I had heard about this place described by a friend as “old school Taiwanese classics”. It piqued my interest, and even on looking at the outside of the restaurant with that big chandelier and the red lanterns – I got the feeling it was going to be pretty weird and wonderful inside…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My impressions off the street were confirmed upon reaching the entrance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, if you ignore the bin bags to the right side, and focus on the decorations you can see from the outside, you’re going to get sort of an idea of how it’s going to go down inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not quite a red carpet, but I love it

I didn’t take many pictures inside, but safe to say I was grinning whilst eating. This place is just a blast from the past. I’m from England, so not even a blast from my past. But, what I imagine is a blast from the past for pretty much any Taiwanese aged 30 or above. It really is quite a special place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would definitely be the ‘must-have’ dish at this place. It’s called a pork shop restaurant, and this is the pork chop. Expect the pork to be battered and fried to perfection, frangrantly battered, juicy meat, and great accompaniments in the rice bowl with veggies and gravy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u96de\u817f\u98ef $150<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, whilst the pork chop is delicious, I do think the chicken leg is better. It’s crunchy, it’s juicy, it’s meaty, it’s flavourful. It basically ticks everything off for what you’d want in a deep fried chicken leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In your accompanying rice dish, you’ll find a sizeable portion of rice, plenty of stewed pork gravy ladelled on top, and some veggies stuck on the side, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, you gotta order the \u8766\u4ec1\u68ec deep fried shrimp rolls. They’re damn good, and accompanied by some pickled cucumber which helps to cut through the grease somewhat. They’re good perfectly, and packed with flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
