Mentioning the prepared delicacies at the Xin Zhuang Public Market, A Bao Roast Chicken is an absolute must-try—their roast chicken has been sold on the first floor of the market for over 50 years. The female owner, Li Bao Gui, of this veteran stall is actually the second-generation owner of the famous "Tong Bao Eating House," a well-known eatery in Xin Zhuang's old street since the Japanese colonial period. Li Bao Gui's traditional-style roast chicken consistently sells hundreds of chickens during weekends at her small stall, with peak sales of up to 500 during the recent Lunar New Year, clearly demonstrating Xin Zhuang residents' deep love for A Bao Roast Chicken. The A Bao roast chicken boasts an exceptional and unique cooking method: freshly slaughtered warm carcass chickens are thoroughly cleaned, marinated in exclusive homemade seasonings until the flavors fully penetrate the meat, and then hung in traditional ovens. Under the intense roasting heat, the chicken skin turns alluringly golden and glossy, while the meat remains tender and juicy, bursting with an indescribable savory richness and the authentic old-time flavor from the past. This has attracted many aged food connoisseurs to travel long distances for the taste, often purchasing several extra chickens to take home and savor the cherished flavor again and again.
