🎉 Taoyuan's Artistic Taiwanese Snacks 🎉

🎉 Free unlimited iced tea for dine-in 🎉

Recently opened in Zhudong and Miaoli, the artistic Taiwanese brand: Pig 15 ✌️ has come to Taoyuan 🤤. The restaurant specializes in Taiwanese snacks and military village noodles, but with an artistic style that brings a new element to noodle shops‼️ Breaking the old feel of traditional snacks ☺️.

I arrived at the scene at 10:50 today—partly to make it easier for taking photos and partly because new restaurants tend to have more crowds 😆. There aren’t many seats inside, about a dozen tables for two or four, but because the space is somewhat narrow, it feels a bit crowded between seats 😂.

There were many people in line on-site; whether dining in or taking out, you have to wait longer during meal times 🥲.

Braised Pork Rice (75 NT$):

It looks very flavorful and delicious 🤤. The fatty part is very tender and tasty 😋, but the lean part seems a bit dry—like it didn't soak up the braising sauce, as if it had dried out on top. However, the separately ordered braised pork did not have this issue 😳.

Pepper Chicken Soup + Pig Stomach (75 + 40 NT$):

As soon as the chicken soup arrived 🤤, it was full of pepper aroma, and the broth has a slightly gelatinous texture, making it very tasty. The chicken leg is quite large 😳. Just when I thought I couldn't see the added pig stomach, when I scooped to the bottom of the bowl, the portion was also quite generous. This soup is highly recommended 👍👍👍.

Large Wonton Noodle (95 NT$):

The restaurant offers both large and small wontons, with a price difference of ten NT$, and we chose the large one. The wonton is the size of a Wenzhou large wonton, providing a satisfying bite 😋. The noodles are also available in thin and thick types, I chose thin noodles, but the noodle part was not particularly impressive, and the onion oil aroma was lacking a bit. The flavor is clearer and milder, but for those who like lighter tastes, it can be chosen 😂.

Lu Wei Platter (65 NT$):

It includes pig ears, braised eggs, dried tofu, and kelp. The pig ears were okay, the kelp was flavorful and tender, but I’m not sure what happened with the braised egg; the cut surface is quite dry. Maybe it’s been sitting out a bit too long? 😅

To summarize:

I think the food is actually quite good 😋, but they may need to pay attention to quality control; being a new shop, they might overlook many things 🥲. Also, although there is air conditioning inside, it’s not cool enough, so the dining experience can feel a bit stuffy 😅. However, there is free lemon iced tea and fresh lemonade available for dine-in 👍.
