What is Braised Pork Rice?

A bowl of white rice topped with small pieces of fatty pork belly, slow-braised in soy sauce, rice wine and five-spice until soft and glossy. The sauce soaks into the rice, making it rich and a little sticky. It is cheap, filling and eaten any time of day — many locals consider it Taiwan's true national dish. Want something leaner? Look for minced pork rice (肉燥飯).

What does it taste like?

  • Rich and fatty
  • Savory-sweet soy sauce
  • Saucy, soaks into the rice
  • Five-spice aroma

How much does it cost?

NT$30–80 per bowl
