Located in the center of Beipu Old Street, "Ding Hao Snack" has an excellent location, bustling with activity, and the quaint little shops intertwine with tourist crowds, creating a strong Hakka atmosphere. This time, the usual place had a long line, so I decided to try this one instead.

"Dried Noodles with Pickled Vegetable and Shredded Pork ($70)"
They used Hakka oil noodles, which are quite standard overall. The ratio of pickled vegetables to shredded pork is good, but the flavor is acceptable but not impressive to me.

"Dry Wonton Noodles ($85)"
The noodles are Q (chewy) and smooth, with a rich soy sauce flavor, and the wontons are packed solidly. Although I personally prefer fried noodles, this bowl of dry noodles is still of high quality.

"Pork Ball Soup ($40)"
The pork balls are delicious, being from Hsinchu's pork ball boundary (pork balls from anywhere else in Taiwan tend to lose their taste). They are firm and juicy, and the soup has added celery and cilantro to enhance the flavor!

"Braised Pork Rice ($40)"
This is a Hakka-style minced pork rice, mainly composed of lean meat. The sauce color isn't deep but has a strong garlic aroma. Garlic lovers might want to order this.

"Blanched Greens"
Chinese broccoli, simply drizzled with braising sauce and a bit of minced pork.

"Taiwanese Pickled Vegetables"
Slightly sour, typical Taiwanese pickled vegetables.

"Boneless Oily Chicken"
The texture is tender, but the portion is slightly small and cut into smaller pieces, leaving me a bit unsatisfied.

Overall, "Ding Hao Snack" is a good pit stop to try when you’re tired walking around Beipu Old Street.
