Trivia
[For Youth] The ultimate compromise for Taiwanese youth thinking 'I want Lu Rou Fan but fear white rice carbs...'. Oatmeal's gooeyness perfectly emulsifies with Lu Rou gelatin, allowing direct tongue-feeling of sauce umami better than pouring over rice.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Drizzle a few drops of Taiwan black vinegar, refreshingly neutralizing thick pork fat with acidity to shovel down like 'Lu Rou Risotto'!
