If I could only write about one type of cuisine, it would definitely be “Taiwanese street food.” And if I could only share one dish, it would undoubtedly be “braised pork rice.” This collection brings together over a hundred braised pork rice experiences from my five years of blogging, narrowed down to 34 that I wanted to — and was able to — write about (though not necessarily the most delicious). However, some of the articles here are quite old, and the photos are so bad they make me want to puke… I owe you all an apology for that. Also, this piece is entirely based on my personal taste — take it as a reference, not gospel. A big thanks upfront to “Right Above” for helping me complete this long-planned but never-executed “lazy guide” project.

【Longshan Temple Station - Huaxi Street - Xiao Wang’s Clear Soup Pork Rice with Braised Pork】
This bowl of braised pork rice has a pretty impressive online nickname: “Black Gold Braised Pork Rice,” and as you can see in the photo, the whole bowl shines brightly, making your mouth water — exactly the kind I love. Just the aroma of this rice boosts my appetite. It may look greasy and fatty in the photo, but it actually isn’t overly heavy in the mouth. Instead, the aroma of the braised pork bursts around your taste buds, incredibly satisfying, and pairs flawlessly with the plain rice beneath, drenched in the savory juices.
The freshly-oiled rice balances out the richness, while the rice itself becomes sweeter thanks to the pork sauce. It’s a bite after bite of satisfaction, smooth and flavorful. But yes, the taste is indeed on the heavier side — true. If you enjoy rich flavors, you’ll likely find it very enjoyable. The addition of mushrooms gives the pork a bit more chew and a pleasant Q-texture, plus a subtle earthy aroma unique to mushrooms, which adds richness and layers to the flavor, ensuring you don’t feel like you wasted your 35 NT dollars. If you’re a mushroom lover like me, give it a try.

【Beitou Station - Ai Zai Braised Pork Rice】
This bowl of braised pork rice is on the heavier, oilier side — perhaps because of that, the sauce poured on top isn’t too generous. But if you like, you can ask for more; the pork juice itself is quite fragrant. The pork is well-braised, and you can clearly see it’s hand-chopped rather than minced. The whole bowl looks glossy and shiny — exactly the kind I love. The pickled bamboo shoots on the side are fairly average, but as a side dish to cut through the grease, they have their own charm. At 20 NT in greater Taipei, it’s a pretty affordable price.

【Cailiao Station - Jin Da Braised Pork Rice】
The braised pork in this bowl is truly fragrant. In my opinion, though it may not take the top spot, it’s definitely up there among the top three. Especially because Jin Da’s pork isn’t just aromatic — the rice is also cooked excellently. The slightly sticky yet not overly so grains cling perfectly to the slightly tacky pork sauce. When you take a bite, the fragrance of the rice mingles with the meat, and the taste — a little oily but not too much, salty with a hint of sweetness — is absolutely delightful. The fattier parts of the meat melt in your mouth, and the skin offers a slight bounce and chew. Truly a premium bowl.

【Songshan Airport Station - Jianhong Chicken Rice】
Let’s talk about the clever combo of chicken and braised pork. Texture-wise, I think it works — the chicken is tasty and tender, though it lacks that melt-in-your-mouth quality, which is made up for by the richer, fattier braised pork. The slight chewiness from the chicken softens the greasiness of the pork, so the whole bowl, despite looking super oily, is surprisingly easy to finish. Flavor-wise, though, the chicken’s sweetness doesn’t stand a chance against the pork — meaning the chicken almost plays a supporting role in texture. So, if you prefer chicken rice over braised pork rice, maybe skip the signature bowl. But hey, maybe my taste buds aren’t as sharp.

【Taipower Building Station - Ah Ying’s Braised Pork Rice】
Ah Ying’s braised pork rice — where oiliness, sweetness, and fragrance come together perfectly. The rice is soft, the pork is smooth, so smooth you can’t even pick it up with chopsticks, so I just used a spoon to scoop a bit for the photo. Just looking at this photo might send “oil-fearing” friends running for the hills, but I bet fellow oil lovers like me are already excited. It’s not the greasiest or shiniest pork rice I’ve ever had, but the moment it hits your mouth, that silky, oily texture is genuinely astonishing. Add to that a sweetness that’s extremely, extremely pleasing, and it completely changes my usual bias against sweet-style braised pork rice. That sweetness doesn’t overpower the pork’s aroma — instead, it becomes the irresistible aftertaste that makes you want another bite. Of course, that sweetness and oiliness cling stubbornly to your lips and tongue afterward.
As for the rice’s quality that day, it paired just right with the rich, sweet pork. I’ve said before that great sushi is when you barely notice the rice — this pork rice shares a similar magic, except it falls short due to the “sauce” being a bit too little.

【Dongmen Station - Da Lai Xiao Guan】
To be fair, this bowl of braised pork rice actually looks pretty good — that golden color promises deep flavor, and the first bite does deliver. At least it tastes good, and while it leans a bit sweet, it’s still within my acceptable range. What’s more special is that this sweetness remains consistent till the last bite (a bit cloying, though). Also, it’s probably the most fragrant among the leaner braised pork rices I’ve had (even if I still prefer the fatter kind).
But the main reason “Da Lai Xiao Guan’s” braised pork rice got me thinking for so long is its aroma. Deep down, I always believed that braised pork rice needed plenty of oil to really shine — which is why I prefer the fattier kind. But I have to say, after trying this one, I might need to reconsider. Because this bowl really is fragrant. It’s not quite in my top two, but it definitely lives up to its reputation.

【Ximending - Yang Ji Pork Ribs Noodle Soup】
I gave up with a quarter of the bowl left. The reason? The “topping” poured on the rice wasn’t fragrant enough, so after I finished the lean-to-fat-balanced braised pork mixed with the rice, I just couldn’t bring myself to take another bite. Not to mention the rice that day was way too soft (especially the bottom layer, which clumped together). Still, this bowl isn’t entirely without merit — at least the 80% fat chunks of pork have a slight fragrance (though still a bit lacking). When eaten, it melts softly on the roof of your mouth, and your tongue can still catch traces of the deliciousness of melting fat. If only the aroma were stronger and the topping sauce more vibrant, it’d be a truly great bowl of braised pork rice. After reading this, do you think I’m too picky about “braised pork rice”?

【Longshan Temple Station - Forty-Year-Old Shop Ah Yi’s Braised Pork Rice】
Though the topping is a slightly sweet sauce, it’s not unpleasant (I’m not a fan of sweet braised pork rice), and the rice is cooked quite well. The grains coated in the pork sauce look especially golden, and taste salty with a faint sweetness and a hint of scallion oil fragrance. Accidentally getting some pork juice on my fingers even made me want to lick it off. At the very least, it nails the basics of a good braised pork rice (looks oily but doesn’t taste greasy). Paired with a light and sweet radish soup, I polished off the bowl in no time.

【Keelung Miaokou Stall 19 Braised Pork Rice】
This bowl of “braised pork rice” has a light golden hue that’s tempting. It’s not the kind I usually love, but it reminds me slightly of a toned-down version of Jin Da’s. I took a small bite, and the flavor was unexpectedly rich and aromatic, making me stare at it for a few seconds while savoring the slick, oily feeling melting in my mouth. The word “delicious” just popped into my head. That slightly greasy sensation clinging to the rice is oddly addictive, making you purse your lips involuntarily.

【Nanjing East Road Station - Liaoning Night Market - Q?? New B...】
I don’t recall which food critic said it, but a good “braised pork rice” is all about the topping — but the rice is secretly where the real battle happens. I wouldn’t say I fully agree, but I will say this: if a bowl of “braised pork rice” can still let you taste the “fragrance of the rice” despite the aggressive attack of a strong-tasting topping, then it’s truly remarkable. The first time I came here, that impression stuck. The second and third times? Maybe my expectations were too high, or something else was off — that lingering aroma was sadly missing. It reminded me of what a certain celebrity chef once said: “Controlling the ‘quality’ of the braising juice isn’t hard, but nailing the ‘rice aroma’ is a whole other challenge.” I couldn’t help but nod and exclaim in agreement.

【Dongmen Station - Dongmen Market - Dongmen City Braised Pork Rice】
It’s not particularly fragrant, so there’s no issue with being too oily, yet it’s incredibly “smooth” and “tender,” making you want bite after bite. Even if you reach the end and there’s not a single chunk of meat left, the “sauce” on top isn’t overly salty. So I polished off the whole bowl before even finishing half the pickles, licked my lips, felt no greasy aftertaste, yet still craved more — wishing for another bowl. I can only say this is a must-try for braised pork rice lovers. First, because it’s undeniably delicious. Second, because it’s not easy to find. Third — well, I can’t quite say it, but to borrow a phrase from “Bu Zi”: you really can’t afford to lose any of these little stalls.

【Jiangzicui Station - 168 Stir-Fry (Braised Pork Rice)】
The braised pork is stewed until extremely tender—the fat melts in your mouth, the lean meat (though there’s not much of it) is soft and doesn’t require chewing, practically dissolving with just a sip. Even the skin part carries a slight gelatinous texture reminiscent of pig’s trotters. It’s rich, indulgent, and utterly satisfying... The only minor downside is that the rice consistency varies—it’s sometimes too dry, other times too mushy—but overall, the quality of the braised pork is pretty high among what I’ve tried. It’s rich, melt-in-your-mouth, and fragrant.

【Xinpu Station - Long’en Q "Pork Rice" - Julu Branch】
The biggest highlight of this bowl of braised pork rice is actually the pickled mustard greens that come with it. Strangely enough, I usually dislike pickled mustard greens in beef noodle soup, but I absolutely love them in this “braised pork rice.” Though called pickled mustard, it’s not very sour—instead, the vegetable flavor is more pronounced, with a hint of fresh, slightly astringent bitterness. But this flavor pairs exceptionally well with the slightly fatty braised pork, creating a wonderfully smooth and even slightly crispy texture when scooped together. It’s a huge plus and one of the main reasons I wanted to highlight this bowl of pork rice. So, with this “pickled mustard,” I gave Long’en a ★★★★ rating.

【Shipai Station - Tainan Braised Three Pieces】
The braising sauce for the “Braised Three Pieces” clearly uses a lot of onions, giving it a naturally sweet flavor. This prevents the dish, which is braised entirely with fatty pork, from tasting cloyingly sweet or overly greasy. On the contrary, every bite is so deliciously sweet it’s almost overwhelming.

【Ximen Station - Li Ji Yilan Meatball Soup II & III Visit (Plum Braised Pork Rice)】
You can take a small bite of plum after each mouthful of braised pork rice to let the tangy acidity cut through some of the richness. Or you can pop the whole plum into your mouth after finishing the bowl, thoroughly refreshing your palate. Or you can do what Xiao Hu does—crush the plum flesh and mix it into the braised pork rice, blending the sweetness and tenderness of the meat with the slight acidity, mild wine aroma, and subtle tartness of the plum juice and flesh. The combination of sweet, sour, oily, salty, and fragrant is insanely delicious, an incredibly unique flavor journey.

【Daqiaotou Station - Yansan Night Market - Yaotou Pork Ribs】
Since this stall is located under a covered walkway and not well-lit by street lamps, the photos came out a bit dark. But you can still tell it’s a “bold-flavored” type of braised pork rice. The braised pork here is made from streaky pork slices with the skin on, simmered until tender. After the vendor drizzles it over the rice, the fat and lean parts are intertwined. When mixed into the rice and scooped into your mouth, the sensation of the melted fat mingling with the rice’s aroma is so irresistible you might end up finishing half the bowl before putting it down. I love this braised pork rice not only because it’s fragrant and rich, but also because the smooth texture in your mouth is arguably the best I’ve had. Plus, the vendor gives you a generous portion—the last bite will still have plenty of braised pork. Though the bowl only costs 20 NT, the rice portion is quite large; girls with smaller appetites might not finish it all (laughs).

【Xinpu Station - A Yi Braised Pork Rice】
If you’re a long-time reader of Xiao Hu, you’ll know this bowl of braised pork rice isn’t usually my favorite. But this messier-looking serving doesn’t have the usual issue of dry, chewy lean meat that I dislike. On the contrary, it has decent oiliness and aroma. To be honest, it lacks a wow factor—that initial burst of excitement or “wow wow wow” moment. Also, the rice that day was cooked a bit too soft, and after mixing with the braising sauce, it became slightly mushy toward the end. But sometimes, we have to admit that maybe we spent too much time taking photos.

【Shuanglian Station - Longyuan Braised Pork Rice】
Over the years, though I’m not particularly enamored with these old-school braised pork shops, I have to admit their rice is cooked really well. The aroma of Longyuan’s braised pork rice is detectable even before you take a bite, and just two spoonfuls are incredibly satisfying. It’s just a pity that it lacks that “melt-in-your-mouth” feel and the captivating gelatinous stickiness. Still, its skill is enough to keep it standing strong in Dadaocheng for decades.

【Zhongzheng Memorial Hall Station - Jin Feng Braised Pork Rice】
The braising sauce for the “pork” is slightly on the salty side, but it’s perfectly balanced when mixed with the rice. Each bite wraps your tongue in the combined flavors of rice and sauce—a truly premium experience of eating braised pork rice. The only issue is the rice-to-sauce ratio is off; by the end, there’s only plain rice left with no sauce remaining. As some celebrity once said, the ideal ratio of braising sauce to rice is such that from the first bite to the last, the “flavor” remains consistent without needing to stir.

【Nanjing Fuxing Station】Sanyuanliu Shrimp Roe Congee
This bowl of braised pork rice looks decent—the golden, translucent mix of fat and lean is smooth and delicious, and the first couple of bites are indeed quite tasty. But I’ve noticed that at many famous shops, the first few bites of braised pork rice often wow me, yet the true test lies after the halfway point. Weaker versions start to feel greasy or lose flavor, while better ones remain delicious throughout. The truly great ones leave an unforgettable taste that clings to your tongue and palate, making you crave another bowl. Sanyuanliu’s braised pork rice is generally on the better side—tasty but easy to forget. Naturally, it doesn’t make me want another bowl.

【Longshan Temple Station】Sifang Ajiu Braised Pork Rice
The moment it touches your tongue, the melt-in-your-mouth quality of the fat is enough to “excite” my taste buds, and the rice is cooked decently too. But perhaps the slightly salty sauce lingers unpleasantly at the back of my palate, and the shredded dried fish disrupts the enjoyment of the fatty pork’s melt-in-your-mouth sensation. As a result, this bowl of braised pork rice, which should look promising, ends up feeling increasingly ordinary. Maybe next time I’ll ask the vendor to use less sauce and skip the dried fish.

【Songshan Nanjing Station】My Stove
Even though the topping on this braised pork rice is very thick, sticky, and saucy, the flavor is solely focused on being “aromatic.” The saltiness stays perfectly balanced on the “edge” of your tongue. What’s even more addictive is how the sweet and fragrant notes become even more pronounced as you chew. Like Xiao Wang’s, it remains delicious until the very last bite, never losing that emotional impact. I have to admit My Stove’s braised pork rice might even surpass Xiao Wang in terms of melt-in-your-mouth quality—or perhaps I should say the thickness and richness that dissolve in your mouth are more solid, long-lasting, and enduring. Then again, the rice might also be well-cooked, leaving a slight ambiguity in the final chew—was it meat or rice? The sensation is somewhat like biting into a sushi roll where the fish and vinegar rice meld into one, creating a mouth-filling satisfaction. Lastly, it’s worth mentioning that this bowl of braised pork rice has a flavor somewhat similar to “Huzizhang’s,” but richer, thicker, stickier, and more tangled, with slightly less sweetness and more umami. The oily melt-in-your-mouth texture is also superior.

【Yongchun Station】Shi Family Sesame Oil Kidney Flower
The moment this bowl of braised pork rice was placed in front of me, I silently praised my luck: “It really looks like a formidable contender.” It comes with a mildly spicy pickled radish to cut the grease, though for someone like me who doesn’t even like oil, it’s optional (laughs). The first bite of this braised pork rice was indeed exhilarating—both the aroma and melt-in-your-mouth texture were top-notch. In fact, the first three bites made me admire “A-Xiang’s” good judgment. But for some reason, starting from the third bite, the gradually diminishing “meat strips” began to lose their “flavor”—they stopped exciting me. Especially when only the sauce and rice remained, I suddenly couldn’t find any enjoyment. That’s when I suddenly remembered something Jiao Tong said: a good bowl of braised pork rice should deliver meat and rice aroma, and be delicious from the first to the last bite. I’d add one more note: “The last bite should still make you want another bowl.” So, for me, this bowl of braised pork rice played a strong first half but was still pretty tasty overall.

【Yongchun Station】Jinxian Lu Rou Fan (Songshan Branch)
This nearly all-fat braised pork made my “taste buds” bloom. When I leaned in to smell it, the sauce was fragrant without being overly salty, instantly opening my appetite. The first bite truly made me think, “So delicious!” Especially the moment the fat marbling melted in my mouth, the sensation was wonderful. But strangely, whether due to high expectations or something else, the word “so delicious” didn’t come up again in subsequent bites. Well, not entirely—it did appear, but only as praise for the rice.
After finishing, I kept thinking: it looked so delicious, so why did the emotional impact fade so quickly? Was it the melt-in-your-mouth quality? No. Too salty? Probably not. Less oily aroma? A little. Was it the combination with the rice? Seems likely, because by the end, the sauce was running low. Though the lady kept asking if it was too salty and if I wanted more sauce.
One thing I want to mention: I vaguely remember that the version I had in Keelung used to leave a slightly sticky, tacky feeling in my mouth, as if I’d just gnawed on a huge pig’s trotter. But this time, I didn’t get that sensation. Also, I noticed the sauce wasn’t as dark as the one in Keelung—it was more golden and shiny. Conclusion: it’s delicious, but it seems to lack that emotional punch. Simply put, it lacks the urge to have another bowl.

【Jiangzicui Station】Elder Sister’s Noodle Stall
First, let’s try this “signature braised pork rice” I’ve been eagerly anticipating. The sauce seems a bit sparse at first glance, but it’s actually well-distributed across each bite. At the very least, every spoonful gives you the perfect pairing of braised pork and rice—you just need to put in a bit more “chopstick skill.” The braised pork sauce itself is thick, salty, fragrant, and well-balanced, with a hint of mild onion sweetness. The meat pieces are irregular—some strips, some chunks—with more fat than lean. They’re clearly hand-chopped. The sensation of the fat melting in your mouth makes me silently cheer inside. The lean bits that follow fill the void left by the melted fat, and when paired with the white rice and chewed together, the interplay of rice and meat aromas is delightful. The rice is cooked just right—neither dry nor mushy even after being coated with the meat sauce.

【Hukou】Wu Ge’s Savory Porridge
It’s not uncommon to pair braised pork rice with “pickled vegetables,” and Taipei’s “Long’en” does it exceptionally well. However, compared to Wu Ge’s version, the former tends to have a stronger, more aggressive “aroma and acidity,” whereas Wu Ge’s pickled vegetables are much fresher. Still, the “crispness” of the pickled veggies adds a delightful textural contrast. Then there’s that charming “fried egg”—not only does it look appealing, but the frying is executed with remarkable precision. It might just be the most perfectly cooked fried egg I’ve ever had. The sight and texture of the yolk as it oozes out are equally mesmerizing. But I must offer my two cents: “For me, the egg doesn’t contribute much in terms of flavor, aside from its smooth, slippery texture.”
Finally, let’s talk about this famously popular “Wu Ge’s Braised Pork Rice” online. First, the gelatinous texture of the braised pork left me stunned. Aside from the “pork trotter specialty shops,” I’ve never had such “sticky” braised pork rice. After finishing the rice, the sweet gelatin left on my lips lingered for a long time. Add to that the “fat” that’s rich but not greasy and melts in your mouth—that’s truly an extraordinary bowl of braised pork rice.

【Daqiaotou Station - Chiayi Xiong Lu Rou Fan】
As for the braised pork rice, the initial taste is the sweetness of the sauce, gradually giving way to a stronger oily, savory aroma, even with a hint of enticing lightly scorched oil. Overall, I quite like the flavor. However, I find the melt-in-your-mouth quality a bit inconsistent, and some parts of the lean meat are overcooked to the point of falling apart. The fatty, skin-on parts, though, are deliciously tender and flavorful.

【Jiangzicui Station - Hu Ma Ma Noodle Shop】
Today’s star is the “red braised pork rice,” also known as red yeast rice braised pork. I can’t recall ever having this before, but I’m sure I must have—it’s just been so long I can’t remember. Its flavor is reminiscent of the more commonly eaten red yeast rice rice cakes, but with a bit more oil and richness. While chewing, you get the unique aroma of red yeast rice, a faint trace of alcohol, and the sweet oiliness from the minced pork. However, it lacks the melt-in-your-mouth oily texture I love in braised pork. It also has a slightly higher saltiness, which is why I always order a bowl of soup with it. The texture feels a bit oily to me, but I love its distinctive red yeast aroma. Coupled with Hu Ma Ma’s decently cooked rice, it’s something I find myself craving every now and then. I’m recommending it to everyone now—hopefully, it’s not too late (laughs).

【Songshan Airport Station Eats - Driver’s Club】
I’ll break this braised pork rice into two parts. First, the melt-in-your-mouth texture is excellent—even the pork skin is almost instantly soft, and it doesn’t leave much greasiness afterward. However, the other part—the flavor—is surprisingly mild, meaning it lacks aroma and saltiness. This is quite different from the thick, dark pot of braised pork we see visually. As a result, after finishing the small amount of fatty pork in this not-so-large bowl of braised pork rice, I had no motivation to keep eating.

【Xinpu Station - Unnamed Braised Pork Rice on Happiness Road, Lane 23】
Alright, this braised pork rice, if you ignore the fish floss, has a fairly decent melt-in-your-mouth texture. However, some of the lean meat is a bit dry, and I feel the meat juice could have been poured on more generously—the flavor is a bit light as well. By the halfway point, I was basically just eating rice. Then I noticed the guy next to me pouring a bit of sauce over his, so I tried it too and found the flavor improved slightly, though it became a bit overly salty. Overall, the first bite of pure fat pork did impress me a little, but the subsequent bites quickly went downhill. Maybe next time I’ll ask the boss to pour more fatty pork sauce (laughs).

【Hsinchu - Afu’s Braised Pork Rice】
Afu’s braised pork is chopped into fairly large cubes, with about 80% fat (including the skin). The moment it touches your mouth, the “melt-in-your-mouth” quality is indeed excellent. Logically, I should love this kind of braised pork rice, but the expected “sweetness and aroma” never materialized. The more I ate, the more disappointed I became. I wonder if my previous experience raised my expectations too high for this bowl of braised pork rice.

【Taichung - Second Market - Li Hai’s Braised Pork Rice】
This is the braised pork rice that will determine whether I come back or not (you could also call it “chewy pork rice”). First, the chewier, oilier upper part of the pork is fairly tender, melt-in-your-mouth, and smooth. But the lower layer of lean meat is dry, offering no juiciness at all, and becomes hard to swallow the longer you chew. As for the plain rice, it’s downright subpar—just look at the photo; it’s completely mushy!! Even worse, the braised pork sauce poured on top has little aroma, making it feel like I’m just eating plain rice (maybe my taste buds are just more sensitive).

【Shuanglian Station - Sanyuan Hao Braised Pork Rice】
At first glance, this bowl of braised pork rice seems very salty, but it’s actually okay once you start eating. The braised pork has a bit more lean meat and is less oily, which is why it’s quite popular among female customers. However, for someone like me, who prefers shiny, golden, oily braised pork, it feels a bit lacking. That’s why, out of the dozens of braised pork rice places I’ve tried, Sanyuan Hao is one I rarely visit and don’t remember much about.
That said, this bowl of braised pork rice still has considerable merit. The braised pork sauce is poured generously, and the whole bowl costs just NT$20. Despite having more lean meat, the aroma isn’t diminished at all. Paired with rice of above-average quality, it’s the kind of bowl that makes you want to keep eating. For someone as obsessed with braised pork rice as I am, it may not be in my top tier, but it’s definitely a recommendable dish.

【Shilin Station - Guanghui Meatball Soup】
This overly bland braised pork sauce really isn’t my thing. The dark color with translucent bits initially made me think, under the dim lighting, that it was something like “winter melon” at first glance. But upon closer inspection, I realized it was pork skin, which actually improved my impression a bit.
But the first bite brought me right back to reality. What seemed like a light broth was actually intensely flavored—but unfortunately, the intensity came from saltiness, not oily aroma. That borderline “deadly saltiness” almost made me give up after one bite (the bowl, that is). Luckily, the rice was pretty good, so I managed a couple more bites. After that, whether it was my taste buds adjusting or something else, those second and third bites were still too salty but somewhat tolerable. The texture of the “pork skin” was also pleasantly chewy, and a sip of the sweet “meatball soup” convinced me to take another couple of bites. But then the saltiness surged back, and to save the rest of my evening plans, I had to call it quits.
【Xiao Hu’s 5-4-3】
If you ask me which braised pork rice is the best, even after five years, my answer remains: “Xiao Wang.” If we’re talking top three, it’s “Xiao Wang,” “Ai Zai Cai,” and “Jin Da,” but of course, these three are all quite different, so the comparison is a bit unfair.
If you’d like, please feel free to share your favorite braised pork rice in the comments below. It’ll give Xiao Hu a chance to discover more delicious options and share them with fellow braised pork rice enthusiasts. Feel free to leave your top recommendation here and let Xiao Hu know (even from other cities)—as a braised pork rice aficionado, I’ll definitely make a trip to try it soon!
