Zengjia Xiaozhan
曾家小棧
A hugely popular Taiwanese family-style restaurant in Hengchun, where the crispy Hong Kong-style chicken and Dongpo pork are must-orders and weekend visits require reservations.
Located on Route 26 (Shengbei Road) in northern Hengchun, close to Hengchun Airport, this restaurant is run by a brother and sister who started out at a roadside stall on Hengchun Old Street. The signature Hong Kong-style crispy chicken uses black-boned chicken fried without batter, so the skin is crisp, the meat is tender, and the quantity is limited. The bamboo-shoot Dongpo pork is also a must-order, along with Japanese-style shrimp balls and Thai-style lemon fish. You can order family-style sets or individual dishes, at about NT$250-400 per person, which is ideal for sharing. Tour groups are frequent, so book ahead on weekends. There is a large parking lot in front, which is convenient for those driving.
