Trivia
[For Health Conscious] A staple in Taiwanese eatery 'Xiaocai' corners. Prone-to-dry chicken breast transforms into a juicy dish absorbing sauce to the limit via Taiwan's tech of 'cooling in water' and labor of 'hand-shredding'. A magic chicken dish gym-goers/dieters won't tire of eating daily.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Pour massive Taiwanese 'chili oil (Hongyou)' and crushed 'peanuts', eating it numb/spicy like Sichuan-style 'Mouth-watering Chicken (Koushui Ji)'!
