West Central District, Tainan City｜A Wen Rice Cake

Waa, very nice food. Went there in the morning, fortunately no queue. We dine in. Limited seats in the shop. We order the one with gravy, I personally like it! I think if you at Tainan, you should drop by to try, a little bit like 蘿蔔糕，but different. One portion come with 3 pieces, moderate size only.

Simple menu, but most known for their pan seared and fried rice cake. It's similar to Taiwanese radish/ turnip cakes; it's both crunchy and crispy on the outside, but soft and gooey on the inside. It's nice because it's less dense with more QQ texture to season to your own liking. Their "original" selection comes with a ground pork meat sauce and it's so tasty! I prefer it much more than their "signature" option. For fans of spicy foods, they have homemade hot sauces that really kicks you in a face and takes it up a notch. Be wary of adding too much as the chili oil can whip up a nice cough. This place is very underrated and a must try if you're near by. A plus is that they're not hyped on social media so there usually isn't a wait. However, that might changed soon as they recently received Michelin's attention. I won't be surprised to see them recognized by 2023 Michelin Bib Gourmand. In fact, what I've heard, this is a new savory appetizer/ food created in Tainan that not many local Taiwaneses even tried. Highly recommend -- I came here 2 days in a row during my trip!

Simple nice rice cake. Good as breakfast, lunch, dinner or supper. Minimum expenses per head 60NTD
