6 Must-Try Dishes at Jingcheng Night Market, Changhua

Super Squid

The reason these dishes are considered “common people’s food” is that the prices are unbelievably low. For just 40 NT dollars, you can get a small squid, and if you buy three, there’s even a discount! Despite not being next to a fishing port, they offer prices that reflect those found in one, showcasing the owner’s generosity. It’s no wonder there’s always a long line; even with the low prices, the owner takes great care to grill each squid individually, resulting in a deliciously charred flavor and a satisfying, chewy texture. This is definitely a must-try!

No.1 Charcoal-Grilled Chicken Cutlet

Another must-try dish that has people lining up is the “Number 1 or Number 2 Charcoal-Grilled Chicken Cutlet.” Freshly fried, these chicken cutlets are golden and crispy. After being dipped in a special sauce, they are grilled over charcoal, which not only locks in the juices but also melds the sweetness of the sauce with the crispy exterior. The aroma wafts through the night market, instantly attracting you as soon as you arrive. The owner also offers customization options, such as adding spiciness or omitting sesame seeds. Once cut, they’re easy to enjoy while strolling around the market!

Wude Charcoal-Grilled Sticky Rice Corn

When visiting a night market, how can you resist grabbing a grilled corn? However, in Taipei, a single grilled corn can easily cost over a hundred NT dollars, which is quite pricey. Surprisingly, in Changhua, you can get three grilled corn for even less than the price of one in Taipei! Located at the entrance of Jingcheng Night Market, Wude Charcoal-Grilled Sticky Rice Corn is a popular spot that often has long lines. It’s best to place your order as soon as you arrive and then explore the market; by the time you’re done, your corn will be ready for pick-up. The freshly grilled sticky rice corn, slathered in sauce and grilled again, is incredibly fragrant and has a delightful chewy texture. Don’t miss out on this treat when you’re at Jingcheng Night Market!

Su Ji Chicken Soup Stew

Drinking chicken soup at a night market? You read that right! This chicken soup stall is one of the must-try spots at Jingcheng Night Market and could easily be crowned as the best night market vendor in central Taiwan! The setup consists of a food truck with tables and chairs nearby. On the truck, you’ll find steam rising from bamboo steamers filled with delicious chicken soup, filling the air with mouthwatering aromas.

With eight different soup options to choose from, the black garlic chicken soup comes highly recommended. Its rich and flavorful broth is a unique offering not commonly found elsewhere. Each bowl is packed with tender chicken that practically melts in your mouth; the meat is so well-cooked that it falls apart with just a touch of your chopsticks. It’s definitely a must-try for a warm and comforting meal!

Candy-Coated French Fries

This candy-coated French fries stall can be easy to miss, as it’s not very large, but the owner enthusiastically calls out to attract customers, so keep your ears open! While the stall is known for its candy-coated sweet potatoes, they also offer golden, crispy French fries coated in the same sweet syrup. The sweetness is just right—not overly sweet—making it easy to keep eating bite after bite. This new take on fries introduces a delightful texture and flavor. If you can’t decide, you can opt for a mixed serving to enjoy both varieties at once!

Songlin Scallion Pancakes

This stall also sees long lines that often extend onto the street. Their hand-rolled pancake dough is fried to a beautiful golden color, offering a texture quite different from regular scallion pancakes. The pancakes are thinner, but the flavor of the dough is rich and aromatic. It’s definitely worth trying for a unique experience! However, if you’re used to the scallion pancakes from Dandan or He Jiajia, you might find this version a bit different from what you’re accustomed to.
