✨ AI Quick Take

老牌張豬腳飯 (Lao Pai Chang Pork Knuckle Rice) is an honest old-Taipei shop whose braise and pork-foot handling sustain its popularity near Yan Three Night Market.

Uncle's line: One bite reveals whether pork-foot braise has a true foundation; this shop relies on craft.
Key note: On Minzu West Road near the market's end. Walk from Daqiaotou Station or find paid parking. Queue, order, pay, then follow seating guidance.
● Pork Hock

Glossy skin is springy and gelatinous without heaviness; lean meat stays moist and carries the dark braise's stable sweet-savory flavor, naturally finishing rice.

● Braised Tofu
