Fu Chang Restaurant Introduction
Located on Pingxi Old Street, the simple and unpretentious "Fuchang Restaurant" has been in operation since 1957, renowned for its authentic rural snacks. It is a beloved gathering place for local events, celebrations, and banquets. Known for its traditional Taiwanese banquet cuisine, Fuchang Restaurant, formerly known as "Yonggelou," was once a specialized banquet catering establishment during the mining boom. The head chef excels at delivering authentic Taiwanese flavors, and the dishes offered are as abundant as those served at banquets. Particularly noteworthy is the "Yutun Sanxian," a dish that is hard to find in typical restaurants; its first taste evokes a rich, nostalgic flavor that is definitely worth a try. Additionally, Pingxi is famous for its abundant "arrow bamboo." If you visit in late autumn to early winter, around November, you must try the fresh local "Pingxi arrow bamboo." Select tender bamboo shoots, stir-fried with fermented soybeans and spicy bean paste for a crisp, refreshing taste that pairs excellently with rice—definitely not to be missed! The ever-popular "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall," recommended by many food enthusiasts, is another signature dish; made with chicken soup as the base, it includes marinated and fried pork ribs, bamboo shoots, fried quail eggs, imitation shark fins, and a variety of other ingredients, creating a rich flavor and savory broth that fills the air with an irresistible aroma the moment it is served.
