I am not Taiwanese. And when I first arrived in Taiwan, these were places that I would avoid, as I used to hate waiting for food. However, I am now a convert to the Taiwanese way of thinking ‘a line must mean it’s good food’.<\/p>\n

Oyster omelet should be the order of the day here, without a doubt.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07122\"<\/p>\n

They start being made with a hefty handful of fresh oysters.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07126\"<\/p>\n

Then on goes the pancake-like mixture.<\/p>\n

Followed by a scattering of green onions.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07134\"<\/p>\n

An egg gets cracked on top of the oyster pile.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07136\"<\/p>\n

Followed by some fresh greens.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07144\"<\/p>\n

It’s left to bubble and cook away, and the incredible smell just wafts down the street attracting customers from all around.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07151\"<\/p>\n

It then gets portioned off and put on the sushi-like conveyor belt to the service guys and gals at the counter.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07168\"<\/p>\n

There’s certainly a no-frills atmosphere inside here. You’re sat at tables with complete strangers, all chowing down on oyster omelets and bowls of incredible rice.<\/p>\n

Yeh, oyster omelets look disgusting, I know. But, hold tight, they don’t taste like they look. They more often than not have this weird chewy texture, packed with egg, oysters, pancake mix and are topped with a hefty dollop of mildly spicy and salty sauce.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07162\"<\/p>\n

The oysters here are juicy, full of flavour, and taste wonderfully fresh. I very rarely eat other oyster omelet joints around the city<\/a>. This is definitely the best tasting one I have had so far.<\/p>\n

Ermm, translations?<\/p>\n

A more glutinous rice is used for this dish, seperating it from the \u9b6f\u8089\u98ef <\/a>we all know and love. The pork in this dish isn’t abundant, but it’s enough. The fat seeps through into the rice and creates a luxuriously guilty pleasure. So good, I could’ve sunk two bowls with ease.<\/p>\n
