竹東邱記排骨酥麵-竹東店
User review: The restroom is quite spacious, but the sink area is a bit small.

Came to Emei to see the Maitreya Buddha, and happened to find this place on my to-eat list. It’s right next to the Zhu Dong train station, with a row of parking spaces in front. If those are full, there’s also a parking lot behind the station (about a 5-minute walk). There were quite a lot of people on the weekend, so you need to register and wait for a seat. They will give you a menu to look at first, but there are quite a few seats available. We were seated within ten minutes, and the food came out very quickly.

This time, we ordered these dishes for three people:
- Fried pork ribs with noodle dumplings: $135 (the fried pork ribs with noodle dumplings is quite special; there’s also taro in the soup which is pretty soft, and the ribs are quite tender)
- Fried pork rib noodles (fine white noodles): $125
- Tomato beef noodles (handmade noodles): $230 (the beef consists of 2 parts meat and 1 part tendon but is a bit tough; the tomato flavor isn’t very prominent, and it’s slightly salty)
- Steamed shrimp meatballs (three pieces): $80 (these are steamed meatballs that go pretty well with their sauce, which is quite sweet, but the skin is a bit soft)
- Pork and chives dumplings (eight pieces): $85 (the dumpling skin isn’t too thick, and it’s flavorful even without dipping sauce; the filling is quite generous)
- Braised pork rice: $60 (this has two types; this one is mainly fatty meat and has quite a bit of braised sauce)
- Side dishes: $50 (beef tendon, red fermented meat, tofu skin, pig’s skin, braised large intestine, sweet and spicy tofu, mushrooms, goose gizzard, pig skin, fried vegetables) The side dishes were all quite good, especially the fried vegetables; they were crispy and quite rare at other places.
I recommend the fried pork ribs with noodle dumplings, side dishes, and meatballs. If you come near Zhu Dong, you should give it a try! 👀
