Rice Cake (Small) $45 Four Gods Soup (Pork Intestines + Pork Stomach) $55 Braised Fish Ball $5/piece Braised Duck Egg $15/piece Pickled Radish $15 I happened to find a spot by the roadside, so I quickly stopped to enjoy a Taiwanese-style brunch. The shop is small, with the front area serving as the kitchen and cooking zone, while the indoor dining area at the back is air-conditioned, clean, and bright. The tables are not sticky, and utensils and condiments are self-serve. For dine-in, you first find a seat, mark your order on the menu, and then go to the front area to pay. They accept Line Pay and also provide electronic receipts. The staff are very friendly, and they clean up the tables quickly after customers finish their meals. The rice cake looks quite good. The fish floss on top is well-chosen, aromatic, and pairs perfectly with the rice cake. The braised minced pork on top is mostly fatty, but it doesn’t feel greasy when eaten. The flavor is just right—not overly sweet or salty. The braised sauce can be mixed evenly with the rice cake, which also contains peanuts. Although there are only two peanuts, they are soft and delicious. It would be even better if there were more peanuts! The Four Gods Soup has a lighter flavor. The pork stomach has a slightly crunchy texture, while the pork intestines are softer and tender—quite nice. The braised duck egg looks fragrant just from its color. It’s a bit firm, with the egg white having a slightly chewy and aromatic texture. Braised fish balls—please, you must order them when having rice cake! The fish balls have a texture similar to tempura but without the soggy outer layer that comes from soaking too long. The fish balls remain bouncy and chewy—I really love these braised fish balls! Don’t forget to try the pickled radish. It’s crisp with a slightly sour taste, making it a great appetizer. Luocheng Rice Cake No. 241, Section 2, Minzu Road, West Central District, Tainan City

Tainan West Central District/Benzhi Coffee☕️ I happened to pass by this shop near Shennong Street a few days ago. It was quite special. I was attracted by the rich plants outside. The layout inside was also very different. One side was a cafe, and the other side was like an indoor garden🌸. They sold many different kinds of flowers and plants~ There were also small bouquets that could be bought directly! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

#Taiwan #Tainan #Tainantrip #Travel #Foodie #guohuastreet #Porkoilmixedrice #台灣 #台南 #中西區 #國華商區 #美食 #肥油混合饭 #丁富發肥油混合饭 Store Information Shop name: Ding Fu Fat Lard Rice Opening hours: 10:30-19:30 Address: No. 38, Dade Street, West Central District, Tainan City 700 I have eaten at many famous restaurants in Tainan, but I have never eaten at Ding Fu Fa. This time, I took advantage of the New Year's Eve to avoid the crowds and came to Tainan to try it. I heard from others that you must arrive at this restaurant as soon as it opens, otherwise you will have to wait in line forever. We arrived at about 11:10, and the restaurant was basically full. Luckily there was still a seat for two people that was exposed to the sun. We thought we wouldn’t eat for too long, so we sat down. Later we found out that the restaurant would actually show us to our seats 😅 The menu is very simple, including staple food, side dishes, meat skewers and soup. If you don’t know what to choose, you can directly choose the set meal (remember to choose the one with lard rice + raw egg yolk). Since we had a lot of food to eat later, we simply ordered lard rice + raw egg yolk, kimchi, and meatball soup. The kimchi is sweet, very refreshing and very Taiwanese. The meatball soup is made with bonito flakes. If you want a clear soup with some pepper, you can skip this one. What impressed me the most was the lard rice! Although I had heard of its reputation before eating it and had high standards in my mind, I was still shocked when I took a bite. The lard mixed with shallots and rice had a fragrant aroma, and the raw egg yolk wrapped the whole flavor together. It did not taste greasy like other lard-mixed rice that made me unable to eat after eating too much. After finishing one bowl, I wanted to order a second bowl! The overall transportation, service and food are OK. I highly recommend lard rice + raw egg yolk. You must come and try it if you have the chance😋 Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

November 2017, 6th #Taiwan Trip: Using #Taipei as a base, carefully tasting #Taichung & #Tainan~ • I looked at Google Maps, came out of the alley, walked a little on the main road, and a street lined with restaurants appeared. Among them, I visited a place called #Jipinxiarenfan (#集品蝦仁飯). • There are many delicious foods in Tainan, but I was personally very curious about this food. After confirming that it was a real local restaurant frequented by many locals, I went inside, sat down, and wrote an order form. Almost immediately, they brought it to me in a bowl. I was hungry, so I quickly took a picture and ate a spoonful of #shrimp rice or #shrimp roe rice. It was really good~ • First of all, the rice itself was cooked in shrimp broth, so every time I chewed a grain of rice, the savory taste of shrimp filled my mouth. There were even a lot of shrimp, so I kept chewing on the chewy shrimp meat. #worldtravel #taiwan #taipei #taipeitravel #taipei #台灣 #taiwan #taiwantravel #taipeitrip #台南旅遊 #tainantravel #tainantrip #tainantravel

November 2017, 6th #Taiwan trip: Using #Taipei as a base, carefully tasting #Taichung & #Tainan~ • After driving 20-30 minutes from downtown Tainan to #Anping (#安平) area, I visited #Anping Tree House (#安平樹屋). • Originally a warehouse of the British trading company #Duke & Co. (#德記洋行), it was used as a salt warehouse after Taiwan's liberation... After being abandoned, the roots of the bodhi tree wrapped around the building, and it is said that this became a famous landmark, drawing people's attention. • I could feel the grandeur and fear of nature at the same time. #worldtravel #taiwan #taipei #taipeitravel #taipei #台灣 #taiwan #taiwantravel #taipeitrip #台南旅遊 #tainantravel #tainantrip #tainantravel

November 2017, 6th #Taiwan trip: Using #Taipei as a base, carefully tasting #Taichung & #Tainan~ • Leaving Tainan city, we drove 20-30 minutes to #Anping (#安平) area, and visited several places, and finally visited Guanxi Pingtai #觀夕平台. Because it was rumored to be a #Tainan sunset restaurant!! • The atmosphere of having fun with family or friends on an exotic white sand beach was so great. As time went by, I started to soak in this place, and thanks to that, I was able to appreciate the various colors of the sky as time passed. #WorldTravel #Taiwan #Taipei #TaipeiTravel #taipei #台灣 #taiwan #taiwantravel #taipeitrip #台南旅遊 #tainantravel #tainantrip #TainanTravel

November 2017, 6th #Taiwan trip: Using #Taipei as a base, carefully tasting #Taichung & #Tainan~ • If you walk about 10 minutes from Tainan Train Station 臺南車站, you can arrive at #Chikanlou ( #赤嵌樓). This was a key base for the Dutch who occupied Taiwan Island, but thanks to the efforts of Ming General #Zheng Shenggong ( #鄭成功 ), this place was reclaimed, and it is said that this place was used as a base to eventually recover Taiwan. #WorldTravel #Taiwan #Taipei #TaipeiTravel #taipei #台灣 #taiwan #taiwantravel #taipeitrip #台南旅遊 #tainantravel #tainantrip #TainanTravel
