ç´ çæå°éµæ¿ç on Lixing Road in Taoyuan District is a local postal-chicken (鹽水雞) and cold-cut shop — the kind of late-night counter that Taoyuan residents treat as a reliable default after dinner hours wind down. If you are after a quick, affordable plate of Taiwanese-style cold chicken and accompaniments after 9 PM, this address is worth knowing. It is not a destination for a special celebration, and it is not competing with Taipei's fine-dining circuit. What it offers is accessibility: easy to visit without a reservation, priced for everyday use, and positioned for the kind of late evening when you want something light and satisfying rather than a full production.
Postal chicken shops of this style are a fixture of Taiwanese street-food culture. The format is self-service or counter-order: you select cold cuts, blanched vegetables, and seasoned chicken pieces, typically priced by weight or by item. The appeal is in the seasoning — the characteristic scent of sesame oil, white pepper, and fresh basil that signals a well-run 鹽水雞 counter. Whether the kitchen here executes that standard well is something the available data cannot confirm in detail, but the address has maintained a local presence on Lixing Road, which in a competitive street-food neighbourhood is a reasonable indicator of continued relevance.
