40-Year-Old 'Tianfu Braised Duck' in Kaohsiung: Rock Sugar Duck Braised 8 Hours in Chinese Herbs

Tianfu Braised Duck is located at the Zuoying Liberty Evening Market, carrying a 40-year-old family recipe. The owner insists on using freshly slaughtered ducks and chickens, made in limited quantities daily. The signature rock sugar braised duck is braised for 6 to 8 hours in a house blend of Chinese herbs, yielding meat that is firm yet tender, steeped in a sweet-and-savoury sauce. If you enjoy spice, be sure to try the owner's handmade chilli — it's packed with aroma.

Signature Rock Sugar Braised Duck (NT$320 / half)

The rock sugar braised duck is the must-order signature. The duck is carefully plucked and processed daily, then braised for 6 to 8 hours in a house blend of Chinese herbs. The meat is firm without being dry, soaking up the sweet-and-savoury sauce — dangerously moreish. For spice lovers, pair it with the owner's handmade chilli for extra heat.

Smoked Chicken Leg (NT$80)

If you prefer a hearty bite, try the smoked chicken leg. The golden skin is thin and tender, finished with a glaze of meat juices, while the meat is thick and succulent with a rich smoky aroma in every bite.

Braised Snacks: Dried Tofu & Quail Eggs

The rock sugar braised dried tofu (NT$50 per portion) is a popular pick — firm cubes with a distinct soy-bean flavour and a sweet, rich sauce. The braised quail eggs (NT$60 per portion) are a moreish bite-sized snack, thoroughly infused with flavour and soft with a pleasant yolk aroma.

Spicy Duck Blood & Tofu (NT$80 per portion)

Made fresh daily with no beef fat, the spicy duck blood and tofu uses Sichuan Dahongpao peppercorns for a gentle, mildly spicy aroma, served with a spicy broth you can take home and turn into a hotpot. The duck blood is silky and the tofu is plump and juicy.

Scallion-oil Salted Pig's Blood Cake (NT$60)

The pig's blood cake pairs beautifully with scallion-oil fragrance — simple but endlessly satisfying. Braised until soft on the outside, it stays firm with a pleasing rice-grain texture and a light scallion-oil savouriness.
