東松排骨

Dong Song Pork Ribs is located near Wufenpu on Songshan Road, close to Songshan Train Station. The shop was founded in 1987, and it has been serving delicious food for nearly forty years.

Today, I enjoyed Korean kimchi fried noodles, Dong Song pork ribs rice, fried tilapia strips, fresh lemon juice, and papaya milk, totaling 415 TWD.

Korean Kimchi Fried Noodles:
Made with handmade thick noodles. The noodles are chewy and have a good bite, with the sauce evenly clinging to the noodles. The kimchi is crunchy, with a balanced sourness and aroma, giving a strong Taiwanese-Korean fusion feel. The portion is generous, truly filling.

Dong Song Pork Ribs Rice:
The ribs are bone-in loin, thick and chewy, with a flavorful marinade. The aroma and taste of black pepper complement the rice well. The white rice is fluffy and not soggy, with the addition of some braised pork on top. The side dishes are quite homey and standard, but I personally liked the fans.

Fried Tilapia Strips:
The exterior is crispy while the fish meat remains juicy. Be careful not to burn your mouth while enjoying them hot, and they're delicious paired with pepper.

Fresh Lemon Juice:
The acidity is a bit high and is better suited for heavier main dishes. It pairs perfectly with the pork ribs rice, as the strong sourness is instantly balanced by the rib’s fat, leaving only the refreshing lemon fragrance. However, drinking it alone after finishing the rice can be quite sour.

Papaya Milk:
The papaya flavor is prominent, and the milk is smooth. The overall consistency is close to that of a smoothie. I even felt a bit full after finishing it.

Overall, it is a simple yet stable Taiwanese-style traditional restaurant. The space is spacious with plenty of seating, and there is even a basement. The decor is not particularly extravagant, but it is clean and tidy, making for a very practical and delicious dining experience.

Highly recommended!
