🌟 It is recommended to book the clay-jar chicken in advance.
🌟 Suitable for group gatherings, company parties, and shared meals.

"Longan Wood Clay Jar Chicken" is located on Chongdao Road in Tainan City's East District. The clay jar chicken is cooked using longan wood as fuel, which provides a unique flavor. The restaurant carefully selects naturally free-range mountain chickens. Upon entering the restaurant, you can see the stove, along with rows of pre-ordered chickens.

Longan Wood Clay Jar Chicken is an outdoor restaurant. If it rains, they will completely open the rain shelter, so you don't have to worry about getting wet. The restaurant has plenty of seating, with round and square tables that can accommodate about 70 to 80 people when fully seated. It’s not a problem to reserve the whole place for group gatherings or company parties; the only drawback is that there’s no air conditioning. 🤣

The restaurant menu is mainly categorized into signature dishes, grilled dishes, rice/noodle dishes, stir-fries, barbecues, vegetables, traditional dishes, and chicken soup. There are occasionally daily specials posted on a small board near the counter. The fridge is stocked with a large supply of beer for customers to help themselves.

Must-try dishes:
Clay Jar Chicken 💰650
This restaurant’s clay jar chicken is different from others, seasoned only with chicken fat and pepper, and served with fresh lettuce, lemon slices, and homemade scallion oil. This variety of seasoning allows you to create different flavors. The chicken, roasted in the clay jar, has crispy skin and juicy meat—eating it hot is truly delightful.

Salt Crispy Shrimp Balls 💰200
A must-have appetizer that is savory and chewy.

Salad with Chilled Bamboo Shoots 💰200
With summer here, chilled bamboo shoots are a must order! They are delicious with mayonnaise, crisp in texture, and very sweet.

Pineapple Shrimp Balls 💰220
I've tried many pineapple shrimp balls, and this one has the most familiar and satisfying crust compared to others I've had.

Bitter Melon Clams 💰180

Stream Shrimp 💰180
Perfect for accompanying drinks. 🤣
