Braised Pork Rice (爌肉飯/爌肉饭)
Breakfast in Zhanghua [彰化].
One of the three must-tries in Zhanghua City, along with Cat Mouse Noodle and Ah Zhang Dumpling. We hit one of the marked recommendations on the Culinary Map we grabbed - '阿泉爌肉飯', which is actually a stall set in a space. Make no mistake though - the less-than-stellar set up attracts a fair share of devotees and crowds!
I was expecting a huge chunk of braised pork meat - not a portion of a pork hock skewered by an oversized toothpick! The serving was small but the flavour was not petite. The pork hock was braised perfectly - melting on bite, awashed with the fragrance of soysauce and spices.
