- Kong Rou Fan is a popular Taiwanese dish that can be described as an evolved version of Lu Rou Fan, featuring braised pork belly. The secret to making the pork belly tender lies in simmering it for a long time and then letting it soak up the sweet sauce. In Taiwan, this spicy yet sweet flavor pairs perfectly with white rice, and the aroma of herbs is truly appetizing. Shilin Night Market is one of the largest night markets in Taipei and is a famous gourmet spot visited by many locals and tourists alike. In addition to game stalls, there is an abundance of food stalls offering such a variety that one visit is not enough to try everything. Getting too carried away with the tender pork, the author often finds mysterious rice stains on game stall prizes. It's likely that after returning home, they cannot help but chuckle, creating new stain records with each food adventure!
