When people travel to Kenting, apart from enjoying water activities and visiting popular attractions like the Marine Biology Museum in Checheng and the Eluanbi Lighthouse, one of the most important aspects is indulging in delicious cuisine.
Local seafood is a must-try for visitors, as the restaurants emphasize serving freshly caught seafood on the same day. This reflects in the prices, which are not to be underestimated. However, a netizen recently shared a post online, mentioning that they ordered four seafood dishes for a total of 1140 Taiwanese dollars in Kenting, commenting, “Isn’t 1140 for Kenting acceptable?” This sparked enthusiastic discussions among netizens.
The discussion just adds to those, that we reported earlier, as the 120 per slice NTD chicken chop, and corn cob for 300 NTD.
The original poster shared their experience on the Facebook group “爆廢1公社” (Explosive Waste Group), mentioning that during their trip to Kenting, they dined at a seafood restaurant and ordered grilled fish, shrimp, oysters, and clams, all for a total price of 1140 TWD. They believed that the price was reasonable, considering the quality and freshness of the seafood.
The post prompted various responses from netizens. Many agreed that the price was actually quite reasonable, stating, “Even a simple grilled fish would cost around 600 to 800 TWD. I paid 750 TWD for grilled fish in Yilan. The price for large shrimp, grilled oysters, and clams is normal,” “For those who think it’s expensive, they can go eat at McDonald’s,” “The value for money is quite high,” “This price is considered cheap for Kenting. Anyone who has been there knows,” among other comments.

However, there were also netizens who found the price relatively high, saying, “It feels a bit expensive,” “It’s quite expensive, expensive enough to complain about,” “These are expensive, not even worth 500 TWD,” “It’s expensive,” “Platter meal,” “Selling for 800 TWD is already profiting, spending 1140 TWD is on the platter level,” “It’s a bit pricey,” “Prices in Kenting have gone up, it’s really expensive,” “It’s considered expensive for Kenting,” “Expensive, unless the alcohol cost is included.”
Nonetheless, some netizens believed that when traveling, it’s important to enjoy whatever you want to eat and focus on having a good time, saying, “It’s still acceptable.
When you’re traveling, eat whatever you want and enjoy yourself. Moreover, it seems this restaurant has clear pricing,” “When you’re traveling, you shouldn’t focus so much on the cost. Wishing you a pleasant trip,” and similar sentiments.
