Madame Tian's "Taijiang Gastronomy Stack" is located near the Si-Cao Mangrove of the Taijiang Eco-Cultural Park, with an entrance area abounding with various flowers and plants, offering a lush green atmosphere.
The Taijiang region is renowned for its abundant fresh oyster and croaker production, which ranks first in Taiwan, along with premium farmed products such as grass shrimp and Taiwanese red snapper. The restaurant owner owns her own fishponds, ensuring the use of the freshest local ingredients for all dishes. They also provide customized cooking methods based on customers' requests, with possible opportunities to enjoy the owner's secret menu delicacies upon advance reservations.
The key feature of the restaurant is freshness. Seasonal local ingredients are selected and prepared using traditional local cooking methods to deliver both delicious and healthy meals.
**Croaker Belly**
The croaker belly is rich in oils and has minimal bones, making it the most exquisite part of the croaker. One of the most popular cooking methods is dry-fried croaker belly, where the skin is crisply pan-fried while the meat remains tender and juicy. The melting richness of the belly simply dissolves upon entry, greatly exciting the appetite.
**Croaker Skin**
After gentle pan-searing, the springy croaker skin becomes aromatic, full of collagen, and incredibly nutritious — naturally a beauty-enhancing tonic.
**Croaker Sausage**
Unlike typical sausages which tend to be greasy, the croaker sausage made with fresh croaker stuffing has no fishy odor. Its meat texture is finer and smoother than pure pork sausage, with a sweeter, more fragrant flavor.
