I wanted to try this stall in spite of the recent bad reviews. While I was glad to try it, it was not worth the wait.
The owner doesn't speak much English but here's what to do, for others who might want to try:
It can be confusing, but to enter the line, you queue on the right hand side of the stall. The owner will hand you a plastic basket. Use the metal tongs to grab what you want and put it in the basket. Then, resume queueing from the left side of the stall to pay. The prices for each item is on the left side of the stall.
Then it becomes extra confusing. Because as you are waiting to pay, people will randomly come by and buy food ahead of those already in line. Why, no idea.

This is a pity because the food actually tasted great. (The chilli is bomb!) It’s obvious he doesn’t care about his reviews here but dishonest business practices are a big no-no no matter how good the food is or how famous...
Read moreTo all travelers planning to try this street stall, please be cautious—you might end up with food poisoning! I ate there the night before my departure from Taiwan and woke up in the middle of the night with stomach aches. During my flight, I felt nauseous and even threw up.
On top of that, the owner added more food than what I selected in my basket and charged me extra for items I didn’t even ask for. Make sure to check Google reviews before you...
