Tucheng Market Cooked Food Stall Introduction
This food stall at the entrance of the Zhongzheng Road Market has neither a name nor a sign, but has gained a small reputation in Tucheng District over the past twenty years. The old-fashioned stall offers a variety of cooked foods that have garnered much praise for their deliciousness. Boss Wang prepares more than ten types of cooked dishes daily, including pig ears, pig skin, pig liver, ham, sausages, and roast chicken, with the roast chicken, ham, and pig skin being the most popular. The roast chicken is uniquely marinated in a herbal broth, cooked with freshly slaughtered chickens that are cleaned that day, and then smoked in an oven with sugar. The combination of the herbal broth and the smoky sweetness beautifully presents the flavor of the roast chicken. Boss Wang's pig trotter ham is also a must-try delicacy; the entire pig trotter is cleaned of bone and meat from the inside, leaving only the hollow pig trotter skin. It is then filled with delicious pork leg meat, sealed, and simmered in the broth until fully cooked before being sliced and served to customers upon order. The pig trotter ham combines the soft, chewy texture of the pig trotter skin with the tender pork leg meat, offering a rich aroma and delicious smoky flavor that is incredibly satisfying.
