Go-to Taiwanese delivery comfort food?

The dumpling place I mentioned was linked above, but there are others around if you google.

As for the Duck just google as I didn’t have a particular place in mind, in Pingtung City they are ten a penny.

Since the topic deals with delivery, I guess you’d have to order it through Uber eats. I don’t often go for delivery, preferring dining in. Delivery food often gets cold.

Me too, that’s why I’m stoked at the location of my new apartment—there are literally dozens of food places just a block or two from my house, many that you can eat in at :yum:

The real authentic ones I think use shrimp shells to make the broth, and has a good amount of garlic in the sauce.

Thing is unless you’re living really out in the sticks, there’s a taiwanese food stand within reasonable walking distance. If there wasn’t by the time the food got to you it’s likely unfit for consumption.

You are welcome, I wish someone else would start a similar thread

And yet, so few recommendations for restaurants in Kaohsiung. I wonder if your thread will get more than the 0 I see so far…

Taksim Turkish, Belfort Bistro, and Don Burrito, are always great meals. I can’t help with good Taiwanese food in Kaohsiung, might as well go looking for a unicorn, more likely to stumble upon otters in the wild of Taiwan than good food in Kaohsiung

OP asked for delivery suggestions for Taiwanese comfort food and wasn’t being location specific. I feel like every stayed on the original premise.

We can give K-town suggestions, but I think the last time we tried this, you weren’t very impressed either.

Um

If you think they can order from random restaurants and get something satisfying, you obviously don’t live down here. Or maybe you think they should order delivery from Taipei? That fits my understanding of hot and fresh taiwaneze food
:rofl:


Can you? Wouldn’t that be helpful? He pointed out my burger thread, very specific

Last time the response was the same non response you are guvibg now

Hey, if anyone can suggest a delivery item that is specific, I’d be curious to see. My experience in is people don’t. Maybes cant, maybe won’t

I don’t order deliveries, so I’m just giving comfort food ideas. Most of the great meal places probably don’t deliver because unless they have really limited seating, good places usually don’t need to pay Uber East or Food Panda for additional customers.

But for 湯包, 牛肉捲餅, or 碗粿 places, you can definitely find places that are decent and will do delivery.

部隊鍋. I really like budae-jjigae, but it can vary in quality by quite a bit (even in Korea). So it might take a few times before you find a place that does it well. Also, would this be good for delivery? I mean the cheese on top and ramen are usually added last, and are usually not cooked so thoroughly when you start on the dish when dining in. It would be different to get everything already all cooked completely.

Good point about delivery. Might not ruin it but it wouldn’t be the same.

I don’t know about K Town but I’ll take some good 酸辣湯 and 鍋貼。

I just want some steak… maybe Taiwanese style, but out of real steak, not this glued together shit that the Taiwanese restaurants use.

For delivery? I had that once in the COVID times, and thought it was awful. Normally good food ruined by being in a container for 20-30 minutes, or however long it took.

I’ve found shuijiao travel relatively well, but not guotie.

I don’t order from chains like 八方雲集 so I was thinking of one place in particular that makes these crispy jumbo guotie 褡褳火燒 that are great.

Uánn-kué in the north has no sauce and no filling. It only has little pieces of pickled radish sprinkled on top.

Tànn-á-mī in the north skips the crucial and time consuming steps of making the broth from shrimp shells.

Lunch now, take away

Interesting no sauce up north and no meat, quite different taste then. (They must have option to add sauce if you ask???)


Something I want try in old Hsinchu markets (my co workers/business partners always choose “nicer” place ah)
Maybe when it cools down (it never too cold in Taiwan for me)

The sauce that’s added on top would usually be your typical run-of-the-mill starched soy sauce.
