Foodholic Niko @ Taipei

"Dong Shi Fresh Oysters" is located in the Yen San Night Market, about a 4-minute walk from the Daqiaotou Station. The main color of the sign and the interior decoration is light blue, making it quite noticeable in the night market.

We originally planned to eat the "Shi Family Fresh Meat Dumplings," recommended by Bib Gourmand, but seeing the long queue at the entrance was a bit intimidating. So we decided to randomly find a nearby restaurant to eat, and since "Dong Shi Fresh Oysters" seemed to be doing good business, we decided to try it.

When the restaurant is full, you need to register with the staff for a waiting list. There were three groups ahead of us, but the wait was pretty quick, about five minutes. Once seated and after ordering, the food came out fast, and we paid after eating. There are many mobile payment options, which is quite convenient.

Crispy Oyster Omelette $75
The outer skin and eggs are fried to a crispy texture, which is the kind of oyster omelette I love. There are plenty of oysters, and there's no fishy taste. The sauce is a bit orange, salty-sweet, and quite nice overall. It's delicious, though slightly pricey.

Oyster and Shrimp Fried Rice $100 (Large +$10)
We ordered it spicy, and while we saw some chili, it wasn't spicy at all; there were plenty of oysters and shrimp, especially the shrimp. However, I wish there were a bit more oysters. The flavor wasn't bad, but the fried rice was too moist for my liking. I prefer fried rice that is fluffy and distinct, so it didn't score high with me.

Pork Soup $80
It contained large chunks of pork, which were solid and not dry. The fatty parts were soft and chewy without being tough. The meat was quite tasty; the soup had a lot of ginger and what seemed like rice wine, and it tasted just as you would imagine.

❊Revisit Willingness: 🌝🌝🌝🌝🌚
❊Value for Money: 🌝🌝🌝🌝🌜

Today I want to introduce Dongshi Fresh Oysters located in the Yansan Night Market.
It has been newly renovated this year.
The indoor style is very cute, and the environment is clean and bright with no stinky seafood smell!

🗣️Shrimp and Oyster Omelette 💲85 🌝🌝🌝🌝🌜

The outer skin of the shrimp and oyster omelette is crispy!
There are plenty of shrimp and oysters.
The filling is soft and chewy, very just right, not overly mushy.
The sauce is moderately salty and sweet.

🗣️Abalone Seafood Congee 💲100 🌝🌝🌝🌝🌚

You really get to eat abalone in this seafood congee~~~
The congee is more like rice in soup.
It looks like a small bowl, but there are actually a lot of ingredients.
Two shrimp! Oysters, cuttlefish, abalone, etc.
100 yuan is quite a deal! 🤣

🗣️Oyster and Shrimp Fried Rice 💲100 🌝🌝🌝🌝🌚

Only kids choose!
I want to add everything into my rice 😤
This is my first time seeing this special combination.
The fried rice smells quite nice.

🗣️Noodle Soup with Satay Broth 💲100 🌝🌝🌝🌝🌜

Noodle soup with a satay broth, rich in seafood flavor.
The ingredients are somewhat similar to the seafood congee (minus the abalone).
It’s another dish that’s better than it looks.
So filling!

🗣️Stir-Fried Cuttlefish 🌝🌝🌝🌜🌚

You can taste the fresh sweetness of the cuttlefish!
The sauce is tangy and sweet.
It’s a bit refreshing, but my friends aren't used to this flavor.

🗣️Clam Soup 💲70 🌝🌝🌝🌝🌚

Clam soup has a very delicious broth 🫶
The clams are also fresh, not sandy at all!

📍 Located at Yansan Night Market, the Dongshi Oyster Shop has a more thematic décor after renovation and is doing quite well in business.

🍽️ Environment
After the renovation last year, the dining environment is much cleaner and has a more consistent design aesthetic, which is very different from the original traditional Taiwanese snack style. The air conditioning in the shop is quite cool, and it can accommodate around 30-40 people in total. In addition to cash, it also accepts various mobile payment options, and the food is served fairly quickly.

🍚 Dishes
▪️ Abalone Seafood Porridge $100
I ordered the abalone seafood porridge this time; overall, there is a good amount of seafood, and it’s quite fresh. The abalone is of the pen shell variety, along with fresh oysters, shrimp, clams, and squid. The broth is mild without heavy seasoning, highlighting the natural sweetness of the seafood; you can add some white pepper for extra flavor.
It's important to note that the porridge resembles more of a rice soup rather than the traditional type of congee, but it’s still pretty delicious.

😀 In summary, it’s a place I would occasionally visit. The fried rice and oyster omelet are also quite good, but sometimes the seafood portions can vary a bit, likely due to market price fluctuations.

Dongshi Oyster is located near Yansan Night Market and Daqiaotou MRT Station.
I went there for holiday dinner
Business is very good!
You still have to queue up to order, and you have to wait a while before you can get a seat.

1.Oyster Omelette
This fresh oyster is super big.
And there are many pieces in the whole portion👍🏻
It tastes very fresh and not fishy
The doneness of the pan-fried skin is also okay.
Not too soft~

2. Abalone seafood porridge
   In fact, it’s like white rice soaked in hot soup🤣
   It doesn’t feel like it’s cooked like porridge
   This porridge is rich in ingredients
   There are shrimps, abalone, shredded bamboo shoots, fresh oysters, flower branches, clams and mushrooms, etc.
   Abalone is very small🤣
   But the overall flavor is pretty good

3. Oyster, shrimp, egg fried rice🍤
   Does it taste like soy sauce?
   On the contrary, it smells like pepper ~ quite special
   Fried rice is the kind with more distinct grains.
   But this is a big dish and only costs $100
   One plate is enough to fill you up, no problem

4.Spineless milkfish belly soup🐟
The whole thing looks very healthy🤣
Milkfish has a lot of meat
There are some thorns
It tastes very nutritious
Then I feel like the soup has sesame oil in it.

5. Blanch fresh shrimp🦐
   There are 10 shrimps in total
   The shrimps are easy to peel but not too big.
   It tastes too fresh

6. Stir-fried vegetables🥬
   For green vegetables, you can choose from mainland Chinese cabbage or water spinach.
   Water spinach is a flavor that is often eaten

Overall I think it tastes pretty good
This time the portion size seems to have been ordered for three people🤣
