Owner Jimmy Liao first launched his Xiangshang Market food truck in 2023 and quickly gained a loyal following among Taiwanese and foreign customers, thanks to his lightly battered, non-greasy, twice-fried chicken. This is made with a recipe his mother learned from Jimmy's father, a former US Air Force officer stationed in Taichung (explaining his eatery's "American Military Fried Chicken" Chinese name). Late last year, he retired his food truck and relocated to this small shop, with open-air tables seating 10 and a standing counter inside. His simple menu revolves around four items (NT$50-80)— the Padam fried wing, drumstick, chicken thigh, and fried potato, little wedges lightly flavored with his spice mix. These items can be enjoyed together with four combo meals (NT$90-160) like the popular Padam Trio (fried potato, wing, drumstick). For those who like Padam Padam's upbeat music, Jimmy also DJs at Ron Island bar upstairs every Saturday from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.
老闆廖羽航（Jimmy Liao）於2023年首度推出他的「向上市場」餐車，憑藉費粉輕薄、不油膩、二次油炸的炸雞，迅速在台灣與外國客群之間累積了一群忠實粉絲。這款炸雞使用的配方，源自Jimmy的母親向其父親親學來的食譜；他的父親曾是派駐台中的美國空軍軍官，這也正是店名「美軍炸雞」的由來。去年底，Jimmy結束餐車營業，轉而進駐這間小巧的賓閣店面，戶外設有可容納10人的座位，室內則有站立式吧台。簡單的菜單主打4様品項（50-80元）：膜通炸雞翅、雞腿、雞腿排，以及炸馬鈴薯切成小塊，僅以自家香料輕輕調味。也可選擇4款套餐（90-160元），其中最受歡迎的是膜通三重奏（炸馬鈴薯、雞翅、雞腿）。此外，喜歡Padam Padam活力音樂氛圍圓的客人，還有一個加分驚喜！Jimmy每週六晚間11點至淩晨1點，會在樓上的Ron Island酒吧擔任DJ。
