Trivia

[For Youth] Walking Taiwanese night markets, you hear tremendous 'sizzling' sounds and smell grilling meat from the steak areas—this is the source. For some reason, it's an absolute Taiwanese rule that it's 'cow-shaped' (even if you order pork or chicken, it comes on a cow plate). The 'special occasion' tableware for Taiwanese youth wanting hearty meat.

Eating tips & etiquette

[Unique Eating] Before eating the steak, swiftly flip the fried egg (half-cooked by the plate's heat), tossing it with noodles and sauce to scorch the yolk slightly—the Taiwanese way!
