🚩 Location 🧭
Located near the intersection of Beiping Road Section 3 and Wenchang East 5th Street in the North District of Taichung City, close to the Wenxin Chongde MRT Station; upon seeing the famous snack shop Lao Xiang, you will find it right inside.

🪑 About the Overall Atmosphere 🎡
It’s somewhat hidden in a first-class dining battle zone alley. The exterior and signage use a yellow theme, with a limited number of indoor seats—about two tables and an L-shaped bar on both sides. The air conditioning is on, and you can see the food preparation process through the transparent glass window. The interior decoration continues with a white and yellow warm space feel. If you're lucky, you might find parking at the entrance, but parking there will cover the store's entrance, which can be a bit awkward; it is better to find another parking space.

💰 About the Price 💰
Char Siu Pork $105, Grilled Pork Belly Noodle $100

🍴 About the Food ☕
The Char Siu Pork bento feels very much like a Chihshang bento, with all the dishes laid on top of the white rice and no selection for side dishes, which include spring rolls, halved tofu, halved braised egg, broccoli, cabbage, and amaranth. Each side dish is relatively mild in flavor; I haven't had spring rolls in a long time and found them delicious, although the amaranth had a slightly rough texture. The amount of Char Siu Pork is quite generous; it has a good chewiness, pairing well with the ample white rice, though towards the end, it felt a bit salty.
The Grilled Pork Belly Noodles have very few side dishes, just a piece of broccoli, pineapple, and cherry tomatoes. The amount of meat is substantial, and there is a lot of noodles, somewhat similar to stewed noodles, with a bit of chewiness. The pork belly has a juicy bite, but since the noodles themselves are quite flavorful, both end up feeling a bit salty by the time you finish.

🤨 Conclusion ♥
Considering the price point, the portion sizes and variety are quite good. I would like to try non-heavy-flavored dishes next time; otherwise, the portion is so large that it becomes a bit salty towards the end.
