[2025 Taipei Restaurant] Travel Guide for Dadaocheng Braised Pork Rice (Updated Jul)

When foreign friends visit Taipei, they often love to explore several unique attractions. Dadaocheng and Dihua Street are usually must-visit spots. Among them, they especially love to go for this bowl of braised pork rice. It's already quite famous in Wanhua. Although I'm not a braised pork rice enthusiast, I can call it one of the representatives among many classic snacks! 🌟 The braised pork here is mostly fatty meat. I don't eat fatty meat, but my friends love its rich yet not greasy taste. They also love pairing it with spicy pickled vegetables, which surprisingly taste quite good! I always remind them to add a half-cooked fried egg. Mixing the egg yolk with the rice is the classic way to enjoy it 😋. For those who can handle the heat, adding the chili sauce on the side makes for a perfect combination! 🌟 For those who love intestines, you can order the old braised large intestines. Other options like braised cabbage, bamboo shoots, pork knuckles, and braised pork belly can turn a snack shop into a feast. Don't forget to order the radish rib soup for a satisfying meal! 💯 If you have the chance to bring foreign friends to Dadaocheng, a food tour here is a must. The combination of large chunks of fatty and lean braised pork with rich soup and half-cooked egg rice is delightful. The taste and environment are great, and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommended 👍 📍 No. 17, Lane 220, Chang'an West Road, Datong District, Taipei City

#discoverchina #foodie #taipei #china #yummyfood Some cities are remembered for their landmarks. I remember Taipei through two unforgettable meals. My mornings always began at Li-Ji Soy Milk on Chang’an West Road. No signs of the city’s chaos yet—just the hiss of steamers and the comforting warmth of fresh soy milk in my hands. Their breakfast spread is humble but rich with meaning: crispy fried dough, fluffy egg pancakes, and soft steamed buns that taste like sunrise. It’s not just a meal—it’s a rhythm, a ritual, a quiet moment before the city wakes. Then, as dusk settled over Dadaocheng’s narrow lanes, I’d find my way to Dadaocheng Braised Pork Rice. Hidden in Lane 220, the scent of slow-braised pork draws you in long before you see the sign. One bowl—glossy, fragrant, topped with a marinated egg—is all it takes to know you’re eating something timeless. It’s the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite and just smile. Between these two meals lies an entire day of Taipei. Honest, flavorful, unforgettable. Getting there: • Li-Ji Soy Milk: No. 292, Chang’an West Road, Datong District. MRT Taipei Main Station, Exit Y5. • Dadaocheng Braised Pork Rice: No. 17, Lane 220, Chang’an West Road, Datong District. MRT Beimen Station, Exit 3.

Dadaocheng Braised Pork Rice, nestled in the heart of Taipei’s historic Dadaocheng district, offers an irresistible twist on traditional Taiwanese comfort food. The star of the dish is tender, melt-in-your-mouth braised pork belly, slowly simmered in a savory, rich sauce that infuses the rice with deep, umami flavors. The dish is topped with a perfectly cooked egg, its yolk oozing luxuriously over the braised pork and rice, adding a velvety richness that takes every bite to the next level. What makes the experience even more authentic is the tradition of eating it with chopsticks—no spoons here. Using only chopsticks to grab the tender pork and slurp up the flavorful rice creates an intimate connection to the dish, amplifying the satisfaction of each bite. The simplicity of this dish, paired with the indulgence of the runny egg, strikes the perfect balance between comfort and indulgence. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Dadaocheng’s old streets, this iconic meal transports you straight into the heart of local Taiwanese food culture. With its oozing egg and robust flavors, Dadaocheng Braised Pork Rice is a must-try for anyone craving authentic, flavorful comfort food that leaves you coming back for more. #newyearnewtrip

#GlobalTravel You must try braised pork rice when you come to Taiwan This braised pork rice is located in Dadaocheng near Taipei Main Station It only takes about five to ten minutes to walk from Taipei Main Station I highly recommend it to everyone. It is cheap and delicious A big bowl of braised pork rice only costs 40 Taiwan dollars And the portion is very large and very worthwhile In addition, I highly recommend the middle pig's trotter The pig's trotter is cooked very soft and tastes full of gelatin It's very delicious! However, since it is a popular restaurant, even if we arrived right after it opened, we still had to wait for about half an hour. Be prepared to queue~ #台北美食 #台北

There are not too many people, but there is still a queue. The seats are relatively tight, control the meat melts in the mouth, and no fatty feeling. But if the flesh is thicker it will be more insensitive. Also don't mind paying more and eating roasted meat full of texture. The stewed pork is the average level in Taiwan, and the meat juice is not lost.

Recommended reason: Near the hotel ~ about 10 minutes away from Taipei Main Station Many people lined up and ordered what to eat while queuing, but the store was very quick~ You won't have to wait too long. The braised pork rice tastes lighter and tastes better with the poached egg😋 There are many side dishes to choose from. I hesitated and arrived in Taipei very late, and many dishes were sold out😭 The store only accepts cash or Taiwan app payment. Address: No. 17, Lane 220, Chang'an West Road, Datong District, Taipei City, Taiwan 103 Opening hours: 11am-7pm Average consumption per person: 30-120

What food is worth trying in Taipei? I tried the following foods: 1. Braised Pork Rice Braised pork is pork with skin, and it is hand-cut, so it tastes excellent. The braised pork will melt in your mouth and leave a sticky feeling. The marinade is thick enough, the quantity is large enough, and the bibimbap is first-rate. No wonder there was a long queue of people waiting outside the door during lunch time. Dadaocheng Braised Pork Rice 📬 No. 17, Lane 220, Chang'an West Road, Datong District, Taipei City 2. Peanut Classic Mochi The mochi is chewy enough and filled with crushed peanuts and powdered sugar. It's easy to get dirty when you eat it! Miyue Mochi Hall 📬 No. 22, Section 1, Daan Road, Daan District, Taipei City 3. Zhuangyuan Cake with Taro and Egg Yolk Flavor Zhuangyuan Cake is a traditional cake. The baker made the Zhuangyuan cake into a flower shape, so cute. The Zhuangyuan cake is made upon order and is served piping hot. Cake Maker - Zhuangyuan Cake 📬 No. 33, Lane 190, Section 1, Dunhua South Road, Da'an District, Taipei City, Taiwan 106 4. Bagel 🥯 Many of my friends who like bagels probably know Haoqiu Bagel. Miopane is probably lesser known, but just as smoky and chewy, with just as much filling flavor. Before leaving Taiwan, buy a few and put them in ice trays when you get home. Heat them up when you want to eat them, and you can continue your trip to Taiwan 😉 Miopane, Good Hill 5. Sashimi rice, matcha pudding The sashimi is very fresh, and the most special thing is the rice pickled in red sea bream soup. There are many ways to eat one bowl of rice. The matcha pudding is so smooth, and the waiter gave me an extra one🥹 Tsujihan 📬 No. 68, Section 5, Zhongxiao East Road, Xinyi District, Taipei City 110 B1F 6. Mamba Coffee☕️ Not bitter nor sour, but very fragrant. While waiting in line, I also saw people buying mamba beans. Next time I go to Fengda, I will buy some to take home.
