前金肉燥飯

How many people flock to Michelin-starred restaurants? But did you know that aside from the honor of the Michelin Guide, there is also a "Bib Gourmand" designation specifically for recommending "value-for-money" dining experiences? The "Bib Gourmand" was first introduced in 1997, represented by the image of the Michelin Baby licking his lips, symbolizing the combination of high quality and affordable prices. Today, I want to share with you a meat sauce rice restaurant in Kaohsiung that has been passed down for three generations. Although the store looks simple, it is always full of people at the entrance. This restaurant is not only beloved by locals, but it is also one of the culinary treasures certified by the "Bib Gourmand"...

✅ Fish Floss Meat Sauce Rice: Made with meat sauce that includes pork skin and fat, it has a flavor typical of southern cuisine. Plus, the homemade fish floss made from milkfish adds an extra layer of seafood freshness, making it a more complex dish. The best part is that after finishing one bowl that is rich yet not greasy, you'll want to have another. You can also add an extra half-boiled duck egg for 20 yuan; the yolk is very rich and when mixed with the rice, the flavor becomes even thicker and smoother.

✅ Vegetables: The vegetables served are based on what the shop provides that day. They are ordinary cold dishes and taste average, with a light seasoning.

✅ Meatball Soup: A simple meatball soup with a hint of celery. The flavor is not too strong; it’s a very straightforward taste. The meatballs are chewy.

✅ Bamboo Shoot Soup: This is also a very simple soup. The only ingredient inside is bamboo shoots, which are quite sweet.

The signature meat sauce rice at "Qianjin Meat Sauce Rice" truly lives up to its reputation, with the essence lying in the pork skin and fat preserved in the meat sauce, providing a rich yet not greasy texture. Paired with fish floss, it adds a refreshing element that balances the overall flavor. As for the other dishes, they perform adequately, but since we arrived later, there weren’t many items left. It is said that the "Pan-fried Fish Belly" is also a must-try, so I suggest that those who want to taste it go early to avoid missing out!
