The outer skin of the meat-filled rice is chewy, complemented by the salty flavors of the braised tofu and sour cabbage. The steamed egg rice is refreshing and delicious. The pork trotter meat is very tender and chewy, while other side dishes like braised cabbage and dried bamboo shoots have their unique flavors. The pork leg meat is fragrant and well-seasoned, and the side dishes are perfectly matched, with the steamed egg and soup also being impressive.
The restaurant requires waiting in line, with both dine-in and takeout services orderly, creating a lively atmosphere that makes people look forward to the arrival of delicious food. The queue management is well-planned and efficient.
The staff provide orderly service, giving a number slip after checkout, and the meal pickup process is clear. However, due to the large number of people, you may need to wait patiently.
Arrived outside of meal hours but there was a long queue. However, the queue management was well planned, and I quickly placed my order and received my meal. Taking a bite was truly astonishing!! The pork leg was super fragrant and tender, and the flavorful meat paired perfectly with the side dishes; it's not just the main dish that's delicious.
The steamed egg and soup were also tasty and not overwhelming, so I immediately ordered another bowl after finishing. This is authentic cuisine from Kaohsiung! 😍
Speaking of drumstick rice, did you know that this dish has different names in different places? Some people call it Zhigao, while others call it braised pork. However, everyone in the know knows that shankwu refers to the part between the hind legs and feet of a pig; Zhigao refers to the hind leg meat, while 焄肉 refers to the belly of the pig, which is mainly made from pork belly or three-layer pork...
✅ Leg Ku Rice: In addition to the full portion of leg meat on top of the white rice, there are also poached eggs, braised tofu and sauerkraut. The braised tofu and drumsticks were both too flavourful and tasted a bit salty overall. However, the advantage is that the skin of the leg is very elastic and you can eat full of gelatin, but the meat part is relatively dry.
✅Steamed egg rice: A bowl of steamed egg is placed on top of the white rice and topped with lean meat. The taste is refreshing and not as greasy as the drumstick rice.
✅Pork trotters: The skin texture is more tough and chewy than shanks. However, this one requires picking the meat from the bones, so it is more recommended for people who like to chew bones.
✅Braised cabbage: It tastes like a general snack bar, with a hint of sauce and the sweetness of vegetables.
✅Dried bamboo shoots: crispy and full of soy sauce aroma. It goes well with white rice.
✅Bitter melon: When eaten with mayonnaise, you will not feel the bitter taste when you enter the mouth, but it will gradually emit a faint bitter taste after swallowing.

"Jun Leg Ku Rice" requires queuing whether for dine-in or take-out. After ordering and settling the bill, the clerk will give you a number sheet, and you will be asked to pick up your meal and call your seat in order. In fact, all the meals I ate this time were on the salty side. Although the skin of the drumstick was really tender and tasted very good, overall it was very unpalatable, which was a pity.
