Illustrative Long-Shi Steak on Nanjing Road in Chiayi City is one of Taiwans rare cut-and-buffet steak concepts: a single seating lets you rotate through five main plates - chicken leg, sirloin, squid ink roll, T-bone pork, and pork shoulder - while fried sides, salad, desserts, and dinner rolls can be reordered without limit. With a history of more than 25 years, the kitchen is fast and the room is roomy, and weekday lunch checks in at around NT$600, an exceptional value for steak eaters that makes it a magnet for celebrations and team banquets.
Illustrative Xiong-Er-Jia Yolk Pastries on Nan-Yao Road in Changhua City is a rising star in the local dessert scene, known for a crust that is crisp without being oily and sweet without being cloying, and a filling that is moist and rich. Developed by a trio of bakers, the pastries come out fresh every day and work equally well as a Mid-Autumn gift or a quick snack. Compared with the famous Bu-Er-Fang, Xiong-Er-Jia offers a no-queue, more affordable alternative, well-loved by locals and tourists alike.
