🎉Food at Zhongli Railway Station Backside🎉

🎉Ultimate Thick Pork Chop Rice Bowl🎉

This food spot, located behind Zhongli Railway Station, is not only recommended by foodies but is also a must-visit for social media influencers. The restaurant's highlights are curry paired with fried foods, and the generous portions will definitely satisfy even the hungriest of boys.

The restaurant uses LV Tontoro black pork, which is of the same breed as Kagoshima black pork. It features the loin cut that is rich in muscle and fat, providing a wonderful texture, allowing us to enjoy this delicious dish without flying to Japan.

Ultimate Thick Black Pork:

The chef first cooks the pork using sous vide, which presents the meat beautifully in a light pink hue. The loin is full of meatiness without being dry, complemented by coarse breadcrumbs that add incredible crispiness! Eating it on its own allows you to taste the natural sweetness of the pork. Paired with the pork chop sauce, it has a rich flavor that goes perfectly with rice. The tamago don (egg rice bowl) has a nice balance of sweet and savory, but the portion of rice is quite large, making the sauce portion feel a bit lacking, which results in a minor loss of moisture and saltiness.

Thick Cut Aged Pork Loin Curry:

The tenderness of the pork chop is even more pronounced. The loin meat is indeed more tender and fried to perfection, bursting with juices paired with the restaurant's signature curry, which is very flavorful! The curry here is salty, unlike regular Japanese curry which is sweet, and it has a unique aroma that is very delicious.

Truffle Fried Beef Steak Curry:

When served, the aroma of truffle fills the air. The fried steak appears well done, but the texture is still tender without being tough, and it is rich in beefy flavor, with a nice chewy texture. Paired with a complimentary onsen egg, it's creamy and delightful. Each serving also includes refreshing sides of yuzu radish and kelp that lighten the meal.

To sum up:

The flavors are all quite good, and the restaurant has a semi-open layout where you can see the delicious ingredients. However, seating is limited, so it's recommended to visit on weekdays to avoid long waits.
