🤖 AI Editor Summary
Mailiao Shitang gives seafood congee, fried noodles, and stir-fries a quiet, durable homestyle appeal. Fresh seafood anchors the table: mixed fried noodles carry old-fashioned oil-noodle aroma, loofah and clams are sweet and juicy, seafood congee gathers fish, shrimp, oysters, and clams into the broth, and Chuwu Matsusaka Pork adds a crisp contrast. The dining room is small and clean, with a distinctive collection of Godzilla figures throughout, suiting anyone who wants a comforting hot meal and enjoys the personality of a small independent shop.
Mixed Fried Noodles
A large plate of oil noodles carries a familiar old-school aroma, with sauce evenly coating the noodles without becoming overly heavy. Shrimp, squid, pork, liver, and cabbage fill the plate. Fresh seafood keeps the flavors clear: shrimp is springy, squid has bite, and cabbage adds sweet crunch. A little sauce remains at the bottom; mix it through for a smoother texture. Both the portion and toppings are satisfying.
Braised Loofah with Clams
The loofah is cut into large pieces and cooked until tender and juicy without becoming loose or mushy. Clams release their briny sweetness during braising, blending with the natural sweetness of the loofah into a smooth pan sauce that is tasty even by itself. Shredded ginger adds a light warm note so the sweetness does not feel flat. With little complicated seasoning, the dish depends on loofah texture and clam freshness, making it a good lighter plate among richer homestyle dishes.
Seafood Congee
A large bowl of hot congee brings together shrimp, fish skin, clams, squid, oysters, liver, and other ingredients. The first impression is a clean, gently sweet broth, followed by the different flavors of each seafood item. The rice grains stay plump and hold their shape after absorbing the broth, giving this a clearly soupy Taiwanese congee style. The fish skin has no muddy taste, the clams are full, and the oysters carry natural sweetness. If there is an ingredient you do not like, mention it when ordering.
Chuwu Matsusaka Pork
The Matsusaka pork is cooked until the exterior turns golden and crisp, while the meat inside stays tender, crunchy, and springy. Slices rest over onions with lightly pan-fried garlic on the side; garlic aroma and onion sweetness make the pork taste fuller, while a little citrus adds a clean sour note. The dish takes more preparation and requires some patience, but the neat slices and crisp bite make it easy to share.
On a first visit, use Seafood Congee or Mixed Fried Noodles as the main dish and add Braised Loofah with Clams. With a group, include Chuwu Matsusaka Pork to share. Everything is cooked to order, and the pork takes especially long, so ask about timing when seated if you have plans afterward.

🐟 Editor’s closing note
Mailiao Shitang leaves an impression without flashy packaging, relying on fresh ingredients, balanced seasoning, and the warmth of food made to order. Choose loofah and clams for a lighter sweetness, Seafood Congee for an all-in-one bowl, or share the fried noodles and Matsusaka pork.
