Reviews
- Hayden_21This little place near Taoranting North Gate is honestly such a find. The sweet and sour pork was the standout — the batter was super thin and crispy, and the sauce had that perfect tangy-sweet balance. So good. We also got the fried stuffed sausage (their version) and it was fried up really well, dipped in that garlic sauce — wow. And the stir-fried pancake strips with pork were right up my alley, not soggy at all, super savory. Big recommendation. Only bummer was they were out of the grilled skewers when we went — definitely coming back to try those next time.
