Hello everyone, I'm Simon Hsiao-Nan, a street food enthusiast from the underprivileged, and today we've come to the familiar Keelung Temple Market. I originally wanted to eat the renowned braised pork rice that only locals would enjoy, but it was sold out early today. So, I had to settle for the meat soup at Tian Yi Xiang, which is popular with tourists. I recommend coming from Monday to Thursday when there are available seats and no need to wait in line. This place tends to use more sauce, and the flavor is on the saltier side, which can become overwhelming halfway through the meal, so it's a good idea to pair it with the meat soup. I wouldn't recommend the other side dishes, as the portions are very small.

Reviews from the People with Braces: There's a Restroom Next to the Temple

During the New Year holiday, I came to the Keelung Temple Night Market and wanted to eat something hot. I chose Tian Yi Xiang Meat Soup. Although there were many people, the line moved quickly, so I didn't have to wait too long.

The braised pork rice has a southern flavor, with a sweet sauce, and the white rice is cooked well with a suitable texture. The braised duck egg has a creamy yolk, richer in flavor than chicken eggs, though it is a bit more expensive. The braised cabbage is cooked thoroughly, with a noticeable sweetness, and has a soft but not mushy texture. The meat soup has well-handled meat chunks that are slightly chewy. The broth is clear but still has a hint of sweetness, making it overall very palatable.

In terms of pricing, it's considered affordable in the night market, and the flavors are quite satisfactory, making it suitable for those looking for simple snacks.

Closed from January 18 to February 2 all day.

I saw this place where a friend checked in several times and praised it as his favorite braised pork rice, so I saved it. Recently, I love braised pork rice. I didn’t know what to eat that day, so I drove to Keelung to eat braised pork rice.

Tianyixiang’s prices are quite affordable, a small bowl of braised pork rice only costs 25 yuan!
There is a lot of marinade, so much that you can barely see the rice. Every grain is covered in marinade. Although there is a lot of marinade, it is not overly salty and has a slight sweetness. It is a pretty good braised pork rice. But I personally still prefer the kind of braised pork rice that is braised to a black and golden color and has a sweet taste!

shredded bamboo shoots
I have never seen shredded bamboo shoots with sweet and spicy sauce, and the sweet and spicy sauce here is quite spicy for me who don’t like spicy food! It’s so spicy that I can’t quite bring out the original flavor of the bamboo shoots. This dish is a bit overwhelming for me and I won’t order it again!

Meat soup
Although it is a soup, there is no thickening, which is surprisingly refreshing! It has a faint flavor of bonito, and there is a lot of meat soup. The red meat is coated with a thin layer of paste, and it tastes real!

Overall, it tastes good, but if it is too crowded with too many people, it will reduce my willingness to eat.
