Hsin Tung Yang Foods (新東陽) is a famous Taiwanese meat and sausage company. They currently have 46…read moreretail store in Taiwan. According to the company's website they've been in business since 1967 starting out as selling BBQ pork out of a small shop near where the current Hsin Tung Yang's Wanhua store is located in Taipei. Whenever I am in Taiwan I always have to stop and get a box of their famous Pork Jerkey. As Ken K. said in his review...its too bad you can't bring it back to the US. Although last year my sister accidently brought back some in her suite case...sneaky! I have been eating their sachima cake treats since I can remember. Sachima are basically the Chinese version of rice crispy but made with flour and instead of vanilla and marshmallow its made with sugar and sesame seeds. The Taiwanese version is similar to the Cantonese version where it is slightly sweet. I've had sachima by other companies but no one can make them like Hsin Tung Yang. Their sachima is sticker and more moist....keeping your dentist in business for years to come.... They also make lots of other Taiwanese snacks such as peanut brittle and dried tofu snacks. I think their products tends to be superior over their competitors because I think they use better quality ingredients and they stick to tried and true products. This location in San Francisco was established in 1979 and is where Hsin Tung Yang's US jerky is made from. As others have pointed out it doesn't taste the same. Its sad but true. But it's still pretty good. 1347review 5/3/2018 267th for 2018

Hsin Tung Yang Foods Co. has physical business headquarters located in South San Francisco, and is…read morethe US sales office of the parent company that originated in Taiwan US website: http://www.htyusa.com/ Taiwan site: http://www.hty.com.tw/ Hsin = New Tung = Eastern Yang = Sun (or in Chinese medical terms, the male organ...) The SSF office I visited one time and they don't really sell products, but do have a refrigerator of some of their offerings on display. However you can find a majority of their products online for purchase, as well as your friendly neigbhorhood A$N $upermarket, be it mom & pop, or big name chain like Marina, Lion, or 99. But buyer beware. Most of the HTY food products are mostly made in the USA. Nothing wrong with that, but they will not taste anywhere near as good as the equivalents of the HTY offerings that are made in Taiwan (especially PORK and BEEF related products, like jerky or preserved sausage....I guess a well represented male organ shaped object if you will). You will find a Hsin Tung Yang in TPE international airport (Zhong Zhen airport in Taoyuen County), although you'd have to be a real ass smuggla (or butt pirate) to get any meat products through the gates upon arrival in the US. So just stick with safe and ok products. For what it is worth, the HTY brand of their Plum Drink (Gwei Hua Suan Mei Tang) is half decent, even though it doesn't come close to the kind in Taiwan. About $2.20 at your A$N supermarket if they have it, brown bottle with Chinese and English characters. Ingredients: plum, dried hawthorne, dried orange peel, honey, sugarcane, spring water, liquorice, malic acid, osmanthus flavor This bottle however appears to be imported from Taiwan, rather than made in the USA.

Freshly cooked skewer meats, sticky rice, soup and drinks. You can buy veggies and fruits too. Wow... it was amazing. In addition to the grilled foods, there was a Jamaican vendor that sold oxtails, chicken and more. Must try when visiting... his food was bold and delicious. Parking is available on the streets. Bring your own chair if you plan to eat outside. BRING CASH... no tax... no restroom...

Chicken wasn't glazed in sweet sauce while being grilled. Lots of caramelization from the sugars in the marinade. With hints of lemongrass, fish sauce, garlic. :: K.S. ASIAN FOODS - only stand that makes food "made-to-order" so you'll get a fresh, hot item! Pad Thai was delicious! I wish I found this stand first as they offered larb, nam khao, noodles hot! :: BBQ STAND - 9Tailz Smokehouse - nice smoked ribs with loaded baked potato and jalapeño mac and cheese - great smoked meats without sauce! Chef super friendly and offers samples :: KHAO POON stand - only one selling Lao rice noodle soup with chicken, coconut milk with depths of flavor! So delicious. Once you go, you'll find your favorites and remember for next time. One stand selling Lao sausages (pic provided) was good but too sweet for my liking... All stands are mom and pops so don't have signage with a name and most likely not permitted. This is truly Southeast Asian street food. So if you're squeamish about people using gloves and cooking from an inspected kitchen this place isn't for you. I had one friend who wasn't eating much....and yeah, you're taking your chances with ANY street vendor. TIPS if visiting from out of town: :: NO RESTROOMS. Closed due to an unhoused torching it - find one after exiting freeway before heading to the park :: CASH only - mom and pop vendors. Most Southeast Asian items $12 and under. Skewers $2 :: UTENSILS, paper towels, storage containers :) Bring your own. Some provide but most do not :: COOLER or INSULATOR bag - plenty of good food to take home! :: Hand wipes or sanitizers for before/after you eat No tables so you end up eating in your car unless you bring chairs. SATURDAY VISIT 11:30am Plenty of street parking along the perimeter of the park but by 130pm started to get busy. With all the wonderful smells of grilled meats, lemongrass and pungent smell of fish sauce and shrimp paste you may get a bit overzealous and try everything. NOTE: fried items (most pre-made) much better when re-heated at home Would return but definitely not in the summer where it gets hot and food sitting would make me question buying. Open 7-days a week but more food vendors on the weekend! K.S. Asian Foods is there 7 days a week...wonderful older couple working there and will be my go to...

He was incredibly welcoming, genuinely passionate about his craft, and took the time to walk us through a variety of olive oils and balsamic vinegars without ever making it feel like a sales pitch. He encouraged us to sample numerous combinations, explained the different flavor profiles, and answered every question with enthusiasm. You can tell he truly enjoys helping people find something they'll love. The shop itself has a warm, rustic charm that makes you want to slow down and browse. There is an impressive selection of olive oils and balsamic vinegars, from classic everyday staples to unique flavors that you probably wouldn't think to try until you taste them. Whether you're a serious home cook or just looking for a unique gift or something to elevate your next meal, Del Oliva is absolutely worth a visit.
