Popular local delicacies and snacks in Taitung City (Part 2)

People often go to other counties and cities to eat food recommended on the Internet, but most of them feel disappointed because there seems to be nothing special. I hope that foreign tourists can eat snacks that Taitung locals also like. Even if they don’t like it in the end, I can guarantee that they can taste the old feelings, old memories, and the most authentic Taitung flavor! ✔️Rice Noodles Under the Banyan Tree vs Lao Dongtai: The former is a must-eat restaurant every time I go back. It started under a very big banyan tree on the roadside when I was a child. The old couple sold a kind of pure rice handmade rice noodles, and at most added a braised egg as the standard starter (dry rice noodles with vinegar is the gourmet version). It’s just that after the second generation, it became commercialized and a bunch of expensive and ordinary side dishes came out. When I go to Under the Banyan Tree, I only recommend the standard version with braised egg and meatballs! Lao Dongtai can be your second choice if you don’t want to queue. 📍No. 176, Datong Road, Taitung City ✔️Blue Dragonfly Fast Food vs Ah Hong Fried Chicken: With over 30 years of history in Taitung, its status is like Dan Dan Burger in Kaohsiung. Fried chicken nuggets are a must-order. Some friends say it’s like night market fried chicken, but we just love the juicy and crispy flavor. Ah Hong was opened by a veteran employee of Blue Dragonfly. The taste is also good. There are three branches, and it’s easier to get there! 📍No. 214, Datong Road, Taitung City ✔️Visit and enjoy: I think the key to oyster noodles is to thicken them just right. If there are plenty of ingredients, it should be at least 80 points. The highlight of this restaurant is the mung bean and garlic, which has a very traditional old flavor and goes very well with peanut powder! 📍No. 218, Xinsheng Road, Taitung City ✔️Huang Ji Scallion Pancake: The roadside stalls lined up by the sea are definitely the afternoon tea that Taitung people grew up eating. Apart from the black wheel stalls, the most recommended is the crispy, appetizing and delicious basil double egg scallion pancake, because it is not fried to the point of having no dough texture like the fried egg scallion pancake, so please add eggs and chili! 📍Located next to Taitung Seaside Park ✔️ "American Fried Dough Sticks" + "Zhengdongshan Ice House" are 2 stores next to each other. Order an American fried dough stick that looks like a nutritious sandwich, and pair it with juice, papaya milk or old-fashioned ice cream, full of taro shaved ice 👍 📍No. 173, Fujian Road, Taitung City ✔️Nanbei Dumpling House: It is a local restaurant with affordable prices, and it has popular dishes such as steamed dumplings, boiled dumplings, fried rice, frozen beef, sweet and sour spareribs, etc. 📍No. 117, Heping Street, Taitung City 💯The above prices are definitely all copper coins. Except for the North and South Dumpling Restaurant, you can order dishes at a higher price, but the average per capita cost is about 100 yuan, which is very satisfying. #LocalTourism #SpringSummerDestinations2024 #WhereToGoOnTheWeekend
