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.

Compared with the famous Bu-Er-Fang, Xiong-Er-Jia offers a no-queue, more affordable alternative, well-loved by locals and tourists alike.
