This restaurant specializes in shrimp rice and eel soup, with the red-billed soup being particularly recommended. The broth is fresh and sweet, and the meat is tender and chewy. Paired with soft bone rice and braised intestine as side dishes, the flavors are rich and leave a lasting impression.
The seating in the restaurant is limited, and there is often a long line as soon as it opens. The business hours are only during dinner time, so it's necessary to prepare in advance.

🎉 Always Packed with People Since Opening 🎉
This Beigang eatery only serves dinner and is a great choice for many locals' evening meals. 😁 The shrimp rice is considered their main dish, while the loach fish soup is another signature item, just like the name of the restaurant. 🤩 But I came today for the red-billed soup. 😆
Soft Bone Rice:
I originally wanted to order the shrimp rice, but it was sold out right away. 🥲 So I had to settle for soft bone rice. It looked a bit plain 🥲 but the braised soft bone was flavorful, and the soft bone part was very tender and had a chewy texture, almost like gelatin. It paired really well with rice. 😋
Red-billed Soup: (Recommended by Xiaopang)
Usually, it's clam soup, but this one uses red-billed fish. 🤩 This soup is super fresh and sweet. 👍 Compared to clam soup, this feels like an upgraded version. 👏 The meat of the red-billed fish is even more chewy and has a better texture, which I really liked. 💕
Fried Tofu and Braised Intestines:
Both were very flavorful, especially the intestines, which were full of sauce aroma. ☺️ Dipping them in Beigang chili sauce made them especially delicious. 😚
Summary:
The loach fish head soup looked good too; I didn’t get to try it this time but will come back for it next time. I especially recommend the red-billed soup to you all because it’s rare to find it at other places. ☺️ Plus, this place often has long lines even before opening, and there aren’t many seats inside, so be prepared if you want to eat here. 😆
