📍Shilin District, Taipei City (Shilin MRT Station)
A delightful sauerkraut fish dish for one person🐟

Whenever I take the MRT, I am always drawn to this bright sign.

This place specializes in meals for one, and you don't even need to communicate with the staff. You can use the self-order machine to place your order and make your payment. Rice and drinks are self-serve, eat as much as you like!

🥘
Menu items:
🍋 Lemon and Green Pepper Fish (Value Size) ($248):
Here, the sauerkraut fish comes in three sizes: mini, value, and large. When you're really hungry, I recommend going for the value size; it's just right.

This is the first time I've tasted a lemon-based broth, and the acidity of the lemon is quite strong—if you can't handle sour flavors, this isn't for you.

The broth contains a variety of ingredients; the fish pieces are smaller but very tender. It also includes slices of pork, baby bok choy, Korean rice cakes, and glass noodles.

🤩 Golden Broth Sauerkraut Fish (Value Size) ($258):
This version is a more commonly found sauerkraut fish flavor. It's quite similar to the traditional taste but less sour and with slightly higher spiciness.

🍄
Would I visit again? Yes!
The flavors exceeded my expectations, and it’s really suitable for eating alone.

"I'm hungry, I'm hungry! I heard a colleague say they wanted to eat sauerkraut fish, which reminded me of all the sauerkraut fish I saw on my phone earlier, so I decided to give it a try."

<About the meal🥣>
I ordered a spicy sauerkraut fish. The soup was very salty, but the spiciness wasn’t painful; instead, it gave a numbing sensation to my tongue as soon as I swallowed the soup. The fish was very tender, making me want to order another serving of fish to continue enjoying it. If you can’t or don’t dare to eat spicy food, I personally recommend the tomato-flavored sauerkraut fish.

<About the staff👨‍🍳>
The staff on site were very busy; I could even see their dishwashing area... but it was relatively clean.

<About the environment🐾>
The dining area was quite cramped, but it’s a paradise for food lovers. The white rice and drinks available were all delicious and enough to fill you up. The lighting and decor were very nice, making the dining experience very enjoyable. However, it’s a self-service ordering and payment restaurant, so if you come to eat, do pay attention to their ordering process.

Self-service checkout and dining in the store
I ordered a value-for-money fish with lemon and green peppercorns (248 yuan), and my friend who was traveling with me ordered a large portion of beef with pickled cabbage in golden soup (308 yuan). The seasoning was just right and the portion was large.

Next time I will consider ordering the mini portion😆, because I have a small appetite, this portion is still too full for me, and there is also unlimited rice and drinks, spicy radish, spicy cabbage, etc. that can be taken by yourself. Wait, girls who don’t eat much are recommended to order mini portions.
The fish is served with a lot of fresh and delicious ingredients, and the extra 30 yuan brown sugar beancurd tastes very good.
Overall, it's definitely worth it. It's rare to find pickled fish that can be eaten by one person. I will definitely visit again!
