The minced pork rice from Lai'ang Mountain is ranked among the top three in the Taipei area. The pork sauce is thick yet not greasy, and the rice has a perfect texture. The lamb soup has a nice chewiness; although it has a slightly strong mutton flavor, the overall taste is satisfying. The lamb soup with skin has a rich broth, and the meat is tender and melts in your mouth, making it suitable for enjoying in winter.
The dining environment is crowded and cleanliness needs improvement. The numbering logic is unclear, which may affect the dining experience. The shop is located under an arcade with limited roadside parking, so it is recommended to go by motorcycle.
The service staff is friendly and efficient, able to quickly assist customers with seating, making the dining experience smoother. The layout inside the restaurant is smooth, but no restroom is available.
Reviewer comment: No restroom provided.
This snack shop located in Xindian is open only during dinner hours and specializes in braised pork rice and lamb soup with skin. During weekdays, the dinner time is often crowded. Upon arrival, customers need to fill out an order form and pay first, then take a number and wait to be called for their food, with a smooth flow of service. The braised sauce for the pork rice has a southern flavor, slightly sweet and savory, mixed with the aroma of Chinese herbs. The thoroughly braised, tender pork paired with distinctly separate white rice, allows the shiny sauce to seep into the rice, delivering a smooth and rich texture with every bite. Adding a braised egg makes it even more delicious. The lamb soup with skin is a must-order dish. The broth is rich, with a little ginger to remove the gamey smell, and the chunks of lamb skin are tender, fresh, and melt in your mouth. It's especially suitable for winter, warming you up from the inside out. I recommend dipping it in some chili sauce for added depth of flavor. The shop is located under the arcade, and parking on the road is limited, so it's recommended to ride a scooter there. Friends who love lamb with skin should arrive early; if you come late, you might miss out. Personally, I will definitely return! 😋
In one sentence, the conclusion is: this is a meat sauce rice restaurant that's been overshadowed by its lamb soup!
Located on the first floor of a residential building in Xindian, I unexpectedly fell in love with them after trying it once during my college years.
I believe their meat sauce rice is among the top three in the Greater Taipei area!
Lamb soup with skin: the meat is quite chewy; my friend feels its lamb flavor is slightly stronger compared to other lamb dishes. The broth itself is not considered light, but it’s not too heavy either.
The meat sauce rice is my main reason for visiting each time. Simply put, it is truly the number one I've had in the Greater Taipei area! The meat sauce itself has fat but isn’t overly greasy; it also has a nice firmness. The sauce is rich in flavor, and it feels like it must have been cooked for more than just a few hours. The texture of the rice is perfectly controlled; the only downside is that this time the meat sauce rice had slightly too little gravy, making it a bit dry.
The only unfortunate part is the dining environment and the number calling system. The dining area is right on the corridor, very crowded and somewhat dangerous, and the hygiene could be improved (though this might be an issue that cannot be changed). Moreover, it's not very clear how the shop's numbering system works, and the number tags don't help in determining the order, which is a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, it is still a place I wouldn't mind riding half an hour to eat at occasionally.
