Xinmingjin Cuisine Introduction
Xingmingjin Restaurant was formerly known as Xingmingjin Fish Ball Shop. Located in the East Market of Chiayi City, it has a rich history of 50 years, serving freshly made fish balls and cooked food. The customers of Xingmingjin include not only fresh food supermarkets but also many hot pot restaurants and snack shops from surrounding counties and cities of Chiayi. In 2002, under customer suggestions and the trend of the times, the owner transformed it into a dining establishment on Ren’ai Road that combines traditional snacks and modern light meals. It not only inherits the traditional flavors of fish balls and fried burdock but also allows customers to enjoy dishes from different cuisines, such as baked dishes and hot pots. Due to its local characteristics and the addition of new culinary elements, Xingmingjin was selected as one of Chiayi City's famous stalls and products by the Ministry of Economic Affairs in 2004. It was also chosen as a selected shop of Zhuoluo Artisan in Chiayi City and a featured restaurant during the International Wind Band Festival in 2007. In recent years, it has received honors such as being among Chiayi City's top ten特色小吃 (featured snacks), Taiwan's top 100 gourmet snacks, and the National GSP service certification.
