Hsi Market Lu Rou (Ming Feng Lu Rou Shop) Introduction
The Xishi Braised Pork started as a small stall in front of a wooden market during the Japanese occupation. In times of scarcity, without refrigerators, food could only be preserved longer through salting, which led to this particular cooking method. Now in its third generation, Xishi Braised Pork ensures that customers enjoy fresh ingredients by sourcing pork just before midnight and beginning the cleaning and preparation process. Continuing traditional methods while adding innovation, it is particularly smoked using high mountain Oolong tea from Alishan, enhancing the aroma compared to regular brined dishes. Ordering a plate of assorted braised pork allows you to savor pig lung, pig tongue, hand-made rice cakes, pig intestines, and rice blood cake with sweet potato, all served with a special dipping sauce made from soy sauce, garlic, and mustard, making each bite a heavenly delight.
