Hsu-Ji Shengjian bao: The meat filling inside the shengjian bao is already seasoned, and is delicious even without adding soy sauce.The outer skin is fried until crispy, and sesame seeds are sprinkled to top it off, leading Suzuki to praise its taste and deliciousness.

Lantern Soy Sauce Braised Food — first store: Taiwan’s braised dishes, also known as “lu wei” (滷味) have a strong and special taste.All the ingredients absorb the broth and sauce, earning Suzuki’s love for it.

How come I only just discovered it now?”Suzuki recommends this snack for first-timers in Shida Night Market.
