Lu Rou Fan

I spent three months trying every version of Lu Rou Fan I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled fermented tofu with genuine knowledge and the umami-rich result was noticeably superior. bubble tea was invented in Taiwan and exported globally as one o…

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Lu Rou Fan correctly. The instructor explained why scallion is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The subtly sweet and aromatic result when you make it yourself is different. Taiwanese night markets are a…

I first ate Lu Rou Fan on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the comforting and warming quality I remembered. scallion was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong. Taiwanese night markets…

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Lu Rou Fan well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered.

The comforting and warming intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. fermented tofu was used without hesitation, the way it should be. Taiwanese night markets are a pillar of social life and stre…

Some dishes exist to comfort and Lu Rou Fan is absolutely in that category.
