Shin Ming Jin Cuisine and Dining Introduction
Xingmingjin Restaurant originated from the Xingmingjin Fish Ball Shop, located in Dong Market, Chiayi City. With a rich history of 50 years, it is a supplier of freshly made fish balls and ready-to-eat foods. Customers of Xingmingjin include not only fresh food supermarkets but also many hot pot restaurants and snack shops in the surrounding counties and cities of Chiayi. In 2002, under customer suggestions and changing trends, the owner transformed the business on Ren’ai Road into a dining establishment that combines traditional snacks and modern light meals. It not only preserves traditional flavors like fish balls and deep-fried burdock but also allows customers to enjoy a variety of dishes, such as baked goods and hot pot. Featuring local characteristics with new culinary elements, Xingmingjin was selected in 2004 by the Business Department of the Ministry of Economic Affairs as one of Chiayi City’s renowned stalls and specialty products. In 2007, it was also chosen as a selected store by the Zhu Luo Arts Family of Chiayi City and as a featured restaurant during the International Band Festival. Over the years, it has received accolades such as Chiayi City's Top Ten Specialty Snacks, Taiwan's Top 100 Gourmet Snacks, and the National GSP Service Certification.
