This local snack shop was accidentally discovered by Fenyuan
This time going to Dongshan for lunch,
Originally planning to eat at Awen Rouyuan next door, but when we arrived there were no more rouyuan left~~~
The Dongshan Rouyuan next door has a small stall, and the indoor seating area was full, so we decided to give it a try
The menu here is very simple, and there were no side dishes left at the time,
Only rouyuan / dachang / soups, with super affordable prices
Outside on the open cooking station, rouyuan are constantly being deep-fried
Handmade dachang can be ordered by the portion or you can pick your own and have the owner weigh it
The rouyuan are handmade by the shop, and are fried in hot oil at low temperature,
When ordering, you can choose how many pieces per bowl
The handmade dachang has real pig intestine on the outside, with glutinous rice and peanuts inside,
This is also a must-try item; by the time Fenyuan took a photo, only a few pieces were left
Many locals come here just to buy dachang to take home
The indoor dining space is small, with only 5 tables, and the environment is clean and spacious
Because there are few staff, during peak hours you may need to wait a bit for tables to be cleared
The indoor area has air conditioning and electric fans, so it won't be too hot in summer
1. Handmade Dachang: NT$60
Fenyuan directly picked 3 small pieces for the owner to weigh
Good thing we picked a few extra, because it was really substantial and delicious
The glutinous rice inside is firm and chewy, and every bite has boiled peanuts with a bit of crunch
The intestine is very cleanly prepared and has a nice bouncy texture
Paired with a bit of soy sauce paste, it's the most traditional old-school snack
2. Rouyuan:
The rouyuan here are deep-fried, but with a more traditional Q-texture skin
Paired with the shop's special white sauce and a bit of soy sauce
The slightly sweet white sauce combined with the savory filling gives a very simple old-school flavor
The most unique part is that the filling consists of sliced lean meat pieces,
Without the bamboo shoots usually found in rouyuan, which Fenyuan really likes~~
The lean meat has been marinated, so the flavor is rich,
The meat is firm, and paired with the soft Q skin, it has a distinctive taste
3. Assorted Soup: NT$30
The assorted soup contains white radish / small intestine / fish balls, with plenty of ingredients,
Paired with a light, non-greasy pork bone broth, it's another simple yet hearty old-school soup
This unassuming local snack shop
serves food with authentic old-school flavors that are delicious, and the prices are very reasonable
No wonder locals come here to buy food to take home
