a scooter or walk past! 🤣
Thank you Fooday🥳 for inspiring me to try more different foods 🍽
🚩Location🧭
Located at the intersection of Gongyi Road and Zhongmei Street in the West District of Taichung City, near Qimei Greenway.
🪑About the overall atmosphere🎡
Yu Mao Wu is probably a top-quality Japanese supermarket that only local Taichung residents know about. I think there used to be another branch that closed down; now only this Gongyi store remains, which carries the memories of Taichung residents from childhood (I hope it doesn't close down!). They sell many items that you can't find outside, mainly Japanese imported products, although they aren't cheap. There are also many ready-to-eat meals, sushi, bento, etc. The space is spacious, and there’s an in-house parking lot where spending can offset parking fees.
💰About prices and meals💰
Karaage Chicken Bento $188
The same main dish has multiple side dishes to choose from. I chose amaranth, cabbage, eggplant, and half a braised egg; each bento box specifies that it uses Japanese rice. The chicken skin is quite thick, and the meat is tender, but it's slightly over-battered. The vegetables are very mild, including the eggplant, which has little seasoning; I highly recommend this if you like light flavors. However, the downside is that you may need to reheat it at home, or eat it quickly after buying, because I didn't eat it right away and so the chicken ended up being cold, which was just a little disappointing.
🤨Conclusion♥
The other pork ribs and large chicken legs also look delicious, along with the nearby sushi and braised dishes; I just hope that Yu Mao Wu can continue to operate well so that I have the opportunity to revisit and try other flavors.
❤️ A braised dish shop that always has many customers, usually a place to eat when the oden shop is closed.
Overall rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
📍 This place is located in the Southern Airport Night Market, slightly on the outskirts (Alley 313). There are no indoor seating or restrooms available.
🚗 If driving, it's recommended to park at the nearby Xinhe Courtyard Station (40 TWD/hour), or at the further Jiuguang Multi-story Parking Lot (20 TWD/hour) and Xinhe Elementary School underground parking lot (30 TWD/hour).
🏍️ Motorcycles can be parked temporarily in front of the shop.
💬 What I love most about this braised dish is that it's not just simply boiled food; they also use special sauces and pickled vegetables, along with green onions for seasoning. If you didn’t know, you might think you're eating salty water chicken. If you like spicy flavors, you can ask the owner for some special chili sauce. However, since everything is cooked to order, you'll need to wait a little while. Additionally, if you want to order vegetables, just let the owner know (the cabbage outside is just for decoration).

(However, since all the braised dishes are mixed together and there is no indoor seating, the dining area is quite far, so I won’t be taking individual photos.)
RT-Mart Fresh Food Market is located on the first floor of the IKEA Neihu store in Section 1, Jiuzong Road.
This store used to be the Neihu No. 1 store of RT-Mart, but now the RT-Mart Neihu is familiar with is the Neihu No. 2 store.
This development history seems a bit complicated, so I won’t go into details here.
Today we enjoyed California garlic roasted large chicken drumsticks, crispy fried bone-in-bone drumsticks, American beef shank and German pork trotters, which cost about 500 yuan in total.
The ordering method is somewhat similar to IKEA's Swedish restaurant.
You will first get the cart, tray and dinner plate, and then follow the guide all the way forward, picking up meals on the way. The staple food is ordered manually.
Final checkout.
Because of the typhoon, I couldn't eat all the staple food, which was actually a bit disappointing.
And we only discovered this after we had picked up the dinner plates, so we had to take two chicken drumsticks and look for food at other counters on the first floor.
The fresh food store is divided into seats and aisle sides. I won’t go into details on the seat side. The aisle side in the opposite direction is full of fresh food that is packaged and can be taken away directly.
The store clerk suggested that we check out the aisle side and buy some so we can eat them together.
Perhaps because of the typhoon, the items were all marked with discounts for sale.
California Garlic Grilled Chicken Thighs:
The roasted garlic flavor and gravy are both very good, the chicken legs are roasted very thoroughly, and the aroma of the roasted thin skin is irresistible.
Thin crispy fried bone leg:
The crispy skin of the chicken legs is quite delicious and the inside is quite juicy.
For example, the large chicken drumsticks of the famous Neapolitan fried chicken are often eaten with dry skin and dry meat.
So then I only ate Neapolitan grilled chicken.
American Beef Tendon Cutting Plate:
Seasoned with spicy bean paste, the beef tendon slices are quite thick, and the texture of the meat and tendons is quite good.
German Pork Knuckle Cutting Plate:
In addition to the pork shank itself, there are also some side dishes.
The sauerkraut has a nice texture and sourness, reminding me of the German sauerkraut that Costco sold a long time ago (unfortunately, it was discontinued as it was not to the liking of Taiwanese people), while the other side dishes are more subtle.
Overall, I will visit again after the typhoon passes. There are still many interesting dishes in terms of staple food.
I think this is one of the few classified stores in Fooday that can use a deli center.
Recommended to everyone.
Visitor center next to Changhong Bridge in Hualien.
The complex dining center is decorated with a large amount of wood to create a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere.
When you walk in here, you will immediately feel the design of a Japanese hotel. It is classified as a "visitor center", but there is a personal restaurant, allowing travelers to feel completely relaxed.
The store has small items designed by young people that you can browse and check out.
Use design and incorporate local features. There is also millet wine available for purchase.
Today I ordered Guitou Dao dumplings, which are very unique and have thin skin and full filling. The dumplings here are juicy, fragrant and delicious.
The set meal comes with three side dishes (tomatoes, pumpkin slices, and sea vegetables), all of which are very unique.
The Americano coffee is delicious and mellow in the mouth.
Paired with the sea view outside, it will slow down time.
Friends can sit here for half a day without any problem.
Thanks Fooday🥳 for making me want to try more different foods🍽

🪑About the overall atmosphere🎡
The open buffet area has a variety of cooked food. When I saw the words "Grandma's Bento" on the side, it immediately attracted my attention. Most of the others were braised food or fried food and I wasn't interested in it.
💰The part about price💰
The price is listed above at 79, and another one is posted with a special price of 69, which looks like a very good deal.
🍴About the meal☕
After opening the bento, it turned out that there was a plastic plate to sort the side dishes neatly. The side dishes included eggplant, cabbage + red pepper, enoki mushrooms, etc. The main dish should be considered barbecued pork? Not sure, but the whole thing tasted very greasy. I almost vomited before I finished the meal. I didn't expect that a good name could be ruined by this cooking method; I don't understand why every dish is so oily. Only cabbage is less oily than other main dishes + side dishes. The dishes are all filled with oil, and there is no other experience.
🤨Conclusion♥
In short, I will never buy this grandma’s bento again. You have ruined grandma’s reputation! ! You can try braised food next time, it won’t be so oily!
Hello everyone, I am A Wei, a Zhongli foodie.
Since I got fooday, I want to find new restaurants to introduce to everyone every day.
The corresponding meal expenses have also been increasing.
I went to eat with my mother today. We didn’t order many dishes but the portions weren’t big either.
Order the following dishes today
Ancient style rice noodle soup NT$40
It's quite good, but my mother finds it too salty.
Ecstasy duck meat rice 85 yuan
This time I ordered the ecstasy duck rice. The ecstasy here and the ecstasy rice here refer to the difference between barbecued pork and onions.
Their symbol is half-boiled eggs, which are half-boiled and filled with egg liquid. In fact, half-boiled eggs really add a lot of points to this bowl of rice.
The moist and tender duck slices go well with the white rice, and there are crispy cucumbers on the side to relieve the tiredness.
Super evil half-boiled eggs. The egg whites are deep-fried until they are crispy and fragrant. Use chopsticks to poke them lightly and the half-boiled egg yolk will flow out. It is great when mixed with rice.
The duck meat in Ecstasy Duck Rice is cut into strips, which is similar to shredded duck rice. It also tastes good. The duck meat is tender and moist.
The rice has distinct grains, and there is oil on the bottom, which will make people continue to eat the rice.
Cauliflower 40 yuan
Cauliflower a little less
Fried tofu 35 yuan
For the side dishes, I randomly ordered cauliflower and fried tofu. Personally, I think you can skip their side dishes. Just order the Ecstasy series here.
Pickled cucumbers 35 yuan
Hello everyone, I am A Wei, a Zhongli foodie.
Since having fooday, I have been looking for new restaurants to introduce to everyone every day, and the cost of meals has also been increasing.
Today, I met up with friends to chat and walk in Taoyuan. My friend just got off work and it was already past 9 o'clock. My friend hadn't eaten yet. As we were walking, we saw a 24-hour store. My friend was hungry and came in to eat.
We ordered the following
Some forgot to take pictures
Winter Melon Pork Ribs Crispy Noodles 80_The soup is good and you can choose yellow/white noodles.
Rice cake 35_ I don’t recommend it, it’s just higher than the uniform pudding.
The portion of dry noodles 40_ is OK, the meat is a bit smelly, and you can’t choose yellow/white noodles on the menu.
The scallion pancake 35_ was fairly crispy, not too special.
The bitter melon and pork rib soup costs 50_ for a small cup, and the CP value is not as impressive as other types of pork rib soup that can add noodles.
Corn Fried Dumplings 65_ It feels like frying Shengfu dumplings from the opposite side. The crispy layer is a bit too thin and the chewing is not chewy enough.
Overall, the environment is quite clean. There is no air conditioning in the corner. I would like to praise it for being open 24 hours a day. We middle-aged uncles who can't find anything to eat will still come here to eat again.
Alot of shops to choose from. They are famous for their nasi kandar and their duck rice and tua pan (sa hor pan) is tasty as well. There is also nyonya kuih for dessert. However, not all the shops are good. Give the wan tan mee a miss as its a dissapointment and would rate it 1 star.
