A-Nan Shi Folk Snacks

Review

Lukang A-Nan Shi Folk Snacks is at No. 401 Zhongshan Road near Tianhou Temple. A blogger introduces it as the shop that started the annual Lukang temple-front snack banquet, and it focuses on the old-style flavors of banquet chefs. A travel article also mentions a Guinness World Records certificate on the wall for the most people making oyster omelets at the same time, making it a well-known name around the temple that has been open for well over a decade.

The menu is mostly seafood snacks and fried dishes: oyster omelet, shrimp rolls wrapped in caul fat, oyster fritters, shrimp ball soup, chicken rolls, fried mud shrimp and a mixed fried platter. Articles describe the signature shrimp rolls as wrapped in pork caul fat and fried until crisp, with bouncy shrimp and a garlic-chive aroma; the oyster fritters have crunchy edges and use fresh local oysters; the shrimp balls come in a sweet, clear radish broth; the chicken rolls, minced pork and shrimp wrapped in bean curd skin, are highly praised; and brined mud shrimp with roe is salty and great with rice. A 2025 news report puts the oyster omelet at NT$70.

Existing reviews mostly praise the generous fillings, fresh seafood, wide choice of fried items and the old banquet flavor. However, most detailed write-ups online date from 2018 and 2019, and there are few recent tasting notes, so current information is limited. In November 2025 the shop made the news after seven customers ordered a single oyster omelet and held seats for about half an hour. The shop said it has no minimum spend but posted a notice asking each dine-in guest to order at least one meal, fried item or soup, citing rising rent, labor and ingredient costs.

Sources give different hours: on weekdays roughly 10:30 a.m. to about 4:30 p.m., and on weekends until around 8 p.m., so confirm before going. There are about 24 seats, so expect to wait at peak times, and remember the one-order-per-person rule. Another taro ball stall is next door if you want to compare different Lukang taro balls.

It suits anyone who wants to try many kinds of Lukang fried seafood at once or is curious about banquet cooking. For two or three people, each can order a main or soup, then share a mixed fried platter or the caul-fat shrimp rolls, which follows the shop's rule and gives you the widest taste.
