After being entirely unimpressed with seeing sausages left out in the sun on a bright sunny day, we decided to hunt around Wulai Township for some quick and easy alternatives.

Not wanting to sit in somewhere and hungry after a decent enough ride into Wulai through the mountains along route 9, the Wild Pork King food stall just across the bridge from the Wulai Old Street looked like it’d hit the spot perfectly.

Attracting a long queue, the Wild Pork King stall seemed to be serving up wild pig on skewers, marinated in what was presumably an Aboriginal traditional style sauce.

At the front of the stall you had the cooks grilling the meat away. These guys move incredibly fast to keep up with demand, which is quite entertaining to watch when you’re waiting in the line.

There’s an older guy who I saw later who was juggling bottles around and putting on a pretty good show for the crowds.

There are some skewers you can see sitting there in the sun but with the speed these guys were grilling the pork they weren’t out for more than a few minutes at a time before hitting the grill.

Once you get to the front of the queue, you tell the serving staff how many sticks you want and they then dip the pork skewers into some sauce and hand them over.

The two tubs of sauce in the above photo look quite different leading me to believe there was different flavoured sauce but my girlfriend insisted they were the same. Also note the eskys in the background to keep the meat covered and cool, so much better than just leaving your meat out in the sun!

All up you’re looking at $35 TWD for one skewer or 3 for $100 TWD ($3.40 USD). My only complaint is that I finish them too fast. Delicious!
