Xue Jia Wheel Cake (學甲人車輪餅)

No. 203之2號, Wenhua Rd, Xitun District, Taichung City, 407

Wheel cakes are named after their round shape that is similar to those of the wheels. It is similar to a waffle with feelings inside. Some stores sell savory feelings and some sell sweet feelings as a dessert. The store here only sells sweet feelings. They have 6 flavors ranging from red bean, white cream, taro, white radish, peanut, and chocolate.

As a foreigner myself, wheel cake is something that is very close to my heart. This is because wheel cake is very Taiwanese but feels close to home. In Indonesia, we have nothing like the wheel cake but somehow the taste is very familiar.It is similar to that of a custard pie that also uses custard as its feeling. Many other countries also use custard and chocolate for dessert’s feeling so it is very familiar to us foreigners.

In Xue Jia Wheel Cake, they have 6 flavors ranging from red bean, white cream, taro, white radish, peanut and chocolate. What makes Xue Jia Wheel cake so special from other wheel cake in Taiwan? Well, the outer cake is very crispy and have a hint of sesame fragrance. The grandpa also gives a lot of filling so it is very warm and have a burst of flavor when we bite into it. Yes, when I say Grandpa I mean the old men who own Xue Jia Wheel Cake. He is very nice even to foreigners. I remember my own experience buying in my early days in Taiwan when I can only speak little to no Chinese but the grandpa still serves me patiently.

The price in Xue Jia is also the cheapest among other wheel cakes in Feng Chia. Usually it ranges around 19ntd to 25ntd but Xue Jia only sell from 10ntd to 13ntd. Most foreigners do not know about this place because it is not located in the main area of the night market. It is in the opposite direction of the night market. I also know this place from a Taiwanese friend when I used to live in the Feng Chia dormitory. This shop is in a way with Feng Chia dormitory so you can buy it when you want to go home to the dorm.

以我作為一個外國人的角度來說，車輪餅是我非常熟悉的東西。這是因為雖然車輪餅是非常地道的台灣料理，但對我來說卻有著家的感覺。在印度尼西亞，我們沒有像車輪餅那樣的東西，但不知為何，它的味道讓我對他感到非常熟悉。

學甲人車輪餅一共有著：紅豆、奶油、芋頭、白蘿蔔、花生、巧克力6種口味的車輪餅。是什麼讓雪家輪餅與台灣的其他輪餅如此特別？嗯，外面的蛋糕很脆，有一絲芝麻香味。爺爺也給了很多餡，所以它很溫暖，當我們咬一口的時候，它的味道會迸發出來。是的，我說爺爺是指那些擁有雪家輪餅的老人。他甚至對外國人也很好。我記得我早年在台灣買的經歷，當時我只會說很少甚至不會說中文，但爺爺仍然耐心地為我服務。

在逢甲的車輪餅中，學甲人車輪餅的價格也是最便宜的。通常一般店家的價格範圍是在 19ntd 到 25ntd 左右，但學甲人只賣 10ntd 到 13ntd。大多數外國人不知道這個地方，因為它不在夜市的主要區域。它與夜市相反。以前住在逢甲宿舍的時候也是通過台灣朋友的介紹才知道這一家店的。

Chicken Chop All Around the World
(全國大腿排)

No. 38, Lane 20, Fengjia Rd, Xitun District, Taichung City, 407

There are so many places to eat in the night market but I must introduce you to this chicken chop place. It is called Chicken Chop All Around The World. Why this name? Well, the name explains itself. They have chicken dishes cooked based on many different countries. For example, they have the Korean Chicken cooked with that thick Gojujjang sauce (red sauce) that is the signature for Korean Chicken. They also have Thailand, Japan, and many other countries’ chicken cuisine.

The price is also very affordable for students. It ranges from 50Ntd to 100Ntd. The most important thing is that they always give a lot of sauce to their chicken. The chicken itself is very juicy and the outer layer is very crispy and fragrant. For the Taiwanese chicken chop I must say it is a flavor bomb because they deep fried it first and then they grilled it with the sauce. I love to eat their chicken because it is very filling. I usually eat it with rice or noodles if I am craving carbs. Another specialty of this chicken chop place is that it opens in hours that many other shops are closed. It opens from 3:30PM–1AM. You can also order it on Uber Eats with the same name (全國大腿排).

This chicken chop is very popular among the locals, and I personally love it because I can eat it when I miss home. Some days when I feel like eating other countries’ chicken, I always go for all around the world chicken chop. I know this place also from the recommendation of my Taiwanese friend that said that this is a hidden gem I must try.

It is a shame that not many foreigners know about this place because when you search in Google for the most popular Chicken Chop, it will show the Devil’s Chicken or Angel’s Chicken. I suggest this place if you want to eat something comforting when you are homesick or you want a taste of how chicken in other countries taste like.

全國雞排

這家雞排店非常特別，因為它們有很多種口味。對於學生來說，價格也非常實惠。最重要的是雞肉本身非常多汁，外層非常香脆。

我喜歡吃他們的雞肉，因為它很厚。如果我想吃碳水化合物，我通常會配飯或麵一起吃。這家雞排店的另一個特色是它的營業時間，在其他店關門後還是有營業。營業時間下午 3:30 至凌晨 1 點。你也可以在 Uber Eats 上點她們的餐點（全國大腿排）。

這個雞排在當地人中很受歡迎，我個人很喜歡它，因為我想回家的時候可以順便去吃。有時候想吃雞排的時候，總會去吃這家全國雞排。我也是從我的台灣朋友的推薦中知道這個地方的，他說這是我必須嘗的隱藏美食。

Yu Pin Yuan Tangyuan（冰火湯圓）

No. 2號, Lane 127, Wenhua Rd, Xitun District, Taichung City, 407

Tangyuan is a traditional Chinese dessert made of glutinous rice flour served in soup. The name of tāngyuán is a metaphor from 團圓 tuányuán which means family reunion. For your information, tangyuan and mochi are quite similar but actually are served in different ways. Mochi is usually eaten dry but tang yuan has to be served with soup.

Tangyuan balls can be either small or large and filled or unfilled. In Indonesia, we have a similar dish named ‘ronde’ and is usually served with ginger soup and peanuts. However, this particular shop served tangyuan with their own unique creation. Why unique? Just look at the name, Bing huo means ice and fire which means that they serve the hot tangyuan above the ice.

As you can see in the menu, they have two main fillings which are peanuts and black sesame. Tangyuan also can be eaten with shaved ice or hot soup combined with their signature osmanthus syrup. The price range starts from 70-100NT$. Disclaimer that this tangyuan is not vegetarian friendly because it contains pork skin, Also if you have an allergy to peanuts, you can order the black sesame instead.

Another thing you should try is their fermented rice soup. Their fermented rice soup is also popular among Taiwanese people, especially older people. Sometimes, when the weather gets colder, a lot of people would order their fermented rice soup and egg to warm their bodies. Fermented rice soup not only tastes good but is also good for your health because it can act as an anti-inflammatory for your skin, cure digestion problems, and also help women to reduce menstrual cramps. However, I wouldn’t recommend people who drive to consume it because it contains alcohol.

This is also a great place for young people or families who want to sit and have a chit-chat because there is no time or order limitation plus their opening hours start from 5 pm-12 am. You are also allowed to bring food or snacks from outside.

This dessert is mostly consumed during the lantern festival and winter solstice. Another fun fact about consuming tangyuan during the winter solstice is that you shouldn’t eat an odd number of tangyuan because it will lead to frequent loneliness in the coming year. I often go there for their shaved iced tangyuan, it is rich in flavors, mainly sweet.

Not only that, but this place also provides a free refill of osmanthus syrup and lemon juice to add to your tangyuan. I really recommend this place for you because even though they are quite popular among Taiwanese, not a lot of foreigners come here to visit. This is more than the mochi you know. Definitely worth it.

湯圓是一種傳統的中國甜點，用糯米粉做成湯。湯圓球可大可小，裡面可以放餡料，也可不放。在我的家鄉印度尼西亞，我們有一道類似的菜餚叫 “ronde”，它通常會配上薑湯和花生。然而，這家特別的店以自己獨特的創作呈現出一種新的湯圓的吃法。

正如你在菜單中看到的，他們有兩種主要的餡料，花生和黑芝麻。湯圓還可以搭配刨冰或熱湯搭配招牌桂花糖漿食用。

您可以嘗試的他們的發酵米湯。他們的發酵米湯在台灣人中也很受歡迎，尤其是老年人。當天氣變冷時，很多人會點他們的發酵米湯和雞蛋來溫暖他們的身體。但是，我不建議開車的人食用它，因為它含有酒精。對於想要坐下來聊天的年輕人或家庭來說，這也是一個很好的地方，因為沒有時間或訂單限制，而且他們的營業時間是從下午 5 點到凌晨 12 點。您也可以從外面帶食物或零食來到店面享用。

他的價格範圍從 70-100NT$ 起。這種甜點主要在元宵節和冬至期間食用。湯圓的名字也是團圓 tuányuán 的比喻，意思是家庭團聚。我經常去那裡吃他們的刨冰湯圓，味道很豐富，主要是甜的。

不僅如此，這個地方還提供免費補充的桂花糖漿和檸檬汁，以添加到您的湯圓中。我真心的向您推薦這個地方，因為即使它們在台灣人中很受歡迎，但沒有多少外國人來這裡參觀。這不僅僅是你所知道的麻糬。絕對值得。

Heartache Capsule Toy
(心痛扭蛋)

407台中市西屯區慶和街90號

Some people might be wondering about that why the name of the shop called ”The Heartache Gachapon ”. This is due too if you go to that shop , you will find out that there is a special Gachapon machine named “The Heartache Gachapon Machine”. There is a notice on that machine said that be prepared to be heartache/heartbreaking after you dropped your money. After u open your Gachapon, you will only get a note that write “The biggest pain in your life path is you get nothing from a Gachapon”. The reason of the owner to set up a prank like this is just because we wanted to fill up those empty machine before the new Gachapon arrive. The owner also said that because it just a prank, if the customer want its money back, the owner will like to return the money to them too.

Besides that , the shop not only have those prank machine, the others Gachapon are usually imported from japan and some of it are from the local designer in Taiwan. They also prepared a lot of blind box of different theme for those people who like surprise to buy it. The quality of its product its really good and it looks exquisite.

可能有人會疑惑，為什麼店名叫“心痛扭蛋”。這也是因為如果你去那家商店，你會發現有一種特殊的扭蛋機，名為“心痛扭蛋機”。那台機器上有一條告示，說要做好掉錢後心痛/心碎的準備。打開扭蛋後，你只會得到一張紙條，上面寫著“人生道路上最大的痛苦是你從扭蛋中一無所獲”。店主之所以設置這樣的惡作劇，只是因為我們想在新扭蛋到來之前把那些空機器填滿。店主還表示，因為這只是個惡作劇，如果顧客想要退錢，店主也會把錢還給他們。

除此之外，店裡不僅有那些惡作劇的扭蛋機，其他扭蛋一般都是從日本進口的，有的出自台灣本土設計師之手。他們還為喜歡驚喜的人準備了很多不同主題的盲盒。它的產品質量非常好，看起來很精緻。

MENmonster Ramen
MENmonster 拉麵

407037台中市西屯區慶和街32號

I’m highly recommended that this ramen shop if u haven’t try it before. It’s a very special ramen shop compare to others ramen shop. It located at a alley besides Fengchia night market . First for all, the environment of the shop its really good, the seat is bar table that surround the kitchen, so that u could saw the process of how the owner prepare your food. By the way, they are also using electronic kitchen facilities so that is more safety and they can also avoid those oily smoke problems .

Furthermore, the menu are totally different from the others ramen shop you could found. Spices braised prawn ramen, Salted grapefruit citrus chicken soup ramen……………etc. You also can select the saltiness of the soup and the hardness of the noodle. I order comprehensive spices ramen with the Japanese saltiness which is more salty and also the normal hardness of the noodle last time. When the ramen was serve , I can smell the aroma of the of spices, when I taste the broth, the flavor that combine several types of spices explode in mouth, it make me want to keep going with that ramen; the noodles are just perfect good, the texture of the chicken and pork inside the ramen is soft, the flavor is really good; By the way, you must try the half boiled egg too, it’s a great combination with the ramen. You could also ask the owner refill your noodle or rice for free if you are not full enough.

如果你以前沒有嘗試過，我強烈推薦這家拉麵店。與其他拉麵店相比，這是一家非常特別的拉麵店。它位於逢甲夜市旁邊的一條小巷裡。首先，店裡的環境真的很好，座位是圍著廚房的吧台桌，可以看到店主準備食物的過程。順帶說一句，他們也在使用電子廚房設施，這樣更安全，也可以避免那些油煙問題。

此外，菜單與您可以找到的其他拉麵店完全不同。香料紅燒大蝦拉麵、鹽漬柚子柑橘雞湯拉麵………………等。您還可以選擇湯的鹹度和麵條的硬度。我點了綜合香料拉麵，日式鹹味更咸，還有上次麵條的正常硬度。拉麵上桌時，我能聞到香料的香味，當我嚐到肉湯時，幾種香料混合在一起的味道在口中爆炸，讓我想繼續吃那拉麵；麵條剛剛好，拉麵裡面的雞肉和豬肉質地柔軟，味道非常好；順便說一下，你也一定要嚐嚐半熟的雞蛋，它和拉麵的搭配很棒。如果你不夠飽，你也可以請店主免費補充你的麵條或米飯。

polite outfit

Let me introduce the owner of this shop first

The owner of this store graduated from the Department of Radio and Television of National Taiwan University Of Art, but the reason why he opened this clothing store is because when he was in college, he originally liked to wear different styles of clothes, so he also wanted to help students try different styles.That’s why he decided to open this clothing store near Feng Chia University

And the reason why I recommend this shop is because I like the owner’s idea : “dress up as you like, and be a polite person.” Respecting your’s dress is also a kind of etiquette. The second point is that their products are cheap and beautiful! In addition to vintage clothes, the owner will also choose some second-hand good-looking clothes for people who may want to try on but can’t afford new clothes.

And I think the most interesting part of this clothing store is that the owner of this store will help you match the clothes. you can choose the type or color of the clothes you like, and then he will according to your body shape and personal characteristics. Set of clothes for you.

馬可有禮貌穿搭

先來介紹一下這家店的老闆，他是台藝大廣播電視系畢業的，但他之所以開了這家服飾店是因為大學時，他本來就很喜歡穿搭不一樣風格的衣服，所以他也想幫助大學生穿搭，所以他才決定開了這家店服飾店在逢甲附近。

而我之所以推薦這間店是因為我很喜歡老闆的理念：「隨心所欲的裝扮自己，當個有禮貌穿搭的人」，尊重自己的打扮也同時也是一種禮儀。第二點是他們家的東西很便宜又很好看！除了古著外，老闆也會挑一些二手好看的衣服讓可能想嘗試穿搭，但又負擔不起全新衣服的人去做挑選

而且這家服飾店我認為最有趣的地方就是老闆會幫你配衣服，你今天可以把你喜歡的衣服種類或顏色說出來，接下來老闆就會依照你的身材和個人特質再加上老闆對衣服穿搭的見解去搭配屬於你的整套衣服。
