富鼎旺豬腳-中正店 — Restaurant in Taichung

魯肉飯 Braised Pork Rice = TWD30 (S$1.50) 鼎旺豬腳 Braised Pork Trotters = TWD90 (S$4.00) No Service Charges

This is a Michelin Rated Eatery at a Busy Traffic Junction and Officially Opens at 11.00am. As of 10.56am on a Weekday when I was there, there were already at least 6 People in Queue.  Not Tourists mind you, but Locals.

Staffs are Very Friendly and Polite.  When I was taking photo of the Order Chit, one of the Staffs even took the Initiative to pass me a Even Bigger Menu that has Pictures of the Actual Dishes on it.

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts

At the Price of TWD30 (S$1.50) for the 魯肉飯, it was Affordable, but you need to have Realistic Expectations that the Taste of this Dish is not going to blow you away.  If you break it down, its just a Small Bowl of Rice with 1 Tablespoon of Chopped Up Braised Pork Belly lum with Braised Sauce.

In fact, the More I ate 魯肉飯, the More I felt, this probably originated as a Poor People Food.  I can totally see its Origins as People in the Past who couldn't afford to buy alot of Meat, so instead just buying some Cheap Meat Scraps, Braising them and eating just abit of them paired with Rice.  I'm not sure if this is the Exact History of how this Dish came about, but it really sure feels that way due to how little Meat there was.

At the Price of TWD90 (S$4.00) for 2 Pieces of 鼎旺豬腳 Pork Trotters, they were Tasty, but I didn't feel it was Particularly Affordable since there were only 2 Pieces of it.

As Good and Soft Melt in the Mouth as the Pork Skin, Fat and Meats were, there were not alot of them actually. I thought just 2 Pieces of Trotters felt kindda Expensive for the Price.

I like this Place, the Food is Tasty, Staffs are Friendly and Polite and I have Zero Issues with it. I just feel it is really not necessary to take the Time and Effort to really come to this Particular Eatery just to eat it.  I feel this tastes just like any 魯肉飯 out there.  A Good Tasting 魯肉飯, but ultimately still just a Regular 魯肉飯.

you ever visit Taiwan, make sure to stop by Fu Din Wang, a local favorite known for its incredibly tasty braised pork knuckle (滷豬腳).

The pork knuckle is perfectly tender, with the skin and meat melting in your mouth. It’s rich, flavorful, and served with a savory sauce that pairs beautifully with steamed rice. Each meal comes with generous portions, often including vegetables and a marinated egg — simple but satisfying.

The prices are very reasonable, making it a great spot for both locals and travelers who want to experience authentic Taiwanese comfort food. Despite the busy atmosphere, the service is fast and friendly. Definitely...

Having searched online for must-try spots in Taichung, I discovered this shop and decided to use UberEats for delivery to my hotel. Regrettably, it fell short of expectations. I ordered a pork trotter rice set meal and pork trotter vermicelli. Upon unboxing, an extremely unpleasant porky smell was overwhelming. We could only take a few bites before opting to discard the entire meal. Uncertain if the food deteriorated during delivery or if it inherently...
