臺灣餐飲老店 Long-established Restaurants in Taiwan

去年(民國102年)蕃薯藤公布全台十大美味炒飯評選的結果，造成十足的話題性，觀察入選名單，前三名皆為北部店家，接著就是位在嘉義的慶昇小館，可說是南部第一名的炒飯。

「慶昇小館」於民國79年開業，當時這一帶為南北貨的集散地，酒家眾多相當繁榮，戲院更是到處林立，慶昇戲院、華南戲院、新榮戲院等都是當時著名的大戲院。創辦人江榮基曾是現在嘉義知名伴手禮福義軒的老師傅，自己也開工廠製餅，但遇餅業蕭條的時期，只能收山另覓新路，恰好親戚是慶昇戲院的經營者，才有幸在慶昇戲院騎樓下擺攤，「慶昇小館」就是因此得名。

The Top Ten Gourmet Fried Rice Ranking in Taiwan published by Yam last year (2013) caused a sensation among the public. Taking a closer look at the shortlist, the top three were restaurants in northern Taiwan followed by CHING-SHENG Restaurant in Chiayi, thus it is said to be the no. 1 fried rice in southern Taiwan. 

CHING-SHENG Restaurant opened for business in 1990. At the time, the region was a blooming distributing center for groceries, and there were also a large number of restaurants and renowned theaters such as Qingsheng (Ching-Sheng) Theater, Huanan Theater, and Xinrong Theater. Restaurant founder Rong-Ji Jiang was the old chef at the now famous souvenir supplier in Chiayi called Fuyishan. Although he too opened up his pastry factory, he was caught in the middle of an economic recession in the pastry industry, therefore he closed the factory and looked for alternative opportunities. Fortunately, one of his relatives is the owner of Qingsheng (Ching-Sheng) Theater and he was allowed to set up a stall at the arcade outside of Qingsheng (Ching-Sheng) Theater, hence the name CHING-SHENG Restaurant.

坐小火車上阿里山，等著看日出是很多人的童年記憶，雲霧氤氳，氣溫低冷的山上，食物彷彿特別好吃，此時若能吃個排骨便當，配一口烏龍高山茶，這滿足難以說明。

阿里山森林鐵路興建於1904年，1912年正式通車。早期功能以載運木材為主，也是山地居民上下山及運輸生活物資的主要工具，奮起湖車站是阿里山森鐵中途大站，一來火車需要保養維護補給，工作人員與乘客也需要用餐，此地地位和位置相形重要，衍生出很多就業機會。登山食堂林志忠的曾祖父，就是在這時來到此地鐵路旁，無攤無店地賣起包子肉粽小吃……。

一冊泛黃的祖傳藥方本子、一幅手推攤前父母笑容滿面的老照片、一天只賣120份當歸鴨的堅持，林家當歸鴨是許多嘉義人從小吃到大的在地小吃，也是出外遊子懷念的家鄉味。

林家當歸鴨第一代從1969年開始經營，從一開始推著攤車，在芒果樹下大水溝旁販賣，後來才改為店面。林家本是中醫世家，從林亮宏的父親開始不再行醫，但林爸爸很珍惜祖父從昭和三年留下的中藥冊，當時決定做小吃時特地從中尋找入菜的配方，就是為了不忘本。這是林家當歸鴨湯頭的由來，也是林家當歸鴨與坊間當歸鴨不同之處。
