Sean’s Review

Although herbal pork rib soup (藥燉排骨) is a seasonal dish in Taiwan and especially popular during the winter months, I visited in the middle of summer and the shop was still completely packed

Herbal pork rib soup (藥燉排骨) is actually a very simple dish — it is basically just pork ribs and herbal broth. But the broth here is wonderfully mild and naturally sweet, without the heavy herbal flavor that can make you feel overheated.

Even on a hot summer day, I still wanted to finish every last drop of the steaming soup. The pork ribs were also cooked just right. The meat had absorbed plenty of flavor and was tender without being overly soft, while still having a satisfying texture. It was absolutely delicious.
