Chick & Tea (3932 Telegraph Ave., Oakland), a new boba shop in Temescal, is the only place I'm aware of in the East Bay that specializes in an equally iconic Taiwanese street snack: da ji pai, or whole fried chicken cutlets. According to owner Frank Cheng, a desire to do something different from every other shop was the main reason he decided to specialize in what he has dubbed the "G-Pie" ($5.99) — that and the fact that he's a self-described "meat guy." And it's true: There is something deeply satisfying about holding a giant piece of fried chicken in two hands and chowing down on it straight out of the paper bag. (Daintier eaters can ask Cheng to cut the chicken into strips before frying.) Because the chicken is thicker, it's easier for the meat in the center to stay juicy, and Cheng uses several tricks to maximize tenderness and flavor — most notably, he said he massages each piece of chicken three times a day while it's marinating. I loved the craggy, well-spiced crust of Chick & Tea's G-Pie. Mostly, though, I loved how much it made me feel like I was in Taiwan. East Bay Express
