📍Location: Taichung. North District (Yizhong Shopping District)
In central and southern Taiwan, it can be hard to find a proper meal after meal times,
but fortunately, you can still find something in the Yizhong Shopping District.
A savior for late-night returners 🥹
Although it’s a ramen shop, there are many rice options available.
This time I ordered:
🍚 Grilled Pork Rice Bowl $180
🍄 Crispy Fried Japanese-style King Oyster Mushroom
🐷 Crispy Fried Cheese Pork Meatballs
(Side dish combo price $98)
✅ A 5% cleaning fee is included
🍚 Grilled Pork Rice Bowl:
When it arrived, I was a bit disappointed,
thinking how can there be so little meat for $180? 😞
However, after finishing, I felt the portion of rice was just right.
Although the meat seemed to be fewer slices, it had a bit of thickness.
I finished with about the same amount of rice and side dish,
the meat was grilled nicely, but the portion felt somewhat lacking,
so I’ll keep my rating average, it’s just okay to eat. 👌
🍄 Crispy Fried Japanese-style King Oyster Mushroom
The king oyster mushrooms are freshly fried and cut into small pieces but are very juicy.
The small size doesn’t give the feeling of a hearty bite,
but indeed, the king oyster mushrooms are juicy, and freshly fried they taste just right.
🐷 Crispy Fried Cheese Pork Meatballs
The pork meatballs were a bit novel for me, even though I knew it was just a pork meatball.
They were drizzled with cheese sauce, plus the meatball had cheese inside!
(Yes, that means it has cheese in it)
The pork had mixed seasonings, so it didn’t just taste like plain pork.
The fried skin is thin, making it feel like a crispy pork meatball,
and it doesn’t give the impression of mixed flour,
each bite feels like biting into pure meat.
The rice bowl comes with soup, which seems to be a bonito kelp broth.
I say seems because of its deep color and lack of ingredients,
it’s a simple broth, so I’m not quite sure what it is,
but based on memory, it feels more like a bonito kelp soup ~
Overall,
if one day I return late and can’t find a proper meal, I would come here again,
after all, for under $300, you can still eat well.
But if I’m looking for good food or want to recommend a place for a gathering with friends,
I probably wouldn’t specifically choose this place.
