🌟2022, 2023 Must-Visit Michelin Recommended

"Qiaozaitou Huang's Braised Pork Rice" is located on the historic Qiaotou Old Street. The restaurant has inherited its unique recipes across three generations. The braised pork is made from hand-cut shoulder and belly meat, stewed until tender, with a perfect balance of fat and lean meat. It is complemented by the simple flavor of cilantro, making it a highly recommended spot by many locals in Kaohsiung. During meal times, there tends to be a crowd, so expect to wait in line to order.

Huang's Braised Pork Rice is located on Qiaonan Road, nearby a bustling shopping area where parking is quite difficult. There is a parking lot run by a farmers' association next door that charges 100 NTD per hour, which I find a bit pricey. XDD

The restaurant is a spacious storefront, with a covered outdoor area that has some seating and an ordering zone. Inside, there are four two-person tables and four four-person tables, making it comfortable and not cramped. Whether it's for a meal with friends or a family outing, it's quite convenient. The utensils and condiments are self-serve.

The menu for Huang's Braised Pork Rice includes: signature braised pork rice, meat soup rice, noodles, various soups, blanched greens, and a mixed plate with market prices. The prices range from 30 to 65 NTD for small to large portions, making it economical.

Let's eat!
Braised Pork Rice + Soft-Boiled Egg Rice (small) 💰40 NTD
The braised pork rice is topped with cilantro, so if you’re not a fan, remember to tell the restaurant. The highlight of Huang's dish is the soft-boiled egg. When the golden yolk gently flows out and mixes with the diced shoulder and belly meat, it creates a savory flavor that embodies traditional southern braised pork. Unfortunately, the soft-boiled egg I had that day was a bit overcooked, and the yolk didn’t flow out.

Fish Ball Soup 💰40 NTD
Each fish ball is plump and chewy.

Thoughts: The braised pork rice with a soft-boiled egg is truly classic. However, on my visit, the soft-boiled egg had turned into a hard-boiled one. So sad!

Focus on the dish: This truly has the flavor of southern braised pork. Adding a soft-boiled egg enhances the taste even more.

Focus on the environment: Clean and bright.

Focus on parking: Motorcycles can park at the entrance; cars have a hard time finding a spot.

Focus on the restroom: There is one restroom available.

Focus on queueing: The line moves quickly.

Focus on service: Average.

Focus on value for money: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
