東大門來成烤肉

Located in Hualien's Dongdaemun Night Market, "Laicheng BBQ" is a snack stall that specializes in various grilled skewers. It’s easy to find, and the dining area is relatively spacious. The owner is quite friendly and knows how to greet customers; if you ask her anything, she responds warmly without showing impatience.

This time, I ordered a few classic skewers such as chicken hearts, seven-layer fragrance (a type of herb), beef skewers, and chicken skewers. To be honest, my impression after eating was a bit vague, which indicates that these skewers didn’t leave much of a lasting memory. The flavors were rather ordinary. The chicken hearts and seven-layer herb seasoning were at a standard level, but there weren't really any standout features worth mentioning.

What I would recommend more is their salted pork. This dish left a stronger impression on me; it was grilled just right, full of salty and savory flavor, and very satisfying. Those who enjoy stronger flavors will probably love it. Additionally, their sweet and spicy fish cake was unexpectedly good, with a slightly crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior, making it a great snack to pair with beer.

In terms of pricing, it’s quite reasonable—not too expensive but not cheap either, fitting within the normal range for night market barbecues. Overall, it’s not amazing, but also not disappointing; it’s just a small place where you can sit down, eat well, and enjoy your meal.
