Qianjin Braised Pork Rice is a long-standing snack shop in Kaohsiung's Qianjin District. Established in 1959, it has been passed down for three generations. Its rich, yet melt-in-your-mouth braised pork rice has become a favorite among locals and gourmets alike. Located on Chenggong 1st Road in Qianjin District, near Datong Hospital and an office building, the shop opens at 7:15 AM and runs until sold out. It's recommended to avoid the midday rush hour to avoid long waits.<\/p>\n
The signature dish is the braised pork rice with a soft-boiled duck egg bun. The braised pork is simmered for over ten hours with pork back fat and shallots, resulting in a glossy, sticky, and fragrant braised pork. The duck egg bun is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich, silky yolk that blends perfectly with the braised pork rice. A version with fish floss is also available, using hand-fried milkfish chunks for an added layer of flavor.<\/p>\n
As for the side dishes, the braised tofu is juicy and tender, while the fish skin soup is refreshingly sweet and refreshing, complementing the rich fish. The restaurant operates an a la carte system, so both dine-in and takeout require a queue. While the service is friendly, be aware of the process.<\/p>\n
In 2023, Qianjin Braised Pork Rice received a Michelin Bib Gourmand recommendation, becoming a representative of Kaohsiung's traditional breakfast. Whether it's your first visit or a return visit, this braised pork rice is worth getting up early to try.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
