Whenever I want to eat braised pork rice, I always come to "Dadaocheng Braised Pork Rice" near Taipei Station. There is always a long queue during lunchtime, but the dine-in crowd clears out quickly.

We were seated at a combined table in the area diagonally across, and the space was just right with the air conditioning being cool!
Today, I ordered a small bowl of braised pork rice with a soft-boiled egg for 55 NTD, fried tofu for 20 NTD, and steamed vegetables for 45 NTD. The taste of the braised pork mixed with the soft-boiled egg, with the rich sauce melting into the rice, is truly unforgettable!
Dadaocheng Lufan, located at the back station of Taipei Main Station, should be familiar to those who like braised pork rice. Every time I pass this store, I can always see a long queue of people, including many foreign customers, which shows that its advertising or reputation has spread far and wide.
Since this store is located in an alley, friends who come by car or bike need to find a parking space on the main road in advance, because it is difficult to park in the alley.
Each bowl of braised pork rice is filled with white rice and evenly topped with braised pork sauce. This combination not only allows you to taste the fat and thin braised pork strips, but also enjoy the white rice soaked in marinade.
The braised pork is fat but not greasy, and the braised meat is so black-gold that you can already feel the gelatin in it before you even take it into your mouth. This LV-level national snack is something you won’t get tired of eating every day.
The portion of the braised pork rice is quite real. The braised pork ratio is 7:3, with alternating fat and lean, full of gelatin, sticky texture and very delicious.
Pair it with the half-boiled eggs that break when you poke them, and the golden egg liquid immediately rolls into the braised pork rice. Stir it evenly and eat it in big gulps. It's really enjoyable.

Located near Taipei Main Station and Huayin Street, Lu Pork Rice is hidden in an alley. Scan the QR code on the table to order. In addition to Chinese and English, there are also Japanese and Korean characters on it. I guess there should be a lot of foreigners coming to eat. (There happened to be a Japanese customer sitting at the next table)
There is a queue to eat at 6:30 on a Monday night, but because of the type of food, the food comes out quickly and the food is eaten quickly, so it doesn’t really take a long time to get it.
Large bowl of pork rice $40 + half-boiled poached eggs $20
Lu Pork Rice is mainly made of fatty meat, but it is not too sticky. I happen to like fatty meat, so I think it is delicious.
The soft-boiled eggs above are about medium-cooked, the whites are cooked, but the yolks will run out. It’s great to eat with pork rice.
There is chili sauce on the table. It is highly recommended that those who dare to eat spicy food can add a little to the pork rice to make it even more delicious.
The small drawback is that when I ordered a big bowl of Lu Pork Rice, the white rice on the bottom was not covered with marinade, so some of the rice was in vain.
Pickled gherkins $35
It is recommended to add some pickled cucumbers and eat it with the braised pork rice. It can just relieve the tiredness of eating fatty meat and braised rice all the time.
Overall, I think it is a meal with a high CP value, because there are quite a lot of side dishes, and it is paired with a large bowl of pork rice and poached eggs. Girls with a normal appetite will feel a little too full after finishing it, so it is a good dinner. It doesn’t cost $100, and it’s pretty delicious. I recommend it~
