I felt that these items were pretty unique. They were soft in texture, rather than the usual ‘bouncy’ texture of squid/fish balls. To me, this somehow made them more natural and gave them a home-made quality, which I liked. I guess it depends whether you prefer the bouncy texture or not. Personally, I was happy to try this different style.脆皮糯米釀大腸
This was also nicely done. The intestines were thin and crispy, without excess oil or fat, and the glutinous rice inside was chewy and enhanced with peanuts. 蟹粥
This was slightly disappointing since the taste of crab was weak, and the pieces of crab themselves hardly had any meat/ roe. I think perhaps chiu-chou style congee is not so appropriate for crab congee. 芋泥
Being an ube/taro fan, I really liked this dessert. It was not overly sweet and had a great thick texture that coats the inside of your mouth with a velvety smoothness. 咸檸7
This is also worth mentioning – though it’s a commonplace drink and can be easily made, the large size of the salted lime was memorable and its quality was evidently good. Huge jars of these pickled limes can be bought. Overall, an impressive chiu chou eatery that is very reasonably priced. Too bad it’s not in a very convenient location.
