Datong District, Taipei City｜Lin He Fa Oily Rice Shop

This has got to be the stand-out dish of our Taipei trip. Chicken is tender on the inside, crisp on the outside. Rice is well seasoned throughout and the bits of meat and mushroom scattered over is a chef’s kiss. The seasoned egg (茶叶蛋) also helps give variety to this meal. Expect long queues and the stall stops selling around 11am.

In the fried rice specialty store in Yongle Market, you can buy bento boxes and sell them by weight. The unit price is 100 yuan per catty. You can buy them according to your actual needs. The sale starts at about 7:00 in the morning and lasts until around 12:00 noon, but the actual situation depends on the sales situation. It may be sold out earlier on holidays, and there is usually a queue, but it doesn’t take too long. As for the holidays are not fixed every month, but will be announced in advance on the bulletin board of the store Generally speaking, it is a delicious oil rice in Taipei. The oil rice is covered with minced meat sauce instead of shredded pork, and then shredded shiitake mushrooms are added, which is in line with the taste of southern oil rice. In addition to fried rice, they also sell taro cakes, braised eggs and chicken drumsticks.

Super nice oily rice. Taste just nice. Got mushroom inside the rice. Chicken drumstick tastes great.
