Bite Rating: 🍯🍯🍯🍯

A staple and comfort food for the common Taiwanese, Lu Rou Fan (卤肉饭) is a homely meal that’s best made by a local. Believe me, I was super ready to satiate my cravings at @eat3bowls Boy, did they not disappoint.

A set meal comes with a bowl of rice topped with braised pork belly, cabbage and soft-boiled egg ala onsen ($8). Hearty and comforting, the lean meat sinks into your teeth and packs a good punch of umami. Immensely tender yet extra flavourful. The braised pork’s sauce was so savoury that I easily finished every last bit of rice! Plus, what’s a 🇹🇼 meal without a cuppa Fresh Milk w Brown Sugar Boba Tea ($3.80)? Soft, but also with that extra chewiness enough to keep your mouth busy. My boba-loving heart is set!

On my next visit’s wishlist: to see if their oyster meesua & chicken rice lives up to their name.
