VerdictSeafood snacks by the old street; oyster pork rice is a must

A seafood snack shop near the Four-Eye Well on Magong's Central Old Street. The signature braised pork rice is piled with plump oysters, the squid noodle soup is fresh and sweet, and Penghu dishes like seaweed omelet and sea slug stir-fry round it out. Expect a queue.

Review

Yuanwei Fishing Village Snacks is on Zhongzheng Road in Magong, close to the Four-Eye Well on the Central Old Street, so it is easy to drop by while strolling the old town. Trip.com notes it has appeared on food TV shows, Yam Travel includes it on a list of seafood spots recommended by locals, and Supertaste has featured it as well. It is one of the seafood snack shops visitors to central Magong hear about most.

The signature oyster braised pork rice is topped with a layer of oysters that are fresh and plump over savory braised sauce. The squid noodle soup uses Penghu squid for a fresh, sweet broth. There are stir-fries too, such as seaweed omelet, luffa omelet and the sea slug Penghu people call maa-a-ki, all rarely seen on Taiwan's main island. None of the sources list exact prices, so check the menu on site.

Fans praise the fresh seafood, quick service and friendly staff, saying you get a taste of Penghu's sea at snack prices. Critics find the seasoning heavy and the oyster rice a bit greasy, mention queues at peak times, and some feel prices lean touristy or fall short of expectations. Opinions on the stir-fries vary.

Online listings show it open roughly from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., until 10:30 p.m. on some days, while older articles say 9 p.m.; sources differ, so confirm before you go. Seating is under the arcade and upstairs, with takeaway available. Noon to 1:30 p.m. and after 6 p.m. are busiest, so 2 to 3 p.m. is more relaxed. Parking in the old town lanes is hard, so walk or ride a scooter.

It suits anyone wanting an easy seafood meal in central Magong without ordering a full banquet. Solo diners can get the oyster braised pork rice with a bowl of squid noodles. Groups of two or three can add seaweed omelet, luffa omelet and sea slug to share and sample Penghu home-style seafood.

Why go

  • Order the oyster pork rice and squid noodles
  • Seaweed omelet and sea slug are Penghu specials
  • Come at 2 to 3 p.m. to skip the queue
  • Seating under the arcade and upstairs
  • Seasoning is rich; ask for less sauce if you like
  • Parking is hard in the old town; walk
