The best braised pork rice in the world as always, but it’s a pity that plum juice is sold out today. In addition, the turkey rice is juicy and good but not as good as braised pork rice. Braised duck egg is also delicious.
Overall, I would give this meal a 9.5 out of 10."

"Disappointed. Meat is fatty. Small serving. Vegetable has no taste. Don't understand why it is recommended by many."

Tasty Treats: Night Market Street Food Tour in Taipei, Taiwan
Our first stop at the market was Formosa Chang for their famous and award winning Lu Rou Fan, aka braised pork rice. This small shop is located in a store along the street of the market. Because it is in an actual building, it doesn’t have to be taken down every day like the food carts in the middle of the street.
