Tainan・Tainan Station × Yamuliao × ht Grand Collaboration Recommendation, a Math Cram School Hidden in the Alleyways .ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ

Tainan Station completed the first phase of its underground construction on October 17th, Year 26. The old station's above-ground railway is currently 'temporarily open' for experience until the 26th, when the second phase of construction begins.

About a fifteen-minute walk from Tainan Station, 'Yamuliao Market,' known as Tainan's food street, is a must-visit stop. 🧄 Cai Feng Rou Yuan (Meat Dumplings) 'Cai Feng Rou Yuan,' hidden in the alleys deep within Yamuliao, has a small storefront with only two or three tables. Yet, you'll see housewives from the market and regulars constantly patronizing it. The pricing of the rou yuan is quite peculiar; the price per piece varies depending on the quantity, testing your math skills. The freshly steamed rou yuan looks soft, chewy, and pale white. They are not large, with a thick skin encasing a ball of meat filling, drizzled with a generous spoonful of Tainan's unique sweet soy sauce. The chewy skin has a firm texture, and the marinated meat filling is fragrant with every bite. Paired with super strong garlic paste, it's incredibly delicious! If you're a foodie who enjoys flavor variations, there are also self-serve condiments on the table, such as wasabi and bean paste. The bean paste has a savory and aromatic flavor, while the wasabi is as pungent as expected. Adding a spoonful to change the taste is also a good option. 🐟 Floating Fish Ball Soup Besides the signature rou yuan, the floating fish ball soup is also not to be missed. It's simmered in a large pot and ladled out fresh upon order, then topped with a bit of cabbage, bamboo shoots, and ginger slivers. The fish paste is chewy and has a crisp texture, while the soup is thick yet clear. Drizzled with black vinegar and a little pepper, the slightly sweet and sour taste is a simple yet exquisite breakfast from the old city of Tainan. 📌 Cai Feng Rou Yuan: No. 31, Yumin Street, Tainan City
