如果喜歡吃生炒花枝，住台中市區的朋友應該會知道、不然也曾聽過，就算沒聽過，也看冰箱介紹過這家「一個月只賣4天的隱藏版小店」。
沒有錯，這家位於成都路楓康超市對面的生炒花枝羹，只有每週六晚上在這邊擺攤營業，一擺 20 幾個年頭就過去了。因為一個禮拜只有賣一天，有時熊熊想起來要吃，不是太晚就是已經是禮拜天的事了。所以說，來這邊吃花枝羹還真的要有緣份呀～

If you love raw stir-fried squid, friends living in downtown Taichung should know, or have at least heard of, this hidden gem. Even if you haven't heard of it, you might have seen my previous introduction to this small stall that only operates 4 days a month!
That's right, this raw stir-fried squid thick soup stall, located opposite the Feng Kang Supermarket on Chengdu Road, only sets up here on Saturday nights. It has been operating like this for over 20 years. Because it's only open one day a week, sometimes when I suddenly crave it, it's either too late or already Sunday. So, you really need a bit of destiny to eat here!
1. 週末限定的人氣小攤
這天到附近跟朋友小酌，在要前往下一攤的路上想起來剛好是週六，於是就刻意取道會經過生炒花枝羹的路線。
已經好久沒有來吃了，這回再去發現，花枝羹已經漲到 70 元一碗了。沒辦法，如果大家有在買菜，應該會很清楚這幾年來物價飛漲，花枝這食材實在是越來越貴。店家總是要把成本反映在售價上，只能漲價囉。覺得好貴？那可以不要吃都不會貴~XD
雖然已經過了用餐尖峰時間，客人還是絡繹不絕

It's been a while since my last visit. This time, I noticed the squid thick soup has gone up to 70 NTD a bowl. It can't be helped; if you buy groceries, you know how much prices have soared in recent years, especially for ingredients like squid. The shop has to reflect the costs in their prices. Think it's too expensive? Well, you can choose not to eat it, and it won't cost a thing! XD
I arrived around 9 PM. The fried noodles were already sold out, leaving only fried rice noodles. The dining area looks like this; even past peak hours, customers kept coming in.
2. 中規中矩的機器炒米粉
這天到店約莫 9 點多，店裡炒麵已經完售，只有炒米粉可以選擇。沒錯，這個米粉跟炒麵一樣，都是用機器炒出來的。米粉的表現我個人覺得中規中矩。
3. 誠意滿滿：半碗都是料的生炒花枝羹
花枝羹 (70元) 真的沒有很大碗，剛端上桌時，第一次來的人一定會覺得它好貴。
不過當你拿湯匙往羹湯裡一撈，應該就知道這碗羹貴在哪邊了。雖然不大碗，但是這現炒的花枝羹，碗裡幾乎一半都是花枝。像這種大小的花枝，幾乎是直接對半切，真的是太豪邁了。花枝口感爽脆彈牙，鮮度也還算不錯。
雖然說店家大量採購價格一定比較低，不過以這樣數量的花枝，我們自己去超市賣場買的話，可能就得花個 40 元左右了。這樣一碗賣你 70 元，你還會覺得貴，就真的有點「吃米不知道米價」囉～
這家店從我當兵的時候就開始吃了，算一算應該也吃了將近 15 年以上。這麼長的一段時間，坦白說味道難免有稍微走掉，不過整體上來說，還算不錯吃。可能是因為店家採用保麗龍碗裝，所以整個價值感沒那麼好。一樣的一碗羹，如果把它放在磁碗裡，我想一碗 100 元都不會有人覺得貴，不信可以試試看唷～

Squid Thick Soup (70 NTD): It's really not a big bowl. When it's first served, first-timers will definitely think it's expensive. However, when you dip your spoon in, you'll understand where the value lies. Though small, almost half the bowl is filled with squid.
The squid is cut generously, almost just halved. The texture is crisp and bouncy, and the freshness is quite good. While wholesale prices are lower, if we bought this amount of squid at a supermarket, it would cost around 40 NTD. So, selling it for 70 NTD is quite reasonable; thinking it's expensive shows a lack of understanding of ingredient costs.
I've been eating here since my military days, over 15 years ago. Over such a long time, the taste has inevitably changed a bit, but overall, it's still good. Perhaps serving it in a styrofoam bowl diminishes its perceived value. If this same soup were served in a ceramic bowl, I believe people wouldn't even complain if it cost 100 NTD. Try it and see!
