As was true of military settlements of this type in Taiwan, most of the residents came from all over mainland China. They began setting up all kinds of tiny eateries around Yungkang Street, serving up specialties from their hometowns, like crispy roast duck from Guangdong, light repasts from Jiangxi and Zhejiang, Sichuan cuisine, and noodles from northern China.
就像台灣大部分的眷村一樣，來自中國各地的移民散居此處，在永康街附近經營各種家鄉味的小吃餐飲，舉凡廣東燒鴨、江浙點心、四川料理、北方麵食等，都可在此一探究竟，大快朵頤。
