🍗 Large Fried Chicken: A huge fried chicken fillet that's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

🌭 Grilled Taiwanese Sausage: A sweet and savory sausage that's grilled to perfection and served on a stick. Try the ones with glutinous rice wrapped on the outside, so yummy! it’ll fill you up very fast too, so best to have a friend to share the load.
