Bringing in some legit Taiwanese food to the AMK Hub F&B scene, Jiak served up some familiar comfort food from renowned Taiwanese brand 金峰魯肉飯 which was based in Taipei.

I had very high expectations of 魯肉飯 (Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice), so I thought I would just settle for their 焢肉饭 (S$5.90 for Medium size) which also looked quite delicious. But thinking that I would probably just get a portion of rice with one slab of braised meat, I decided to add on that Golden Chicken Chop which costed additional S$3.70.

Wow!

Although I had not tried 金峰魯肉飯 personally, and I felt that the braised meat could be a little more tender, I was surprised with how everything came together nicely like I was having a Railway Bento, complete with some pickled cucumber and half a braised egg. The Golden Chicken Chop did not pale in comparison as it was lightly coated with batter and was sufficiently juicy. In fact, with one whole piece of chicken thigh covering the surface of the food, I was actually having slight difficulty trying to organise my food for easy consumption.

To conclude, there was definitely some components done very well for this takeaway stall. And it gave me some confidence in trying their Lu Rou Rice the next round.
