Reviews
Kaiyuan Snack is a well-established restaurant in the Yechiu tribe, suitable for various types of diners. Whether you have a group looking to share dishes or a smaller party wanting individual fried rice or fried noodles with some sides, there's no problem.
Here you can enjoy local ingredients from Orchid Island. Although the freshness is just average, it's still a good option. For example, we ordered the cold octopus salad, and the portion was really generous—only 300 TWD for a plate, which is not expensive. Unfortunately, it probably came from frozen, so the texture was a bit tough.
Lover's tears are also a very local ingredient from Orchid Island. They are a type of algae that grow abundantly after rain and are a great choice for adding to dishes. Additionally, the fried noodles I ordered were also served in a huge portion, and if two girls came to eat, they might not even finish it.
Lastly, the advantage of this place is that it often opens for business, so there's no need to worry about not being able to eat here due to off-peak tourist seasons—it's a great dining spot for the local community.
