This cozy #123TaiwanCuisine by the moat was originally on #CityEditor's list of favorites. It has been in business for over 40 years. The restaurant's decor is warm and inviting, giving a sense of home, making it perfect for gatherings with friends or family. The menu on the blackboard is available in both Chinese and Japanese because the owner is fluent in Japanese, attracting many Japanese business travelers and workers. Although the dishes appear to be home-style and bar snacks, they are all full of color, aroma, and flavor, making customers loyal after just one bite. It's one of the designated dining spots for many Japanese friends visiting Hsinchu. #CityEditor highly recommends the must-try #PanFriedDumplings and #Karaage. The Japanese-style pan-fried dumplings have a sweet filling and a slightly charred, fragrant skin, making them incredibly delicious even without soy sauce. You'll devour them one after another, even when full. The karaage chicken has a crispy exterior, but is tender and juicy with every bite, and it tastes excellent with lettuce and Japanese mayonnaise. Every dish is a winner, and it's recommended to book in advance, especially during peak dining hours when it gets very crowded. If you haven't tried this restaurant yet, we highly recommend you come and experience the local Taiwanese flavors for yourself!
