香香鸡块 (NT$80)!

Friday Taiwan trip — 香香鸡块 (fragrant chicken bites) at NT$80 (~SGD$3.60). Taiwan night market chicken.

The 香香鸡 (xiang xiang ji — “fragrant chicken”):

• Iconic Taiwan night market dish
• Deep-fried boneless chicken bites
• Marinated with proper Taiwan seasonings (5-spice, garlic, soy)
• Sometimes coated with sweet potato starch (proper Taiwan technique)
• Crispy exterior + tender interior
• The proper Taiwan night market classic

The Taiwan fried chicken tradition:

• Multi-decade Taiwan night market heritage
• Multiple branded operators (Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken, etc.)
• Sweet potato starch coating innovation
• The proper “Taiwan fried chicken” identity

At NT$80 (~SGD$3.60), proper Taiwan night market pricing.

Overall: 4.6 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Solid Taiwan night market chicken. Would re-visit.
