The story
At first glance, the Cijin Island Fish Cake Stall in Kaohsiung’s Qijin District looks like a straightforward market stop for local seafood snacks. But according to creator Doobydobap, the real standout is the Honey Lemon Tea with Aloe. In a video on the island’s best seafood, they describe it as “refreshing” with “real aloe — slimy, chewy, and delicious.” That single glowing mention has turned this casual stall into a must-visit for those seeking an unexpected drink alongside the area’s famous fried fish cakes.
This is classic Kaohsiung street food culture: a no-frills counter serving both savory staples and surprising refreshments. While the stall’s name promises fish cake, the honey lemon tea has earned its own spotlight. For visitors exploring Ci’ai Village, it’s a reminder that sometimes the most memorable bites (or sips) come from the most unassuming places. Just be prepared for that unique aloe texture — it’s part of the appeal.

The honey lemon tea with aloe is the sole standout, a refreshingly sweet and tangy sip that captures the stall’s casual, seaside charm. Reviewers praise it as a simple, perfect treat on Cijin Island.
“I've never seen real aloe being scooped up like that — I've only used it on my skin, never to consume. The drink itself is really nice — honey lemon tea, and the aloe is just the chewy element. Not sticky at all, just slimy and very yummy.”
