Dadaocheng Braised Pork Rice

It is near Taipei Main Station, in a small alley. It is easy to find by following the navigation. Arrived at 12:30 noon, and had to queue for half an hour before eating. There are two shops for eating. The braised pork rice tastes very good, the sauce is very delicious, and the rice is very delicious. You must add eggs. I also ordered pork rib soup, which tastes good. The golden kimchi is different from Korean kimchi and is also very special. The large intestine is also delicious, and there is no fear of strange smell. The overall feeling is very good, but the waiting time for eating is a bit long.

It's similar to the old shops in the ancient streets and towns in mainland China. The pig's trotters taste good, and the pork is also pork leg meat, which tastes pretty good. I ordered a large circle, and it tastes very good, but the bones are too thick.
