This Sihai Ju Snacks has been on Fenyuan's must-try list for a long time
This time I had some time, so I came to try it
Sihai Ju Snacks is inside the city market,
This is a well-organized old market, so it's very clean
Sihai Ju is right next to the famous Yixiang Sesame Sauce Noodles
Both shops are packed with crowds on weekends, local queuing hotspots
Sihai Ju's main storefront is an open kitchen with only a few seating areas
Outside is filled with traditional lu wei items, each looking delicious
The main seating area has about 3 tables, The seating area opposite has more, with 5 tables, and is brighter
If there are too many people, the shop will add tables at the entrance~~
This shop has also been selected for Taiwan's Top 500 Snacks, which shows the flavors are really good
The table has simple utensils and condiments
The chili sauce is really spicy, but pairs great with the lu wei, enhancing the aroma
They even provide a phone stand on the table, so thoughtful~~
There's a small self-service area at the back for spoons and paper bowls
The dishes here are very traditional,
Featuring Yilan's traditional Xilu Rou and Bu Rou
Many choices for main dishes
Most people order a main dish with lu wei
1. Lu Wei 5 items: NT$200
Lu wei here: choose any 4 for 150, 5 for 200, each additional item +50
The lu wei I chose this time were all fresh and delicious
The bone-in meat is in huge chunks, very bouncy, no porky smell
Shark fin has skin, chewy on top and tender underneath
The blood sausage is highly recommended, made with lean meat, chewy outside and soft inside, with a subtle sauce aroma
The fried ribs are the only item not recommended, a bit dry, better for soup
Shark belly is also recommended, bouncy with no fishy smell, full of collagen
2. Bu Rou: NT$200
The Bu Rou here is made to order, crispy outside and tender inside, wrapped around finely sliced local pork, getting more fragrant with each bite
Their Bu Rou goes for a soft and fluffy style, suitable for both adults and kids
3. Xilu Rou: NT$250
Xilu Rou comes in a huge portion, traditional flavor, with plenty of egg crisp enhancing the overall aroma
The sweet napa cabbage and black moss make the whole dish very savory,
A delicacy that can be enjoyed as a soup or main course
The portions here are generous, just 3 dishes already fill the whole table
4. Stir-fried Rice Noodles with Shredded Pork: NT$60
The rice noodles are chewy, with a very traditional seasoning, no MSG, just a light sauce aroma and pork fragrance,
Pairs perfectly with the side dishes, not too salty
But seeing the mixed fried noodles and fried rice at the next table, Fenyuan really thinks...
The mixed fried noodles look even better~ Must order next time
This snack shop gets super crowded during meal times, and because the portions are large, if ordering main dishes, it's best to come with more people
If fewer people, definitely go for the lu wei platter, highly recommended
