Chin Chih Yuan (Central)

This is a long-established pork chop restaurant in Taichung. The pork chops are marinated on the outside and taste a bit like fermented bean curd. The satay beef is very good, the beef is great and the satay flavor is very strong.

It's similar to the fried pork chop rice in Taiwan, with a little bit of Japanese flavor. The fried chicken and pork chops in it are very delicious. The rice is very fragrant, and a little bit of seaweed is added to enhance the flavor.
