Futai Third Generation
福泰飯桌第三代
A great place to experience Tainan's unique "rice table" culture, offering self-selected side dishes paired with minced pork rice in an air-conditioned space with clear pricing.
Located next to Chihkan Tower, this third-generation "rice table" (banzhuang-a) eatery offers a dining style unique to Tainan, where you select from a spread of freshly prepared home-style dishes to accompany a bowl of minced pork rice and soup. Common dishes include pan-fried milkfish belly, braised pork trotter, home-style soy-stewed pork, red yeast pork, scrambled eggs with bamboo shoots, and mixed fish ball soup. The menu has clear pricing, and the environment is cleaner than traditional shops, complete with air conditioning. Average spend is around NT$100 to NT$200 per person. Note that this shop is located at No. 219, Section 2, Minzu Road, which is different from the original Futai shop at No. 240 on the same road; they have different operating hours. It is a convenient dining option when visiting Chihkan Tower.
