🍽️ Recommended dishes
🥢 Braised pork rice / I ordered the lean braised pork, which was thickly cut and braised until tender but not mushy. The fat and lean parts blended well, and the fat was rich but not greasy at all. Unlike the braised pork rice, it was served with braised dried bean curd, pickled cabbage and pickled cucumbers. The sour, sweet and crisp taste just balanced the richness of the meat, making people want to eat one bite after another.
🥢 Braised pork rice / A large bowl of braised pork rice is only NT$45. If you order it a la carte, the portion is a bit small for an adult man. The braised pork has a fat-lean ratio of 7:3, and it is braised to a translucent black gold, rich in gelatin, and melts in your mouth. The braised pork rice in this restaurant is slightly sticky and salty. If you are not sharing with others, you can choose to order braised pork and braised tofu separately, and the portion will be just right.
🥢 Braised oil tofu + dried bean curd / The braised dried bean curd is quite flavorful, and each piece absorbs the aroma of the sauce, with a solid and chewy texture. The braised tofu is full of marinade on the outside and tender on the inside, which goes really well with rice!
🥢 Radish and pork ribs soup / The soup is sweet, the radish is cooked until soft and tasty, and the pork ribs are stewed just right, the meat is tender and has a bone fragrance, and it tastes quite refreshing.
