Trivia
[Hardcore] An artwork born from Taiwan Su Shi's almost insane passion to 'represent spare rib bones with taro'. 3-layer texture of 'crispy' outer yuba, 'fluffy' soy meat, and 'soft/starchy' center taro stimulates the brain. Lacks real pork's greasiness, won't heavy the stomach; ultimate diet snack.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Dip in Taiwan sweet chili sauce (Tianla Jiang), crunching and devouring everything including the fluffy 'bones (taro)'!
