Come here for the island's favourite food – Taiwanese beef noodle soup. Unlike for your typical red braised variety, this shop doesn't add spicy bean sauce and Sichuan spices to the broth. Boneless short ribs are braised in a soy-based stock with vegetables and fruit for at least 3 hours. The resulting broth imparts a deep meaty flavour and a mild fruitiness; a knob of homemade beef fat takes the umami up a notch. The marinated meats are also worth trying.

Dongmen Rice Noodle Soup
Small eats · Bib
$
This stall in Dongmen Market has long been around and it specialises in thick rice noodles in a clear broth made with chicken bones. The signature seafood taro rice noodle soup is the must-try: deep-fried sea bass fillet, milkfish balls, shrimps and fried egg bits impart robust flavours; scallions deep-fried on site add extra fragrance; the chunk of creamy and starchy taro that melts in your mouth is the icing on the cake.

Yuan Wei Duck Noodle
Small eats · Bib
$
This simple shop has been around for 30-odd years. Folding tables and plastic stools under the building’s overhang may not sound sexy, but its signature duck with a mild smoky flavour, served either with steamed rice, fried noodles or Hsinchu rice vermicelli soup, is more than worth the trip. The locals adore their sautéed duck blood curd with chives and pickles – the jelly-like curd works well with the sweet, sour and spicy sauce.

Garden.V
Jiangzhe · Bib
$$
For 20+ years, Garden.V has been valued by locals for its authentic Jiangzhe fare served in generous portions. The three-storey space feels airy and bright thanks to full-length windows. Certain items, such as cabbage rice with Jinhua ham, need to be pre-ordered. Be sure to check out the glass display case for cold appetisers and sides – the kao fu, or fried wheat gluten with mushrooms and bamboo shoot, is savoury-sweet and incredibly appetising.

Nung Wei Hsiao Chu
Hakkanese · Bib
$$
With a career in Chinese cooking spanning more than 40 years, the chef opened this family-friendly restaurant a decade ago. The small menu captures the greatest hits of Hakkanese cuisine, but classics such as braised pork belly with shredded bamboo shoot are given a healthy spin thanks to the low-fat, low-salt recipe and a lighter sauce. Portions can be tailored to your party size; booking is recommended due to the limited number of seats.

With a calligraphy mural and carved wooden wall art, the white interior exudes an arty vibe. The owner named it after his mother’s nickname and the mindfully prepared healthy score is also inspired by his mum. The menu sees mostly noodle dishes from Chinese provinces in MSG-free vegetarian broth rich in natural sweetness, whilst steering clear of heavily processed foods. Also try fried tofu skin roll filled with basil omelette and pork cartilage.

He Jih Hsiang (Minzu Road)

This bright, cosy shop moved into this space in 2022. Their signature item of braised pork rice topped with a sunny-side up egg has won the hearts of many local gourmets. The glistening sauce is slow-cooked for 10 hours to allow the flavours to mingle and the hand-diced pork to soften; the runny egg yolk is the centrepiece, enrobing every grain of rice with custardy nectar. Fans of spicy food should add a dab of dried radish chilli sauce with anchovies.

Miao Kou Ya Xiang Fan (Zhongshan Road)

This household name has been sitting right next to Hsinchu City God Temple for over 30 years. At mealtimes, it is always jam-packed with hungry diners who don’t mind waiting for their signature duck rice. The must-try dish is finely shredded smoked duck over a bed of steamed rice, drizzled with a secret, umami-laden sauce. You can also order different smoked duck cuts on their own or the equally enticing duck meatball soup.
