Turkey Rice is a MUST EAT in Chiayi Specialty!!
We’ve totally enjoyed this delishiousness in town before, and decided it’s time to brave the infamous queue and finally eat at The Best Turkey Rice in the city known for this simple delicacy.
Asian eaters do not rely on Yelp reviews. The longer the queue, the greater the anticipation!!

Many of the most beloved Asian specialties are originally cheap stomach filling food for common folk peddled generations ago from street carts. This joint has that street cred, in spades!
TURKEY RICE is simply shredded turkey on steamed white rice, drizzled with a shallot infused turkey oil. As with most things in life, the simplest things are the hardest to perfectly replicate day in and day out.
Nose to Tail, and everything in between. We pigged. Started with:
- Duck Eggs fried over ez
- White Bitter Melon
- Dragon Whiskers
Shredded (the classic) and Sliced Turkey Rice.
Pee Goo (tail), the wife’s favorite.
Turkey Wing, chopped into convenient ez gnawable pieces. All embellished with sweet young Taiwan Ginger.
Turkey Testicle Soup. Ultra delicious, almost like plump mini sausages bursting with flavor and succulence.
This restaurant is firing on all cylinders, a well oiled machine. The take out line flowed rapidly, most customers double fisted with at least 8 orders each.
We happily scarfed our 8 order in no time, and wished we had room for more.
Why did the Turkey Cross the Road!?!?!
