This restaurant offers authentic Tainan cuisine, and the rice cake and fish ball soup are must-orders. The rice cake, paired with fish floss, pickled cucumbers, and slightly sweet soy sauce paste, has an excellent flavor. The fish ball soup is a perfect combination of fish balls and fish skin, highly recommended.
The restaurant has two floors and its operating hours are similar to those of shops in Tainan, starting at 5:30 in the morning. It is always full, especially during lunchtime.
Tainan traditional-style mullet fish porridge is a popular authentic Tainan eatery in Taipei. It is always full of customers on both floors, especially during lunchtime. It starts operating at 5:30 AM and continues until 2:30 PM, just like many shops in Tainan. It's a quintessential Tainan establishment.
Every time I go, I order Tainan rice cake + fish ball soup. The rice cake consists of glutinous rice + minced meat sauce + fish floss + pickled cucumber + no meat juice = perfect Tainan rice cake. The fish ball soup is a mixed soup with fish balls + fish skin, enhanced with wasabi and Tainan's slightly sweet soy sauce paste. It's a perfect match. This is my favorite Tainan-flavored shop—simple, authentic, and delicious.
