Xinmingzhu Food and Beverage Introduction
Xingmingjin Restaurant, originally known as Xingmingjin Fish Ball Shop, is located in the East Market of Chiayi City. With a rich history of 50 years, it serves freshly made fish balls and ready-to-eat foods; its customers not only include fresh food supermarkets but also many hot pot restaurants and snack shops in surrounding counties and cities. In 2002, under customer suggestions and the trends of the times, the owner transformed it into a dining establishment that combines traditional snacks with modern fast meals on Ren'ai Road. It has preserved traditional flavors such as fish balls and deep-fried burdock while also offering various dishes like baked and hot pot cuisines. Due to its local characteristics and the incorporation of new culinary elements, Xingmingjin was selected by the Ministry of Economic Affairs' Department of Commerce as one of the famous stalls and specialties in Chiayi City in 2004. It was also recognized as a specially selected store by the Zhu Luo Yi Family in Chiayi City and a featured restaurant during the International Band Festival in 2007. Over the years, it has received numerous accolades, including recognition as one of Chiayi City’s top ten specialty snacks, Taiwan’s top 100 gourmet snacks, and the National GSP service certification.
