🍴About the Food☕
After placing the order, the food arrived quickly. The rice is drizzled with a bit of egg liquid, which mixes with the pork cutlet. It is topped with some scallions and onions. The pork cutlet has a slightly sweet flavor, and when mixed with the rice, it becomes a bit sticky; that sweetness might feel a bit overpowering after a while, leaning towards a heavier taste.

🤨Conclusion♥
Netizens say the taste is on the salty side, and I also feel the same. The combination of salty and sweet can be a bit overwhelming later on; it might be better to order a miso soup or a drink to balance it out. There are many students in the area, and there’s another branch on Dongrong Road, often busy with students during break times, making it a place with good cost-performance.
