清河鵝肉
📍 Shilin District, Taipei City (near Tianmu Takashimaya/Shidong Market)
A roadside garage eatery centered around "goose meat" 🦢🥄
Since the first time I ate at this eatery almost a year ago, I've become a regular 🤤
The environment is clean, the service is friendly and enthusiastic, and the food is fresh and impressive.

Menu items:
🍗 Goose leg in brine ($310 for two people; market price):
This dish can be ordered either in brine or smoked and is extremely popular—often out of stock if you arrive late.
I remember when I first ordered, I had asked for the goose breast, but the enthusiastic staff recommended the goose leg as being even tastier 🤣 Since then, I've only ordered the leg.
When taking orders, the staff will ask how many people are eating; the prices for goose legs for two typically range between $250-$350.
The portion of the goose leg is quite ample, and the meat is cut into decent-sized pieces (some specialty goose meat shops in Taipei cut it very thin, affecting the texture). I love the rich, fatty skin of the goose; the meat is also very juicy, and the saltiness from the brine is just right, making dipping sauce unnecessary—it’s truly delicious 🫶🏻
🥢 Dry noodles ($45 for small):
The noodles are not overcooked and still have a bit of firmness in the center.
The key is that they use goose oil to toss the noodles—super fragrant! Very appetizing.
💧 Goose oil mixed rice ($30 for small):
Goose oil with white rice is just a perfect match! Be careful, as the saltiness at the bottom may be a bit high and needs to be mixed well.
🍄
Would I revisit: Yes!
I really recommend it 🥰 It’s my top choice when I want to eat at a snack shop lately—probably craving it about once a month.

Notes:
🔸 Cash only 💰
🔸 It’s best to arrive right when they open, or else it's really easy to find the goose meat sold out 💔
