Tainan pork chop rice: braised or fried, each has its loyal fans

These are the pork chop rice spots Tainan locals name. On the braised side are Jin He, which fries the pork first and then braises it, with cartilage-in braised chops, and Zhang Hefeng, known for a whole thick cut of braised pork. On the fried side are A-Song, whose fried chops have a black pepper aroma, and Sanxing Community, which fries its chops to order. Lunch usually means a line, but Jin He and Nini Pork Chop Rice can be booked by phone.

開春古早味排骨飯("開春" means "start of spring," and "古早味" means "old-fashioned flavor"; the shop name signals a traditional pork chop rice box.)

A long-established shop on Kaishan Road with only four items on the menu: pork chop rice, chicken drumstick rice, shiitake pork rice, and shiitake rice soup. The braised chicken drumstick is tender and well flavored, served with cabbage and mildly spicy, slightly sweet pickled mustard greens. Dine-in comes with a bowl of clear, lightly sweet soup.

Most mentions describe the dining and food-prep areas as tidy and clean, even though it is a roadside stall. Dishes are washable, not disposable. The outdoor seating stays cool.

The owner is friendly, serves quickly, and is careful with change. One customer mentions she ran after them to return extra money she had been paid. Children's utensils are also provided.

In the shiitake minced-pork rice, the mushrooms soak up the braising sauce and the meat is tender. The pickled mustard greens and cabbage go well with rice, and the chicken leg has an old-fashioned flavor. The seasoning is not heavy, so the natural sweetness, saltiness and spice of the side dishes come through.

Value46% positive · 11 reviews

Most mentions say the boneless pork chop has little meat and that portions shrank after a price increase. The 90 NT$ box has fairly simple sides, so the price feels not very worthwhile for the portion. Some people find the price reasonable.

Freshness100% positive · 1 reviews

Only one mention says the house-stir-fried pickled mustard greens and braised chicken leg were well seasoned and tasted fresh, which is not enough to draw a conclusion.
