On June 22, 2024, at 7:35 p.m. in Taichung, there is a wildly popular hidden gem spot known for its giant triangular bones. The business operates from 3 p.m., and its popularity is such that it sells out immediately upon opening, necessitating advance reservations even on weekdays. The triangular bones are so large that they are mistaken for sliced chicken cutlets, freshly baked and irresistibly crispy. Some claim it to be the best in Taichung. Customers are advised to call ahead to reserve, as the concept of selling out upon opening is intense. The place is filled with pre-ordered dishes, and those without reservations risk missing out. Must-try fried foods include the triangular bones, sweet potato fritters, and chicken cutlets. Despite the generous serving size of the bones, they are incredibly hot upon delivery, best eaten fresh out of the fryer to fully enjoy the flavors. The bones are generously coated with a thin layer of sauce, adding a subtle sweetness without being overpowering. This spot offers the most impressive triangular bones, certainly leaving a mark with its substantial size that might even be mistaken for chicken cutlets at first glance. The texture of the bones is both crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with plenty of meat, completely overturning any prior expectations.

Recently, while strolling through the Sih-Chang-Li Night Market in North District in Taichung, I found the Yen Tien Soy Milk Chicken. This dish, known for its salty-sweet juicy taste and unique flavor, is quite popular in Taichung night markets. Although the dish may sell out quickly, especially the chicken wings, it is worth trying for its crispy exterior, tender meat with a hint of soup, and marinated soy milk flavor that sets it apart from the usual pepper-seasoned fried chicken. If you're not a fan of night markets, you can also find this dish during the day at street-side stalls. Don't miss out on this delicious Yen Tien Soy Milk Chicken at Sih-Chang-Li Night Market in Taichung.
