When I come to Chiayi this time, of course I cannot miss exploring the city’s food treasure house. In just a few days of travel, from classics to street food, every bite surprised me. Chiayi is indeed a paradise for food lovers! 🚩Lin Chongming’s fish head casserole: heart-warming taste First up is Lin Chongming, a famous restaurant in Chiayi. This shop has been around for decades. The stewed fish head is delicious, the soup is rich and sweet, and the garlic and tofu are full of soup. It makes you a regular customer once you try it. The fish head in the casserole is generous in portion. Although it looks light, it has a rich flavor. Paired with a bowl of white rice, you won’t be able to stop eating with chopsticks. This signature dish lives up to its reputation and is a heart-warming treat in winter. 👍Turkey rice: a representative of civilian delicacy When you come to Chiayi, you must try the local turkey rice. The tender turkey meat is covered with rice and drizzled with special gravy. Every bite is filled with an aftertasteful salty aroma. Simple cuisine but full of strong hometown flavor, no wonder the locals have a special liking for it. Whether it's for breakfast or dinner, turkey rice can easily satisfy your appetite, and no matter which restaurant you choose, you won't be disappointed. 📍Fengchihu Bento: Nostalgic mountain flavor Starting from Chiayi, I took the Alishan train and went to Fenqihu, where I tasted the famous Fenqihu bento. This box of bento has an ancient taste and is full of the simple style of the mountains. Traditional side dishes such as charcoal-grilled pork chops, braised eggs, and dried bamboo shoots are simple but full of nostalgia. The ingredients in the bento are fresh and authentic, paired with the beautiful scenery of Alishan. One bite of rice and one bite of mountain breeze make people immersed in the slow pace of comfort. 🎉Street food: a variety of choices to satisfy your taste buds Of course, Chiayi’s street food is not to be missed. Whether it’s salty crispy chicken, stinky tofu, mochi or tofu curd, every stall has its own specialties. Especially the joy of casual shopping and eating makes people instantly integrate into the local life atmosphere. Every bite is full of happiness. No wonder the food here not only makes tourists linger, but also the locals come back every day. 🚩Conclusion This food trip to Chiayi, whether it was a big meal or a snack, completely satisfied my taste buds.
