The most famous dumpling shop in the South Airport Night Market is Lai Lai Dumplings, but I personally think that Xiu Chang Dumplings are just as good in terms of texture!

This time, I arrived too late to order their chives dumplings, only managing to get the yellow chive dumplings. I found out that the chives dumplings are usually only served until around 3 PM—if you want to eat them, you might have to go early.

The yellow chive dumplings are flat and large on the outside, but surprisingly, the filling is solid and full when you bite into it. When you take a bite, a lot of sweet meat juice is released in your mouth, and they also have a great chewy texture! Personally, I really think they rival the dumplings over at Lai Lai.

Their side dishes also come in generous portions; the only downside is that there aren't clear signs or menus indicating the prices.

I have to mention a downside—the dining layout here is very chaotic and cramped. You have to order the side dishes and dumplings from different places. Also, the cleanliness of the dining area isn’t any better for indoor dining, and due to the crowd, I always sweat a little when I see staff carrying hot soup/ingredients. The only advantage of dining in is probably the air conditioning!

❤️ One of the three major dumpling shops at the South Night Market, Xiuchang Dumplings, is famous for its chive dumplings, which have a unique texture and flavor. It is usually frequented by locals (and those who don't like to wait in line).

📍 This place is located in the front section of the South Night Market. The shop provides many seats (approximately accommodating 30-40 people), but there are no restrooms available; you can use the restrooms at the caring vendors in the night market for free.

🚗 If driving, it's recommended to park at the nearby Xinhe Garden Station (40 TWD/hour), or a bit farther at the Juguang multi-story parking lot (20 TWD/hour) and the Xinhe Elementary School underground parking lot (30 TWD/hour).

🏍️ Motorbikes are suggested to park in the motorcycle parking spaces in front of Zhongyi Elementary School or in nearby alleys.

💬 Among the three major dumpling shops at the South Night Market, most tourists choose Lai Lai Dumplings, but today I came to the more locally favored Xiuchang Dumplings, and I’m too lazy to wait in line; if there’s a long line at Lai Lai, I basically wouldn’t want to eat there.

Xiuchang is basically just one TWD cheaper than Lai Lai (previously it was 0.5 TWD cheaper).

During regular working hours, it’s hard to get chive dumplings; the service is friendly, dumplings are made fresh to order, the filling is plentiful, but the skin is a bit thicker (I personally like thicker skins more), and the broth is robust. The point is, the owner remembers what customers order, even when there are many of them, which I think is quite impressive...
