Along the way, you'll discover an array of local ingredients, have the chance to taste authentic traditional delicacies, and chat directly with local vendors to deepen your appreciation of Taiwanese culture.

Braised pork rice and pork thick soup (蒜味肉羹湯) is a garlic-flavored, hearty meat soup. During times of economic hardship, meat was considered a luxury for most people. To make their meals more satisfying, some started using inexpensive cuts of pork and collagen-rich pig skin to create the traditional dish of braised pork rice, a recipe that has been cherished and passed down through generations in Taiwan.

Additional Information:
