Wax Apple Braised Pork Rice Introduction
Established in 1975, this well-known eatery in the San Chong area is a famous old brand of local snacks. The interesting name comes from the owner's nickname, which originated when he caught a wax apple during a traditional ceremony at a young age, earning him the nickname "Wax Apple." When he grew up and started selling braised pork rice, he decided to use that name for his shop. The braised pork here has a mix of lean and fatty pieces that are tender and melt in your mouth. The restaurant also offers a variety of flavorful side dishes, including cabbage stew and braised tofu. It is not only frequented by local residents but also ranks high on the favorite lists of many drivers. The wax apple braised pork rice, which has been passed down for two generations, is located near the San Chong District Office. The main clientele consists of middle-aged workers engaged in labor-intensive jobs, leading to a long-established impression of the food as "hearty meals." This can be seen in the signature dish, braised pork rice: the meat topping the rice is predominantly fatty, and while its aroma may not rival other famous shops, the fat provides the necessary calories for laborers, satisfying their need for a "hearty meal." This eatery has been featured in the culinary reports of the renowned program "Extraordinary Discoveries."
