Many locals consider this braised pork rice stall in the bustling Beitou Market 北投市場 in Taipei, the best lu rou fan in Taiwan. The stall is located on the upper level but the lunch time queue stretches down to the ground floor. So, it is best to be early to avoid disappointment.
矮仔財滷肉飯 braised pork rice (lu rou fan) has been at Beitou Market for over 40 years. Boss 黃文聰 is the second generation owner, taking over from his father 20 years ago when his dad had to stop work to look after his mum who suffered a stroke.
黃文聰 is very particular about quality of ingredients, always using only the freshest pork etc. 黃文聰 and wife start preparing food for the next business day once the stall closes at 1:30pm. Everything is handmade the old way which is tedious and takes a lot of time. For example, the pork is hand chopped and not machine minced which makes all the difference in texture and flavour.
The braised pork stew and brown sauce is the soul in the bowl of braised pork rice. At 矮仔財滷肉飯, the stew and stock are made by cooking pork skin, jowl, fat, spices, sauces etc for 8 hours, stirring the pot regularly. The sauce is browned by soy sauce and caramelised sugar. It is thicken by gelatine dissolved by 8 hours of cooking.
Heavenly.

Fans like 矮仔財滷肉飯's braised pork rice because it is not overly greasy. The sweet rice soft and tender is flavoured by the savoury sweet braised pork and sticky slick brown sauce which hold everything together. The fat dissolves in the mouth and is not cloying.
