Trivia
[For Adults] A popular menu almost guaranteed to be on every table in Taiwanese taverns. Since the intestine is braised, the inside is gooey while the outside is fried crispy—the zenith of 'Wai Su Nei Ruan' (crisp outside, soft inside). The green bean neutralizes the offal's heaviness perfectly.
