正騰和 is a 鹽酥雞 stall, Taiwanese-style salt-and-pepper popcorn chicken. The menu hits all the standard reference points of the genre, plus a couple of fish-cake items rounding out the lineup.
The headline is the popcorn chicken itself, which the stall spells 鹹酥雞 on its big pink banner and 鹽酥雞 on the main price board: same dish, just two interchangeable ways of writing it that you'll see all over Taiwan. A small portion runs NT$50, a large NT$100. This is the default order if you've never had Taiwanese fried chicken before: cubed marinated boneless thigh.
The drumsticks get their own promo sign in yellow, flagged as the stall's featured pick with a five-per-customer limit and a "while supplies last" warning. The math works out to NT$40 per piece, the same as the main board. It's a featured-item callout, not a discount, but it signals the drumsticks as something the stall is proud of.
Then there's 七里香 literally "seven-mile fragrance," the standard euphemism on Taiwanese menus for chicken tail, the parson's nose. NT$30 a skewer. Small, fatty, intensely flavored bites that tend to be either your favorite thing on the menu or a one-time experiment. No middle ground.
The non-chicken half of the menu rounds out the typical fried chicken side selection: cuttlefish balls (花枝丸) at NT$35 a skewer, marlin fish cake (旗魚黑輪) at NT$25 a skewer — 黑輪 being the Taiwanese reading borrowed from Japanese oden — fried pork tenders (豬柳條) at NT$50, and sweet potato fries (地瓜薯條) at NT$50.
The tagline on the banner sums up what the whole genre is trying to deliver: 香酥嫩 — fragrant, crispy, tender.
