Trivia
[For Health Conscious] A masterpiece soup born from the fusion of 'burdock (Niubang)'—brought to Taiwan during Japanese rule—and Taiwan's pork culture. Soluble fiber (inulin) from burdock and quality pork protein are taken simultaneously, offering unmatchable effects for diet satiety and constipation relief.
