Chiayi has many turkey rice restaurants,
This time I happened to be near 和平火雞肉飯, so I came to try it
During lunch hour, there was a huge crowd, clearly all locals, lining up for takeout
The indoor dining space is small, if you want to eat in, just find a seat yourself
The bento is a special dish on the wall
This turkey rice was once ranked number one in Chiayi City~~
The auntie's hands at the cooking station never stopped
The braised eggs and side dish station were constantly running out
They also sell Chiayi's famous cold dishes, right inside the fridge
The prices here are really affordable, with tons of side dishes and different soups, you'll have decision paralysis~
1. Chicken Rice (Large): NT$40
The chicken rice here uses diced turkey meat, the turkey is tender and juicy
The seasoned soup base has fragrant fried shallots, and I love the tapioca pearls
The rice is a bit dry, but pairs perfectly with the turkey meat juices
2. Turkey Bento: NT$60
The bento portion is about 1.5 times a large bowl, plus some vegetables, guys will feel full too
3. Miso Soup: NT$20
Miso soup is a must with chicken rice, each place has slightly different ingredients
This one has fried tofu and tofu blocks, very filling
The miso soup has a slight sweetness, standard flavor
4. Braised Egg: NT$15/ Braised Pork Skin: NT$15
No fried eggs here, so I ordered braised egg, super flavorful
The pork skin is super soft and tender, full of collagen, real pork skin,
Paired with a bit of garlic sauce, super aromatic
5. Century Egg Tofu: NT$35
Century egg tofu is also a must-pair with chicken rice,
Especially in Chiayi they use firm tofu, which has more texture,
The sweet soy paste with a bit of minced garlic adds garlic aroma and more layers of flavor
This turkey rice has the fried shallot aroma that I love,
Affordable and delicious, no wonder it's always packed~~~
