Trivia
[For Everyone] 'Kyoto' refers not to Japan's Kyoto but China's 'old capital (Peking)', a Waishengren dish (rooted in Peking sweet/sour dishes). Evolved uniquely in Taiwan fusing with Western condiments (ketchup/Worcestershire) into a 'fruity, intensely sweet sauce'. Lacks veg unlike Tangcu Paigu (Sweet & Sour Pork), letting you enjoy pure violent umami of meat and sauce.
