Trivia
[For Youth] A slightly junkier bento compared to Pai Gu Fan. Applies the absolute Taiwanese rule of 'raw garlic with sausage' as a rice side. The intense sweetness and fat of Xiangchang consume white rice at terrifying speeds. A captivating B-grade gourmet.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Pick up a sweet sausage slice and a sharply pungent 'raw garlic slice' together, tossing them in your mouth with rice to explode sweetness and heat!
