May 23 : After being stuck in Covid lockdown for three long years, I finally got a chance to revisit this awesome restaurant. I was thrilled to find out that the food quality was still on point, and they had even added some new dishes to their menu. One of the highlights was the hot pepper fried sea snail, which gave my taste buds a spicy kick. And guess what? They now serve sashimi with shark meat! It was a totally new experience for me, and I absolutely loved it. But let me tell you, nothing beats the steel hotpot seafood rice. It was so darn good and filled me up instantly. The only disappointment was the slightly overcooked prawn that turned out to be a bit hard inside. On the flip side, the steam abalone was a real treat. The meat was incredibly tender and left me craving for more. The steamed fish was another winner with its simple yet flavorful combination of leeks and salted plum. And oh boy, the fried chicken with loads of garlic was a match made in heaven with my beer. I couldn't get enough of it! But the real showstopper was the smoked chicken. It was out-of-this-world delicious, and I couldn't resist ordering another round. I just couldn't stop myself from devouring that chicken. All in all, it was a fantastic dinner experience, and I'm already counting down the days until I can come back for more. Nov 2019: This is my favourite seafood restaurant whenever I visit to Hsinchu. A real gem hiding behind main street at Nanliao. Served very great and fresh seafood daily, you have to see what they catch that day and you get to choose what you like outside his store aquarium. The seafood hotpot rice is very unique and delicious, the clam was so good and of course the fish soup noodle with lots of peppercorn taste really good. They also served sashimi too.. The crab is fresh and tasty.. I also love the fresh free range chicken .. the meat is chewy come with layer of fatty skin and if you dare to eat .. so yummy! The fried abalone and squid is out of the world! The owner becomes a personal friend and always give us free drink from the left over whiskey bottle on their shelf. They don’t accept credit card but cash. Reasonable cost , cozy environment and high quality seafood and service!

The ingredients are delicious
