吉豚屋 館前店

📍Taipei Main Station

Located near Guanqian Road, Gyu-Ton House has plenty of seating across two floors. However, because it's a prime lunch area for office workers, it gets very crowded during lunchtime. On that day, we sat on the second floor, and the staff will first give you a vibrating number plate. After you place your order using the QR code on the table, you wait for the vibration and then go downstairs to pick up your meal.

Meals 🥘

• Mapo Pork Chop Set / NT$ 279
• Extra Fried Shrimp (1 piece) NT$ 29:
  The pork chop has a crispy exterior and the pork itself has a bit of chewiness. Eating it hot right off the table is very satisfying. The pork is marinated just right, so even when it cools down, it doesn't taste too salty. The mapo tofu isn't very spicy, but it does have a numbing sensation, and the fragrance of the Sichuan pepper is strong. It seems that a good amount of bean paste was added, making it very delicious with rice. Unfortunately, since it's mixed with shredded cabbage, the sauce ends up soaked into the cabbage, and I couldn't add my favorite sesame sauce. The fried shrimp is decent, with a batter that's just thick enough without being overwhelming, and the shrimp itself doesn't feel too insignificant. For this price range, I think it's worth trying an extra one.

If you use the FedEx Jichur Card for a total of over NT$ 600, you can get a NT$ 60 discount!
Gyu-Ton House is a good option for affordable pork chops, with relatively stable quality. I would consider it when I want to eat reasonably priced pork chops.
