The freshly fried shrimp rolls are really delicious. The set fish floss rice is filled with fish floss and minced meat. It is delicious and filling when paired with the mixed ball soup. The dessert after the meal is a perfect meal.

The delicious Zhou's shrimp rolls are an add-on option for me to buy high-speed rail tickets. The time of use is flexible, and it is great to share with my family for two round trips.

Zhou's shrimp rolls are really the best in Tainan. The ingredients are good and solid. They are fried and served freshly. The set meal comes with rice and soup. It's really good.

It's really beautiful. On weekdays, there aren't many people and the queue doesn't take long. However, Sicao is relatively remote and it is more convenient to take a taxi so it is not convenient to take a bus.

Great tour, especially considering how it’s (nearly) free of charge. Michael did an excellent job contextualizing all of our stops in the history of the city and region.

It’s nice to have a bowl of Borentang to warm you up in winter. The portion is quite large. There are many kinds of meal options and the store is very friendly.
