Longshan Happy Foot King Oyster Omelette Introduction
In the 1990s, Chang Huan-Chih from Tainan County led the anti-chemical plant movement, successfully preventing the establishment of the seventh naphtha cracker in the Qigu Lagoon, thereby preserving a pristine piece of land in Taiwan. At that time, Wang Hsien-Min, who gained fame for following Chang's footsteps and was interviewed by Wu Nian-Zhen for the program "Nian Zhen Qing," was originally a fisherman who set nets in the Qigu Lagoon. Recognizing the tourism potential of the lagoon after opposing the seventh naphtha cracker, he started selling oyster pancakes and oyster vermicelli at a stall by the harbor in front of the Longshan Temple, thus creating a trend for tourists to take bamboo rafts to explore the lagoon and enjoy oyster pancakes and oyster vermicelli. In 2015, Le Jiao Wang Oyster Pancakes and Oyster Vermicelli relocated to its current location to expand operations. Le Jiao Wang's oyster pancakes use a batter made from a mix of soybean flour and wheat flour, combined with water in a specific ratio. The filling consists of cabbage, chives, celery, and oysters, with the oysters sourced locally from Longshan—large, freshly shucked. The cabbage, chives, and celery are all purchased fresh, washed, chopped, and only used on the day they are prepared; any leftovers are discarded, ensuring freshness that customers can see and taste. Longshan Le Jiao Wang Oyster Vermicelli is available in two variations: soup and stir-fried, with the same ingredients—oysters, handmade vermicelli, and chives—prepared differently for a unique flavor.
