Taiwanese
The Essence of Taiwanese Home Cooking

Taiwanese in Taiwan

From braised pork rice to self-serve side-dish counters — the real taste of Taiwan

Braised pork rice (lu rou fan), three-cup chicken, and oyster vermicelli show off the essence of Taiwanese cooking at low prices. Self-serve side-dish counters (zizhucan) are common too, letting you build a full meal quickly.

What Makes It Special?

01

Using a zizhucan counter

You pick your own sides and pay by weight or count — take only what you'll eat.

02

Don't skip lu rou fan

Minced pork braised in soy sauce over rice is the foundational, must-try Taiwanese dish.

03

Look for the old shops

A plain, decades-old shop often beats a fancier one for authentic flavor.

How to Enjoy It

  • ✓Confirm the pricing method (by weight or by item) before loading your tray at a zizhucan counter
  • ✓Ask if a large portion (大碗) of lu rou fan is available
  • ✓Old-school shops often don't take cards — bring cash
  • ✓Add a bowl of soup for a more complete, local-style meal
