黑豬師 台中大智店

Thanks to Fooday 🥳 for inspiring me to try more different cuisines 🍽
🚩 Location 🧭
Located near the intersection of Dazhi Road and Zhongxiao Road in the East District of Taichung City. It had previously relocated from across the street.

🪑 About the overall atmosphere 🎡
After moving from across the street, the store is noticeably much smaller. There are about three tables inside and two outside, and they use a self-service dish return system. The store has air conditioning.

💰 About the pricing 💰
Braised pork rice is $65, with no side dishes.

🍴 About the food ☕
This place is very famous for writing on their sign “the hardest to eat (braised pork rice)” in a small font, which makes people wonder why they would write that about their own food! I had eaten here before in Changhua and thought it was pretty good, but this time the piece of braised pork had more fat, and by the end, I found it a bit greasy. Setting that aside, it might just be a personal preference; the meat itself is flavorful and has a good texture! I wonder if next time I ask the owner for less fat it might improve things. The braising sauce doesn’t make the rice too sticky, as some braised pork rice sauces can cause the rice to clump together; here, the grains are distinct.

🤨 Conclusion ♥
I’ve heard that the nearby Xiao Braised Pork Rice is quite famous, but it’s always closed when I go, so I decided to try the Black Pig Master in Taichung. Overall, it was quite good as well!
