Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks

This is a takeout only place, but there are 2 tables on the side that you could sit down to eat there. You could order using your smartphone and their QR code, and they put up an ordering station out front. We ordered their Treasure Rice Box (招牌便當 $15) which is crispy fried chicken. It tasted pretty good and it’s not dry. Portion size is generous. The Fried Tofu (炸豆腐 $8) is also good. Both customizable for spiciness.

Grabbed takeout for lunch from here after having it recommended by the front desk person at my hotel. Got the popcorn chicken box with extra veggies and braised chicken. Arrived at designated pickup time, but order took another 5 mins, which was no big deal, as the gentleman at the window (maybe the owner?) was quite nice and warm in his communication. After a few mins, my name was called and my order handed to me nicely bagged up. Got back to the hotel and every single thing was correct and the food was piping hot and absolutely delicious. I could not finish it all in one meal, either. The fried chicken was really good, the steamed veggies were also great, and the tofu was excellent. The marinated eggs were not as good as the rest of the food (a little overcooked for my taste), but still good enough to make the overall experience a legit 5 stars. I'll be back soon.

The XXL fried chicken is a must get! You get a huge piece of chicken and it's perfectly crispy and piping hot. The ruro rice bowl is also great and affordable. There's no dining space inside, but there are a couple tables right outside for quick snacking.

Crispy chicken with leg & thigh and salt pepper mushrooms are popular. Hope their food quality can be consistent cuz I found eggshell from oyster omelette.
