The fish soup featured in the restaurant is very fresh, with a refreshing broth that has a natural sweetness, making it even better when paired with the meat sauce rice. The fried fish skin is crispy and tasty, although it's slightly salty. Overall, the meals are simple yet satisfying, and the prices are reasonable.
"Peng Kang Fresh Fish Soup" is located on Cultural Road in Yongkang, Tainan. This place feels a bit magical to me. One night, while browsing Google Maps looking for something to eat, I unexpectedly clicked on this restaurant and found out that I had previously given it a five-star review, but completely forgot about its existence! Since it’s such a well-reviewed restaurant that I had forgotten about, I decided to give it another try. After this visit, I would rate it around 4.5 stars; it’s definitely quite good.
The signature fish soup features very fresh fish, and the broth is refreshing with a hint of sweetness, without any fishy smell, making it quite pleasant to drink. Paired with a bowl of minced pork rice, the sauce isn’t too greasy and complements the fish soup well, making it above-average in deliciousness. If you spend over 200 NT dollars, they also give you a plate of vegetables, which seems reasonable in terms of pricing. I remember that in the past, spending over 100 NT dollars would earn a plate of vegetables too; I wonder if I’m mistaken, but with rising prices, I can understand the change. Last time, I wanted to order fried dough sticks, but I recall that they were a bit pricey, so I didn’t get them. This time, I ordered the fried fish skin, which was very tasty, with a wonderfully crispy texture! However, it was slightly salty, but that’s a minor issue.
Overall, this restaurant's dishes are simple yet satisfying, especially the fish soup, which is perfect for an occasional bowl to cleanse the palate. It’s a small place that offers reasonable prices and delicious food.
