“Peeled-chili chicken soup's mild heat and sweet finish justify a dinner, while fermented-bean-curd chicken adds crunch. Founded in 1977 and passed to the third generation, it carries veteran context.”

FIRST VISIT

First visit: how to order

01
Confirm soup-pot size for the party

Small parties should ask pot size before choosing sides; groups can begin with one chicken soup, meat, and vegetables to avoid waste.

METROBITES LOCAL TIP
Give the noodles some chicken soup

Thin noodles are dry and mild alone; mix in some chicken soup so they absorb broth and become smoother.

✨ AI Quick Take

雞伯燒酒雞 is a grounded Kaohsiung chicken-soup veteran, now roomier on Bade Second Road. Its aromatic, mildly hot, sweet-finishing peeled-chili soup shows old-shop steadiness.

Uncle's take: A memorable chicken-soup shop proves itself as soon as the pot arrives.
Setting and atmosphere:The Bade Second Road shop has room for round tables and shared chicken dishes. Founded in 1977, it uses free-range hens for sesame-wine chicken, peeled-chili soup, and stir-fries and has Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition.
Location and dining notes:At 高雄市新興區八德二路76-1號, phone 07-285-2222, moved from Zili Second Road and walkable from 捷運美麗島站 (Formosa Boulevard Station) or Kaohsiung Main Station. Open evening to late night, closed Wednesday; reserve for groups and note daily supply.
● Peeled-Chili Chicken Soup

Pepper aroma leads into mellow chicken broth, mild heat, and a clean sweet finish. The free-range base stays smooth and warming.

● Fermented-Bean-Curd Fried Chicken

The crust is crisp without scraping, the meat tender, and fermented-bean-curd flavor restrained enough to preserve chicken.

● Thin Noodles

Simple noodles are mild and a little dry alone, but absorb chicken broth for smoother texture and fuller flavor.

● Sword Bamboo Shoots

This supporting vegetable leans strongly on sauce, covering some natural freshness but adding a bold rice side.
