Arguably one of Japan's finest culinary
exports, Teppenyaki (also known as Tepanyaki) makes
for a visually interesting, tasty meal. Teppenyaki refers
to the process of frying a selection of vegetables and
meats on a metal counter-top in full view of waiting
diners. Meats on offer include beef (NT$90), pork/chicken/mutton
(NT$80 - NT$90), fish (cod or salmon - NT$90), crab
(NT$120) and shrimp (NT$100). Vegetables are mostly
the normal fare and go for around NT$80. Your order
is accompanied by bean sprouts and cabbage and you can
choose to add fried egg for NT$30. All of this is then
eaten with a bowl of rice (NT$10). One of its biggest
attractions, apart from the low prices, is that you
can have your meal and be on your way in less than 30
minutes if you so choose. Kaohsiung's best-known Teppenyaki
outlets can be found on SanDuo 3rd Road, JiouRu 2nd
Road (just East of where JiouRu crosses MinTzu after
the underpass) and on the corner of MingCheng and FuMin
Roads (although the latter is under different ownership).
English menus are available, but otherwise it's Chinese
only.
