Huang Chi Lu Rou Fan

黃記魯肉飯 · show this name to taxi drivers

A long-running alley shop by Qingguang Market, known for braised pork rice and bento boxes where you pick three side dishes. It is cash only and usually has a queue, but single bowls are cheap and tables have dividers, so eating alone is normal. It is on the 2026 MICHELIN Bib Gourmand list.
