It&#039;s open daily from 6:30 AM to 1:00 PM, closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Despite its discreet appearance and lack of a prominent sign, it&#039;s a popular spot for both locals and foodies, often attracting long lines during mealtimes.<\/p>\n<p>Signature dishes include milkfish and oyster congee, braised pork rice, and crispy fish rice. The milkfish and oyster congee uses fresh daily fish, creating a naturally sweet broth with fried garlic and celery for a fragrant aroma.

The crispy fish rice combines braised pork with crispy fish cakes, creating a unique blend of sweet and savory flavors.<\/p>\n<p>Side dishes like braised tofu, meatballs, and sausages are all reasonably priced, flavorful, and generously portioned. Soups like fish ball soup also feature fried dough sticks and fried garlic, creating a rich, complex flavor. Seating is located in the arcade and at the bar. The restaurant is clean and tidy, with sauce bottles kept clean, creating a welcoming and comfortable dining atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, Chuan Jia Salty Congee was recommended by the Michelin Guide, becoming a representative of Tainan&#039;s street food scene.
