Can you imagine eating traditional minced pork on toast instead of rice? In Kaohsiung’s Ciaotou District, a pork rice restaurant famous for receiving a Bib Gourmand recommendation is working with a trendy bakery to offer milk toast topped with pork and cream cheese. They made hundreds of adjustments before finally landing on the perfect ratio of ingredients. So how is it? Let’s find out.

A generous layer of spread is lathered on a slice of milk toast, chock full of big chunks of braised pork. Paired with the milky sweetness of the bread, the restaurant is hoping it’ll win over customers.

Customer
It tastes like minced pork, but it doesn’t feel like you’re eating chunks of pork. Overall, I think it’s pretty unique. It seems like another kind of cuisine, like it’s from a high-end French bakery.

Customer
It’s velvety smooth. They’re delicious together.

This special item is on the menu at a Bib Gourmand-recommended minced pork rice restaurant in Kaohsiung’s Ciaotou District. They use the milk bread from a trendy bakery and the gelatinous pork from their restaurant, but went through hundreds of iterations before they found the right combination.

Minced pork rice restaurant owner
At first we tried a bunch of different things. Since the toast itself is very soft and it can’t seem out of place when you put the pork on top, we literally had to try hundreds of iterations.

Looking to offer a “fast food” option, the restaurant offers individually packaged slices of toast. Just heat one up in a toaster oven, and you can enjoy Michelin-level food in the comfort of your own home.

Tai Chia-cheng
Bakery owner
Taiwanese people tend to like sweet bread. If it’s savory, it can’t be too salty or too oily. Figuring out how to keep the grease down was key.

By merging Kaohsiung’s local favorite with trendy milk toast, this fusion of Taiwanese and Japanese cuisine has generated buzz while challenging local palettes.
