Diao Min Asia Sauerkraut Fish Fenjia Branch, Chinese restaurant in Xiping Village, Taichung City, Taiwan.
Diao Min Asia Sauerkraut Fish Fenjia Branch is a Chinese restaurant in Xiping Village, Taichung, specializing in fish cooked with pickled vegetables and chili peppers. It sits close to the Feng Chia Night Market and has a large dining room that can accommodate many tables at once.
This location opened as part of the expansion of the Diao Min Asia restaurant group, which brought cooking methods from different parts of China to Taiwan. The Fenjia area, home to one of Taiwan's largest night markets, was chosen as a natural fit for a restaurant drawing large crowds.
Sauerkraut fish is a dish from Chinese provincial cooking that has become popular across Taiwan over the past few decades. In this restaurant, it is served in a large shared pot at the table, which encourages a communal way of eating.
The restaurant stays open daily until the early hours of the morning, making it a practical option after visiting the nearby night market. Waits are common during evening hours, and a QR code system is used to manage the queue, so checking in as soon as you arrive is a good idea.
Every table receives complimentary drinks made from hibiscus and dried tangerine peel without needing to ask, which is an uncommon touch for a large restaurant of this kind. These drinks are offered specifically to balance the heat and richness of the fish dishes.
