Honest verdict on Lu Rou Fan — good but not exceptional

Lu Rou Fan here was solidly made — deeply savoury from braising without anything to complain about. scallion was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

Taiwanese night markets are a pillar of social life and street food culture. The a morning soy milk and scallion pancake shop atmosphere was pleasant enough. Taiwanese lager was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Lu Rou Fan this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
