Sanchong Jin Da Braised Pork Rice Introduction
If turkey rice is the representative dish of Chiayi, then praising Sanchong as the capital of braised pork rice is not an exaggeration. In every street and alley, there are countless food programs reports, hidden gems, and recommendations by netizens. Besides well-known braised pork rice places like Wu Deng Award, Ji Xiang Hao, Lian Wu, and Wei Feng, "Jin Da Lu Rou Fan" located on Da Ren Street in Sanchong District is also a highly popular local delicacy. Every morning when the doors open at 6 AM, drivers, office workers, and small business owners flock in, showing the charm of Jin Da's cuisine. Operating for several decades and now run by the second generation, Jin Da Lu Rou Fan is famous for its braised pork rice that is fatty yet not greasy, rich in aroma and flavor. Unlike the usual braised pork rice that has a moderate fat-to-lean ratio or is made entirely from lean meat, Jin Da's version uses only fatty meat. However, since the owner Huang Yuanquan once served as the chef at Qing Ye Restaurant, he not only possesses excellent skills but also specifically uses stock made from old hens and pork bones to create the meat sauce base. With a unique braising technique, the tender white rice is topped with plenty of fatty meat sauce, making it not greasy at all, but extremely tasty and easy to eat.
