Whatever is 豆乳雞?

First time I ever heard of 豆乳雞. It's basically fried chicken wings chopped up into bits, and again good pals of mine would know I'm a sucker for the sharp tail-end of chicken wings. But alas, I can't request for that part specifically in my packet of 豆乳雞 (NTD50 for a small packet, again quite expensive)


You know why? We have to call 30mins in advance to CHECK if there are still chicken left, not confirmed have. Walk-in customers have to wait for as long as 40mins, and they're happy to do so! You've got to be kidding me man.

They have a number-board like Bingo! where customers get allocated specific time slots in 5mins intervals to come collect their deep-fried treats. Eg. two customers might both have No.28 and one to collect at 7pm and the other at 8pm provided there's a complete cycle in 1hr (which i assure you there definitely is).

Just fried chicken? What's the big deal? Well, I was lucky to collect mine freshly fried. Crunchy, ok. Taste, slightly peppery with curry flavouring. Given that it's not exactly cheap, I've come to a conclusion that Taiwanese are really more food-mad compared to Singaporeans. Millionaires $$$ are made here with a loyal foodie-following. I'm in the wrong line...

Healthnut Rating:
Comments: Well, I tried it to see what's all the hype about. It makes for a good stomach filler when rushing from place to place without a proper meal, or just before a heavy drinking session. Half a nut rating because I could've taken a shower if that big wok of oil used to fry the wings had been water.
