One Two Three Taiwanese Cuisine Introduction
This cozy restaurant, "123 Taiwanese Cuisine," located by the moat, has long been on the list of must-try spots in Hsinchu. With over 40 years of operation, the restaurant creates a warm atmosphere that makes you feel at home, making it perfect for gatherings with friends or family. The menu on the blackboard includes options in Japanese, as the owner is fluent in the language, attracting many Japanese food lovers who come to Taiwan for business or work. Although the dishes seem like home-cooked meals or snacks, they are flavorful and pleasing to the eye, making it a favorite place for many Japanese visitors when in Hsinchu. We highly recommend ordering the pan-fried dumplings and fried chicken. The cooking method of the Japanese-style dumplings results in a sweet filling with a slightly crispy exterior, and they are so delicious that you won't even need soy sauce. Even if you're full, you'll find yourself eagerly devouring them one after another. The fried chicken has a crispy skin, and each bite is juicy and meaty, paired wonderfully with lettuce and Japanese mayonnaise. Every dish is a hit, so it's advisable to make a reservation, especially during peak dining hours when crowds gather. If you haven't tried this restaurant yet, I highly recommend you come and experience the delicious local Taiwanese flavors for yourself!
