AI Spot Summary
The variety of dishes is rich, and the braised flavors are well-infused. The preparation of the pork intestine and tendon meat is excellent, especially when paired with chili, making it particularly delicious. The vegetables are fresh, and the white radish and tofu are also flavorful. The performances of the black wheel, sweet and spicy tofu, and braised eggs are average.
The store mainly caters to local customers, creating a relaxed atmosphere that is suitable for enjoying drinks. It's a great place for late-night snacks.
There is room for improvement in the service, the staff's attitude is not friendly enough, and the practice of charging a service fee for dine-in is somewhat inconvenient.
Reviews
If we talk about the latest opened stewed snack shop in Taitung City, "Lai Dian Stewed Snacks" might be one of the few places open until 4 AM. So if you wake up hungry in the middle of the night, there’s still food to eat.
What I find most special about this shop is that, besides being a stewed snack shop, the freezer is filled with drinks and beer, making it somewhat similar to hot stir-fry places, except the food is all stewed snacks.
In terms of food, I think it’s one of the few places that offer fresh vegetable ingredients. Usually, the vegetables provided in stewed snack shops can be somewhat wilting, but the vegetables here are very fresh, and they don't cook them for too long, so you can still enjoy the crisp texture of the greens. As for other ingredients like fish balls, sweet potato balls, and braised eggs, their quality is just average.
Overall, the dining space and atmosphere are quite nice, and I recommend it to those who suddenly feel hungry late at night and want to have a midnight snack.
A friend recommended this restaurant, saying that they are very attentive to the types of dishes they prepare, but the attitude of the clerk is not very good. The restaurant is mainly local customers, and it feels like they are here for drinks and food, and there is a 10% service charge for inside meals. I can't say whether I recommend it or not. The braised sauce is really good, the soup is generally tasty, and the dishes are rich but the portions are really small. The vermicelli sausage and shank meat are both well prepared and go great with their chili. The white radish and Baiye tofu are also marinated, and the vegetables are very fresh!
But there are so few, so few that I found that prices in Taitung are higher than in Taipei.
