Wax Apple Braised Pork Rice Introduction
Established in 1975, this is a well-known old brand snack shop in the Sanchong area. The interesting store name comes from the boss's nickname; when he was young, he caught a wax apple during a traditional ceremony, and hence he was nicknamed "Wax Apple." When he grew up and started selling braised pork rice, he used the nickname for the shop. Here, the braised pork is tender and melts in your mouth, with cuts that are both lean and fatty. The shop also offers a variety of flavorful side dishes like stewed cabbage and braised tofu. Besides being frequented by locals, it is also a favorite in the pocket list of many drivers. The Wax Apple Braised Pork Rice, which has been passed down for two generations, is located near the Sanchong District Office. Since the main customer base consists of middle-aged workers engaged in physically demanding jobs, the established impression of the shop's dishes is that they provide "hearty meals." This can be seen in their signature dish, braised pork rice: the meat topping on the rice is predominantly fatty, and while its aroma may not compare to other famous old shops, the fat provides the necessary calories for laborers, satisfying the demand for a "hearty meal." It has been featured in news reports by YouTube channels focused on driver cuisine.
