Delicious Pork Knuckle King Introduction
Kekou Pork Knuckle, which has stood in the Shindian Dabinlin food scene for over 20 years, is run by Boss Wan, who captivates food lovers with his unique braising technique for pork knuckles. Just by looking at the several traditional braising pots at the entrance, where each pot has its pork knuckles slowly cooked to perfection with a pleasing color and enticing aroma, along with strict quality control that ensures consistent flavor, it's hard to resist the allure of this delicacy. The signature braised pork knuckles are the culmination of Boss Wan's decades of experience. Each day, he carefully selects pork knuckles from the fresh market, specifically the middle section and the trotters, which are first blanched to remove any gamey taste, then chilled to firm up the meat. Next, the ingredients are prepared a day in advance, where the pork is cooked, defurred, and combined with scallions and garlic before being braised over high heat for seven to eight hours, then simmered at low heat. Before serving at the restaurant, Boss Wan opens the flame again for further braising and simmering multiple times, ensuring the pork knuckles achieve a melt-in-your-mouth, tender, rich flavor that is fatty but not greasy. Guests dining here, in addition to the delicious pork knuckles, often find it hard to resist having a few extra bowls of the signature braised pork rice.
