Zhule Canteen. Old-fashioned set menu. When it comes to traditional Taiwanese restaurants in Hsinchu, many locals will surely think of the decades-old establishment across from Minfu Elementary School. Old-fashioned set menu. When it comes to traditional Taiwanese restaurants in Hsinchu, many locals will surely think of #ZhuleCanteen, which has been open for decades across from Minfu Elementary School. Although it doesn't have novel interior decoration and the sign isn't very obvious, it's unforgettable for many gourmets and can be considered a favorite among old Hsinchu residents. Open for over 30 years, there's no paper menu; instead, like traditional seafood restaurants, you order based on the dishes available in the display fridge at the entrance. The seafood available that day is a surprise you discover that day! Choose what you want from the glass cabinet, and the chef can adjust the flavors to your preference. The chef's excellent skills and the friendly service make you feel like you're in your own kitchen. Indeed, delicious and unpretentious dishes always turn first-time customers into regulars! The dishes here are diverse, from oyster omelets to grilled pork ribs. Simple home-style dishes exude the taste of home, making you feel very welcome. #BoiledChicken The chicken skin is glistening, and the meat is very tender, juicy, and plentiful. If you like chicken, we sincerely recommend ordering a plate. #OysterOmelet This dish is not like the usual oyster omelets; it's made in a more traditional way, combining oysters with crispy pan-fried batter. Of course, there are plenty of scallions inside. Eating it with ketchup brings back the taste of childhood meals at grandma's house.
