Woosa is a restaurant and bar serving Taiwanese and Fujian food, located at the end of the Mix320 complex on Wuyi Lu in Changning. It’s run by a couple of Taiwanese F&B veterans and is co-branded with local beer 30KM.

The Space

It’s a large space; the dining area is split into two parts, front and back of the venue. It’s comfortable, but not particularly cozy, however, it does gets brownie points for being dog-friendly inside. Woosa also has a massive outdoor area with covered seating.

The Food

The menu features classic dishes like lu rou fan (braised pork rice), san bei ji (three cup chicken), and beef and radish stew, as well as typical snack items like basil fried chicken. It’s tasty stuff, especially the san bei ji, which comes with pig’s blood cake, a delicious delicacy usually found at street stalls.

Three Cup Chicken, San Bei Ji

The San Bei Ji (三杯鸡, ¥88) is a must-order. So named for its recipe, which calls for a cup each of rice wine, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Chicken pieces are fried with aromatics and flavored with rice wine and soy sauce, and is then simmered down to a sticky coating before being tossed with fresh Thai basil. It’s easily likeable.

Their version comes with an additional treat: fried pig’s blood cake, made with glutinous rice and pig’s blood. It’s crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, a cross between mochi and rice cake. Also has mushrooms and a finishing splash of baijiu.

Another usual suspect is the Lu Rou Fan (卤肉饭, ¥38/large, ¥10/small). Pork belly braised with aromatics, soy sauce, rice wine, mushrooms, and five spice, served over rice with pickled cucumber and sour plum. It’s a rich and fatty dish. Highly recommended.

Another night market staple is the Seafood Omelet (海鲜煎, ¥68). A good omelet or pancake is usually gooey, chewy, and sticky, a desirable texture achieved by mixing potato starch and cornstarch with egg, and slightly crisped on the edges.

This omelet is spot on, laden with not just oysters but also prawns and cabbage. Drizzled over with a sweet chili sauce.

Next up, the Hakka Stir-Fry (客家小炒, ¥58), a medley of crispy pork belly, semi-dried squid, tofu, and mushrooms, seasoned with rice wine, pepper, and aromatics, imbued with wokhei. Excellent drinking snack or with rice. Highly addictive.

Basil Fried Chicken (九层塔盐酥鸡, ¥38) – Fried chicken lightly seasoned and tossed with basil.

Recommended! Worth going just for the seafood omelet and three cup chicken.
