Tucheng Market Cooked Food Stall Introduction
This food stall at the entrance of Zhongzheng Road Market has no name or sign, but it has gained some fame in Tucheng District over the past twenty years. Despite its old-fashioned traditional setup, the various dishes on the stall are delicious and highly praised. Boss Wang prepares over a dozen items daily, including pig ears, pig skin, liver, ham, sausages, and roasted chicken. Among these, the roasted chicken, ham, and pig skin are the most popular delicacies. The roasted chicken is specially prepared using a herbal marinade, with freshly slaughtered chickens marinated and then smoked with sugar in an oven, perfectly showcasing the combination of the herbal flavors and the smoky sweetness. Boss Wang's pig trotter ham is also a must-try delicacy; the entire pig trotter is cleaned out of bones and meat, leaving a hollow skin filled with delicious pig leg meat, sealed, and then cooked in the marinade until fully tender. It is sliced and served upon customer order. The pig trotter ham combines the chewy texture of the trotter skin with the tender pig leg meat, creating a rich aroma and delicious smoky flavor that is utterly delightful.
