The roasted chicken, barbecued duck, honey-glazed char siu, and sausage in the four treasures rice all performed exceptionally. The roasted chicken has smooth skin and tender meat, the barbecued duck has crispy skin, and the honey-glazed char siu is sweet and fragrant.
As a takeout-oriented roast meat shop, the in-store environment is relatively simple, primarily consisting of styrofoam boxes and stocked ingredients.
The Long Ji Roast Meat Taipei Nangang store is located on Xiangyang Road in the Nangang District and specializes in takeout dishes of Hong Kong-style roast meat.
This time, I took out the Four Treasures Rice, priced at 160 NTD.
Four Treasures Rice:
The oil chicken has smooth skin and tender meat, with a flavorful sauce that isn't overly salty, and it doesn’t dry out when cold.
The roast duck skin is crispy and has a pronounced duck fat aroma, though there are quite a few bones.
The honey-glazed char siu is distinctly sweet with slightly charred edges, while the sausage is cut thick in the Hong Kong style, offering a solid texture.
The side dishes are quite standard; the vegetables and shredded bamboo shoots are a bit mild, but they do a good job of balancing out the richness of the meal.
The portion of white rice is quite sufficient, with each grain distinct, perfectly complementing the generous meat and sauce. This meal is still quite satisfying.
The accompanying chili is a pleasant surprise; a small packet full of aroma with notable heat that lingers.
Overall, it’s a Hong Kong-style roast meat takeout shop with generous portions. The prices are on the higher side, but the Four Treasures are genuinely satisfying.
However, since it is primarily a takeout place, the environment is not exquisite, filled with foam boxes and stockpiled ingredients.
While I believe the shop’s takeout boxes are quite thoughtful, the temperature and texture of the food are still limited by the takeout packaging.
This might detract from the enjoyment for those who prefer freshly sliced and eaten dishes.
I recommend it to everyone.
