AI Spot Summary
The flavor of Wanluan pig’s trotter is unique, with a chewy outer skin and tender lean meat, which is made even more delicious when paired with pig trotter sauce. The braised peanuts have a perfect balance of salty and sweet, making them an excellent accompaniment to the pig’s trotter. The fried tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and when paired with sauce, it adds even more flavor.
The dining space is not large, but the atmosphere is lively, making it suitable for gathering with family during the New Year. You may need to wait in line on weekends.

Ah Yao's Food Diary | Wan Tai Wan Luan Pork Knuckle King 🐷🍴
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Every time I go back home for the New Year, I always eat here.
Recommended by my dad, a local.
I've been eating here for at least 20 years.
🍴 Meal Highlights
- Signature Wan Luan Pork Knuckle
As soon as the Wan Luan Pork Knuckle was served, it was gone in no time.
The skin is chewy and has a gelatinous texture.
It must be paired with the pork knuckle sauce – it's super delicious.
The lean meat part is also great, not dry at all.
- Peanuts
This plate of braised peanuts is cooked just right, sweet with a hint of salt,
making it a perfect companion for the pork knuckle.
It’s a simple dish that you can’t miss.
- Fried Tofu
Fried to a crispy golden brown, with a crunchy outside and soft inside,
the dipping sauce enhances the flavor even more, personally I prefer the pork knuckle sauce 😂
Every bite reveals the unique delicate texture of the tofu.
🍜 Other Dishes
We also ordered stir-fried vegetables and Hakka flat noodles as side dishes, but the focus remains on the Wan Luan Pork Knuckle. Paired with a bowl of Hakka flat noodles, the broth is warm, and the noodles are chewy and smooth, which goes perfectly with the pork knuckle.
Summary
Wan Tai Pork Knuckle certainly lives up to its reputation,
the texture of the pork knuckle is distinctly different from other places,
with a gelatinous feel and layered flavors.
Although the dining space isn’t big, the atmosphere is lively,
I recommend arriving early on weekends as there is usually a line,
during the New Year, we waited about fifty minutes.
