洪家回春堂鹽酥雞 新竹南寮分堂(樹林頭夜市攤位）

Located in the bustling Shulin Night Market, Hong's Jiahuichung Hall - Nanzhi Branch - Shulin is my "only designated" spot every time I visit the night market. Whether taking food home to enjoy while watching a show or eating while strolling, it's my favorite. There are also many drink shops nearby to easily quench your thirst.

"Boneless Salted Crispy Chicken"
Fried until golden and crispy, the meat is tender and juicy, complemented by basil and onions that add a rich aroma and layered flavor. It's incredibly satisfying to eat.

"Fried Tofu Puff"
This was a big surprise! I've only had raw tofu puffs before, but I didn't expect the fried version to be so delicious. The first bite has a slight burst of juice! It carries a subtle medicinal aroma, fried to a crisp yet moist texture, making it the most impressive dish this time!

"Chicken Butt"
This dish also performs well—crispy and fragrant without being greasy, but unfortunately, the portion is a bit small, leaving me wanting more.

"Squid Balls"
Surprisingly, there is a hint of creaminess; I have had many squid balls before, but this is the first time I've encountered this flavor. It's chewy and rich, leaving a lasting impression.

"Fried Chicken Feet"
The skin is crispy and has a rich gelatinous texture. A pack contains three; I recommend one pack per person as it is just too delicious! It's been a long time since I've had decent chicken feet; those who enjoy this texture will absolutely love it!

Overall, this place is truly a hidden gem in the night market. Every visit requires a wait in line, and when I went around 21:40 before, they had sold out. I suggest going early to buy, or else you'll just be waiting and drooling!
