Black Palace Hotel (Original Store) Introduction
The popular pork rib restaurant "Black Shop" in Tamsui is not named so because it tricks customers, but because the original shop was small and dark, a nickname that has been passed down from local students. "Black Shop" serves nostalgic pork rib rice in the style of old military dependents' villages, and the owner, with expert skills in frying pork ribs, has upheld this place in Tamsui for over twenty years. The large piece of pork rib on top of the rice is fried to perfection—crispy and fragrant, with a delightful old-fashioned flavor well-known far and wide. Even the crew of the movie "Within Reach" come here for takeout from time to time. The pork rib rice at "Black Shop" features not only delicious ribs, but the rice is also specially cooked to be chewy and soft, perfectly paired with pickled vegetables and braised tofu, preserving the taste of pork rib rice from the 1950s and 1960s. The reasonable price at "Black Shop" is also commendable; the pork rib rice costs only 90 TWD. For those who do not prefer pork rib rice, there are also noodle options available, and adding some braised side dishes allows you to taste the owner's excellent braising skills. This legendary old-fashioned pork rib rice in Tamsui, with its large and delicious ribs, attracts long queues every holiday. 1 bowl / 90 TWD. Source: New Taipei City Food Magazine, September Issue.
