This dish is a bit like the pork trotter rice in Shantou. The braised egg in it is delicious, the water spinach is very tender, and it tastes very good with a little bit of shrimp paste on it. The price is also cheap.
Taichung Ashuishi Pig Trotter King, the pig's trotter is cooked very soft and sticky with collagen. You can use chopsticks to separate the whole pig's trotter. It is slightly sweet. A portion of pig's trotter noodles is 110 and comes with a braised egg. We Minnan people also eat pig's trotter noodles to get rid of bad luck and celebrate the birthdays of our elders with longevity noodles. I've been unlucky recently and I have to eat a bowl. There seem to be many branches. I chose the one in the park. After eating, I can take the bus to the airport after a few steps.

It's a teahouse similar to the one in Fujian. The snacks inside are good. The Taiwanese oolong tea is also OK. The seafood meatballs are very delicious. The braised pork is also good, made in Fuzhou style.
Legend has it that the birthplace of bubble tea is Taiwan, and the birthplace of Taiwanese bubble tea is Taichung, and the place where Taichung bubble tea was invented is the original Chun Shui Tang store. You can see the obvious store sign in the hall. I didn't expect that even bubble tea can be traced back to its origin. It smells really good. It was almost dinner time when we arrived. In fact, it was not the peak tourist season in Taichung, but this store was three floors inside and three floors outside. In addition to local diners, there were also tourists from Southeast Asia and other parts of Taiwan. I took a number plate, and the waiter was very attentive and told us that we would have to wait for about 30 minutes. So if you want to try it, please avoid dinner time.

This is a very cost-effective restaurant. The dishes here are similar to home-cooked meals. The salt and pepper pork knuckle is delicious. The fish soup is good. The fish is very tender and cut very thinly.

The types of meat seem to be somewhat different from those in mainland China. The beef here in Taiwan seems to be a little oilier. A portion of beef is quite large. The soup base looks very spicy, and it goes great with soy products.
This hotpot is so spicy. The old tofu is delicious and can be added for free. The shrimp paste tastes great too, made with fresh shrimp meat. The beef tastes great in the spicy pot.

The bubble milk tea is very good, the pearls are very chewy, and the honey in it is delicious with the cake. The honey is wild honey with very good quality, and it tastes good in tea.
The environment in the store is a bit more Japanese in style. The cakes inside taste very good. The rice with a little bit of ham looks rather ordinary, but it tastes great.

This is a long-established pork chop restaurant in Taichung. The pork chops are marinated on the outside and taste a bit like fermented bean curd. The satay beef is very good, the beef is great and the satay flavor is very strong.
It's similar to the fried pork chop rice in Taiwan, with a little bit of Japanese flavor. The fried chicken and pork chops in it are very delicious. The rice is very fragrant, and a little bit of seaweed is added to enhance the flavor.

Shacha hotpot is a specialty of Fujian. The tofu skin tastes very good. The Coke can is very unique, customized from Taiwan. The quality of the beef is average, but not too bad, and the vegetables are very fresh.
Taiwan Chen, an old hot pot restaurant in Taichung recommended by Assistant Manager Qiu. It was my first time dining here, and Lao Zhou loves to joke. ③At about 6 o'clock in the evening, 70% of the seats were full. The ingredients are slightly more than those of ordinary hot pot restaurants, and there are more seafood choices!
The restaurant actually only has aluminum cans of beer and no glass bottles. Lao Zhou laughed and said that the restaurant does not sell alcohol, only aluminum cans of beverages. 9 Later, I heard him tell the guests at the indoor table that turning on the air conditioner would cost NT$500 per person. The other party was also stunned by him, and of course he was joking. ③Overall, the food is quite satisfactory, and it is an indirectly down-to-earth traditional roadside hot pot restaurant!

Won the 2021 Taichung Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand recommendation, the mushroom hot pot feast is very exciting and unique. Especially recommended are the peeled pepper antler mushroom pot and sour bamboo shoot chicken pot, which have unique flavors and warm the stomach. It is a must-try hot pot recommendation in Taichung.
A restaurant recommended by a friend. It has a variety of mushrooms. The hot pot soup is very fresh and tastes great.
