Someone mentioned it before,
ride down Datong Road,
there's a Kinmen King on the roadside,
watch for the red sign.

Second, the herbal stinky tofu,
crispy skin, soft heart,
a large plate costs only thirty,
it's a pity if you don't try.

Full, the owner chats like family,
feeling hearty and kind,
the shop is far but worth the trip,
with food, distance disappears.
