A meal that felt both homely and special—familiar flavors done exceptionally well Visited 古早人台灣粥 for dinner and was instantly impressed—not just by the comforting porridge, but by their wide range of home-style Zi-Char dishes. It felt like stepping into a warm, nostalgic kitchen where everything is cooked with heart.
The Taiwanese sweet potato porridge was thick, lightly sweet, and so soothing—a perfect base for all the rich, savory flavors. The 梅菜扣肉 was tender, with the preserved vegetables adding a deep, caramelized savoriness that paired beautifully with each spoon of porridge. The 鮮蠔煎蛋 was fragrant and fluffy, with plump, briny oysters lending a fresh ocean sweetness in every bite. The 鹹魚蒸肉碎 was a classic comfort—juicy minced pork lifted by the punchy aroma of salted fish, intensely satisfying yet well-balanced. The 炸南乳肉: crisp on the outside, juicy within, with that addictive fermented red beancurd flavor that kept me reaching for more.
It was a meal that felt both homely and special—familiar flavors done exceptionally well. Left full, happy, and already planning a return visit. Highly recommended for anyone craving soulful, well-executed Taiwanese-style comfort food with Zi-Char flair.
