Dongmen Market is a place I visit every time I come to Hsinchu. It is a traditional market during the day, bustling with all kinds of fresh vegetables, fruits and seafood stalls, full of the atmosphere of life. In the evening, this place quietly changes and becomes a hotspot for many literary and artistic youths to gather. The market is no longer just about the hawking of vendors, but has a special atmosphere. Specialty shops and cultural and creative stalls have gradually moved in, and the whole market looks particularly charming with the lighting, attracting many young people who love food and art. Here, you can not only taste a variety of local snacks, such as braised food, fried food, and Hsinchu's special rice noodles, but also many cultural and creative shops and cafes. This is a little place full of nostalgia, perfect for a leisurely stroll or taking photos.

Starting from Hsinchu Dongmen Roundabout and strolling slowly along the street, you can feel the unique traces of time in this city. There are still many old houses and traditional shops in this area, as if telling the past of Hsinchu. Along the way, it is not difficult to find several low-key but story-filled old shops, the most representative of which is Ronghe Stationery Store - said to be the earliest stationery store in Hsinchu. This shop carries the childhood memories of many people. Various pens, inks and papers are displayed on the wooden counters and yellowed shelves. Along the way, you can not only appreciate the details of the old buildings, but also see some shops that blend the old and the new, such as small houses converted into hipster cafes and selection stores, which add a different atmosphere to the area. This slow pace allows you to experience the old and new styles of Hsinchu Dongmen Business District.

#2024Travel Review The total price for a business lunch today is 299 plus $30 cleaning fee In conclusion, it is really good to have all-you-can-eat at this price in Hsinchu. Even at noon on weekdays, it is about half full, and there are also private rooms on the second floor available. I saw eight people gathering for dinner. Personally speaking, the buffet bar has a small variety, including vegetables and hot pot ingredients. The beverage bar is very good, and the ten-yuan wheat flavor is the most delicious. Although only white sauce seafood risotto was served that day, the white sauce contained shrimps, clams, and small scallops, and the taste was not sloppy. Even if it was sold alone, I would have no problem with the deliciousness. Even if I came to eat hot pot, I ate two big bowls The soup is the most common vegetable tonkotsu soup. Personally, I feel that the smell of pig is obvious. The soup does not bring out the sweetness of the vegetables. I am not sure whether it is because the blood foam has not been removed or because there are not enough vegetables. It does not make people want to drink it all the time. soup The hot pot ingredients and vegetables tasted average and nothing special, and the plum blossom pig didn't have any special memories. Maybe it was overshadowed by the soup. The braised pork is my average preference, with a strong salty flavor.

"Fufu Kitchen" located on Shijie Street in Hsinchu is decorated with a Japanese-style atmosphere. The first floor is a bar area, and the second floor has independent boxes and multi-person seating areas. This time I ordered a seasonal limited menu (the chef said that it changes every season so that it can give customers a full sense of freshness every time ~ it is considerate enough) # Salt-roasted Iberian pork pork Q-bombs and chewy set meal will come with vinegar rice + small fried shrimps. The vinegar rice has a strong vinegar flavor and is paired with Iberian pig. It is very satisfying and appetizing. I like it very much # Slow-cooked duck leg vermicelli pot. If you like taro duck stew, don’t miss it. The soup is cooked very rich and delicious. The meat of the duck leg is not dry. #Crispy Cherry Duck Nigiri Sushi. The translucent crispy skin on top of the duck meat brings out the burnt aroma and tastes 100 The taste is also 100 points. #tamagoyaki and #fried shrimp tempura are must-haves for izakayas. Overall, the ingredients in #福福kitchen are fresh and the quantity is sufficient. The location is very close to the Chenghuang Temple and the giant city. Come here when you are tired after the trip. It’s also a good choice to eat~especially the izakayas that open at noon are really rare~recommended Salt-roasted Iberico pig set meal / $480 Slow-cooked duck leg vermicelli in clay pot / $480 Crispy cherry duck nigiri / $280 Lucky Tamagoyaki / $180 Fried shrimp tempura / $260 Fortune Kitchen-Hsinchu World Store Address: No. 95, Shijie Street, East District, Hsinchu City 300 Business hours: 11:30–14:30, 17:30–22:00 (closed on Mondays) #新chu #新庄吃 #日本式izakaya #新庄izakaya #新庄夜夜 #taiwan #taiwanfood #food #foodporn #foodphotography #福福kitchen #hsinchu #hsinchufood

Location: No. 145, Nanda Road, East District, Hsinchu City Introduction: The Nandalu Police Dormitory was completed during the Showa era. The area was located southeast of Hsinchu City at the time, close to the Hsinchu Railway Trunk Road constructed by Liu Mingchuan. After entering the Japanese colonial rule, the Japanese colonial government expanded the construction of the railway system. The housing demand for construction personnel increased, so the Ministry of Railways dormitory was built here, and the garden-like Hsinchu Park was built nearby. This area gradually became the main residential community for the Japanese. Japanese-style dormitories were the mainstream of Japanese urban planning. The Japanese colonial government built a large number of Japanese-style dormitories in the city through urban planning to meet the growing housing demand. However, in the face of rapid urban development and change in Taiwan, these historically significant Japanese dormitory buildings gradually could not withstand the pressure of natural forces, deliberate human destruction and land development, and slowly disappeared in cities and rural areas. Opening hours: 10:00-18:00, closed on Mondays Tickets: Free Thoughts: Taiwan was once ruled by Japan, so its architecture presents a variety of styles. These Japanese-style wooden houses have also become an important cultural asset and a diverse face of Taiwan. It's worth coming here to learn about the history of this area.

I always heard that Hsinchu is a food desert. Since I moved to Hsinchu, I realized that I was so wrong😻 Oya pizzeria First visit time: 2025/2/27 I usually search for highly rated stores on Google Maps. Since discovering this highly rated pizza place nearby I've always wanted to try it! I have no regrets after actually finishing the meal👍👍 This time, only one person went. Especially after doing some research online, I ordered the flavor most people in the comments recommended, "Raw Ham and Arugula Pizza" Because I got off work late that day, Also call ahead to confirm if the store has enough dough. And order in advance to shorten the waiting time. (After all, it takes 5-10 minutes to bake a pizza) I must praise the attitude and dedication of the store clerk. When answering the phone, he was very patient and helped to analyze the driving time to the store. So as to estimate the actual baking time of the pizza, I arrived at the store and within two minutes I had a hot pizza ready to eat! Back to the meal itself, Oya's pizza is considered a thin-crust pizza. But the pizza base is very chewy and has a strong flour aroma. It’s really great when eaten hot! The only small regret is that, depending on the taste, The cheese in the pizza should not be too stringy (this is really important for cheese lovers!) But we also respect the store's original intention to keep the seasoning and not add any ingredients. Apart from the pizza, the soup was just average, but the ingredients were really good! Tiramisu has a very strong wine flavor. If you don't drink, you might want to consider this. I don’t usually drink, but I felt a little drunk after eating it🤣 But when they heard it was my birthday, the waiter even helped me draw the plate. Very touching 🥹🥹 I hope to have a chance to eat with friends next time. Try the different flavors of savory and sweet pizzas. 📍Address: No. 103, Jianzhong Road, East District, Hsinchu City 300 🕰️Business hours: 11:30 - 20:30 Closed on Monday 💰Average consumption: The price of pizza is about $250-350, plus a 10% service charge About 500 servings The meal for one person is about 600+ You can pay with Linepay #Hsinchu Food #Pizza #Naples Certification
