Review

My family's pig's feet are very famous. Basically, there are always a lot of people because tourists come to eat at any time. The taste is very delicious, and the skin is very chewy and the meat is very tender. It doesn't taste like pig at all. It's super delicious. We ate almost a plate each on average, hahahaha

It was noon when we arrived here. Seeing that the restaurant was crowded, we thought it was worth a try, so we chose to have lunch here. We ordered a plate of pig's feet, a plate of green vegetables, and a plate of bamboo shoots. The pig's feet were stewed soft and not amazing. However, this is an ideal dining place for cycling around the island. The dishes are simple and the prices are affordable.

"Manmei Pork Feet" is a place recommended by our guide Dinosaur during our visit to the Hualien-Taitung Valley. I didn't expect it to be such a popular specialty store. The storefront is not very big and the exterior of the house is also very simple. There are many calligraphy works left by cyclists outside, and there are also tables, chairs and benches, but the weather is hot, so they are all indoors. After pushing open the door, I saw that the small store was already full. The busy clerk led us to the simple tables, chairs and benches, put the menu on the table and went about his business. Looking around, I saw that everyone was feasting. There was a plate of bright red pork feet on the table, and everyone showed a satisfied smile. It can be seen that the "well-deserved" Manmei Pork Feet is still praised by people. Manmei is the nickname of a mother-in-law. Now she is the third generation to run the store. There are many photos of celebrities and the boss on the wall. Although the store is simple, the taste of the pork feet is really good. The pork feet are well-marinated, soft and sticky, not very greasy, with a little sweet aftertaste, and crispy when eaten. We also ordered the local white bitter melon soup. The bitter melon was hollowed out and minced meat made with an exclusive secret recipe was added. It tasted refreshing and just offset the bitterness of the bitter melon. It can reduce internal heat in summer. The local cabbage is our Chinese cabbage, which is crispy and a little sweet. The bamboo shoots are also crispy and tasty. The price is very fair. It is the place where we spent the least in Taiwan. Six people spent NT$875. It is really a cheap and good restaurant. I recommend friends to try it.

Manmei Pork Trotters is located on Wansen Road, Fenglin Township, Hualien County. The first generation owner was a grandmother named Manmei. She started out by selling plain noodles, and later gradually switched to selling Hakka-style braised pork trotters. The shop has been open for more than 20 years, and has inherited the salty, fragrant, and oily characteristics of Hakka cuisine, attracting many celebrities to come. The pork trotters here are very flavorful and well-cooked!

We went to a local restaurant and the small portion of pig's feet was a bit too much. Their pig's feet are first boiled, fried and braised. They really melt in your mouth, very soft and tasty! Then mix the marinade with rice. The stir-fry tastes just so-so

Manmei Pork Knuckle is very famous in Hualien. I saw many recommendations from friends, so I came to this store when I was visiting the Hualien-Taitung Valley. The storefront is small and not as big as I imagined, but the layout of the store is very elegant. And their pork knuckle is really delicious, and the price is not expensive.
