Behind-the-Temple Seafood Congee

Kaohsiung


This wonderful street-corner shop with an iron roof whips up delicious soups and congee with fresh local seafood. The signature seafood congee (招牌海產粥, zhāopái hǎichǎn zhōu) is excellent with the oyster omelette (蚵仔蛋, hézǐ dàn, NT$100). Tick your selections on the order form, hand it over, pay, get your condiments of choice, and you're set. It's closed every other Monday.
