"Liubijiu Chaozhou Yipin Clay Pot Porridge" is located near Zhongshan First Road and Gongyuan Road in Banqiao, New Taipei City, and the crab porridge has almost become their signature dish. This time, by chance, we passed by while they were about to close, so we took out a serving (the dining area was full at the time).

We ordered their red crab porridge. Although I hesitated at first about choosing the more expensive maiden crab porridge, the price made me think twice. The red crab porridge was actually very satisfying; the rice was cooked to just the right consistency, filled with a rich, fresh flavor and the aroma of crab, creating a layered taste of the sea in every bite. Although the meat of the red crab isn't top-tier, it was quite fresh, elevating the overall quality of the porridge.

The price of the meal isn't cheap, and reservations are required for dining in; it’s said that during busy times, it’s practically impossible to secure a seat. Overall, this crab porridge is indeed worth trying, especially for seafood porridge lovers who should appreciate the care put into the flavors and ingredients. However, the maiden crab porridge can be saved for a special treat day!
