Ciao Zai Tou Huang's Braised Pork Rice

With 73 years of history and a Michelin Bib Gourmand distinction in 2025, Ciao Zai Tou Huang's represents traditional Taiwanese braised pork rice done to perfection. They use Taiwan purebred pork with a perfect fat-to-lean ratio, which makes all the difference in achieving that ideal texture and flavor. The pork is braised in their signature sauce - a closely guarded family recipe passed down through three generations - until it's melt-in-your-mouth tender. The sauce itself is a complex blend of soy, sugar, aromatics, and spices that gives the meat its distinctive sweet-savory flavor. Served over a bowl of steaming white rice, with the pork fat and sauce soaking in, it's the ultimate Taiwanese comfort food. The longevity and Michelin recognition prove what locals have known for decades - this is lu rou fan as it should be.
