Liang Chia Pig Knuckle

For over 30 years, locals have been swooning over the pork knuckle rice here – ham hock braised in a marinade with spices and Chinese herbs, served with a glistening amber sauce; the peppery aftertaste is spellbinding. Steamed rice from Hualian and a julienne of crispy bamboo shoots cut through the richness. Noodle lovers can't get enough of the umami-laden pork bone broth lifted by veggie sweetness. Even the ordinary-looking pan-fried egg has its own charm, boasting mouth-watering aroma and fluffy texture.
