I’m CoCo. This is a place dedicated to introducing the beautiful scenery, delicious food, and rich culture of Taiwan. I hope that through me, you can get to know Taiwan even better.
我是可可,這是一個專門介紹台灣各地美景、美食與文化的地方。希望你能透過我,更加認識台灣。
Today, I would like to introduce “Shilu Turkey Rice" located in Tianzhong Township, Changhua County. This is a traditional, nostalgic eatery that is highly favored by locals. Today, let’s enjoy this hearty, authentic Taiwanese local lunch together.
今天要介紹給大家的是位於彰化縣田中鎮的「食祿火雞肉飯」,這是一家在地人非常喜歡的古早味小吃店。今天就讓我們一起來嚐這頓豐盛的台灣在地午餐。

“Shilu Turkey Rice" is located on Zhongzhou Road in front of the Tianzhong Railway Station. Walking out of the station for about 100 meters, you can see the faded “Shilu Turkey Rice" signboard on your left.
「食祿火雞肉飯」位於田中火車站前方的中州路上,走出火車站大約100公尺左手邊就可以看到泛黃的「食祿火雞肉飯」招牌。

Walking into the shop, the first thing to do, of course, is to pick up the menu to place an order. The various staple dishes and the wide array of side dishes (such as fried eggs, braised eggs, blanched vegetables, pig ears, pork jowl meat, etc.) are all very budget-friendly. The bottom right corner reminds customers that side dishes for dine-in bento box meals cannot be customized, so ordering à la carte is recommended.
走進店裡,當然是拿起菜單點餐,各式主食與琳瑯滿目的小菜(如荷包蛋、滷蛋、燙青菜、豬耳、菊花肉等),價格皆非常親民。右下角則提醒內用便當類餐點是不提供選菜的,建議單點。

At the food preparation counter, the auntie in charge of cutting and picking the side dishes is focusing on preparing the ingredients. Various side dishes are neatly stacked on the stainless steel shelves: sausages, large intestines, and glossy, flavorful braised pork belly and tofu, looking exceptionally enticing under the warm lights.
料理台,負責切菜與夾取小菜的阿姨正專注地準備著食材,不鏽鋼架上整齊堆疊了各式小菜:香腸、大腸、滷得油亮入味的爌肉與豆腐,在溫暖的燈光下顯得格外誘人。

Another corner of the shop is the area dedicated to takeout and packaging. Takeout paper lunchboxes are stacked high, and the table is covered with ingredients ready to be served and a large bucket of hot soup. The auntie packs the rice and dishes skillfully; this orderly yet busy scene is the most authentic and warm human landscape of Taiwanese food stalls.
店家的另一角,是專門負責外帶與打包的區域。外帶紙餐盒高高堆起,桌上擺滿了準備盛裝的配料與大桶熱湯。阿姨俐落地裝填飯菜,井然有序的忙碌,正是台灣小吃攤最真實的人情風景。

In the indoor dining area, the long stainless steel tables are wiped clean, and a few certificates of merit and business licenses hang on the wall. Diners eat their rice in big mouthfuls, and the simple, minimalist decor exudes the unique sense of ease and comfort found only in Taiwanese small eateries.
店內的用餐區,不銹鋼的長桌擦拭得乾乾淨淨,牆上掛著幾幅獎狀與開業執照。饕客大口大口地扒著飯,純樸精簡的裝潢散發著台式小吃店獨有的自在與舒適感。

The meals were served quickly, filling up the whole table! Today, I ordered a bowl of turkey rice, a soft-boiled fried egg, braised pork belly, blanched water spinach, and meatball soup. This perfect combination of rice, meat, egg, vegetables, and soup is the most luxurious meal in the hearts of Taiwanese people.
餐點很快就上齊,擺滿了整張桌子!今天點了一碗火雞肉飯、半熟荷包蛋、爌肉、燙空心菜以及貢丸湯。有飯、有肉、有蛋、有菜又有湯的完美組合,就是台灣人心中最奢侈的一餐。

The main character is the turkey rice. The distinct grains of white rice are covered with tender, non-dry shredded turkey meat. The most essential part is the chicken oil and sauce drizzled over the rice; once mixed, every single bite of rice is soaked in a rich, savory aroma.
主角是火雞肉飯。粒粒分明的白米飯,上頭鋪滿了軟嫩不柴的火雞肉絲。最精華的是淋在飯上的雞油與醬汁,拌開後每一口飯都浸潤了濃郁的脂香。

Many people think that the best food in Changhua is Ba-wan (meatballs), but based on CoCo’s several years of experience, I personally believe the best food in Changhua is braised pork belly, with a perfectly balanced ratio of fat and lean meat. The texture is oily but not greasy, and who knows how many hours it takes to simmer gently.
很多人都以為彰化最好吃的美食是肉圓,但是在可可幾年的心得,可可個人認為彰化最好吃的美食是爌肉,肥瘦比例拿捏得恰到好處的爌肉。油而不膩的口感,不知道得花費多少時間細燉。

A common feature of delicious braised pork belly is that one or two toothpicks will be inserted into it. Do not underestimate this toothpick; it serves functions such as shaping, preventing the meat from falling apart, and helping to conduct heat. Please be sure to remove it before eating the meat.
爌肉好吃的共同特點,就是都會插入1、2根牙籤,別小看這根牙籤,他具有定型、防止肉塊散落、幫助導熱等功能,在吃肉前請務必拔除。

After enjoying the rich turkey rice and braised pork belly, the final touch is a perfect finish with this bowl of pork ball soup, featuring springy and chewy pork balls. Paired with a broth brewed from pork bones and seasoned with a bit of celery and pepper, taking a sip instantly makes the greasiness of the entire meal disappear, bringing immense satisfaction to both the stomach and the soul.
享受完濃郁的火雞肉飯與爌肉後,最後就是用這碗貢丸湯來做完美的收尾,彈牙有嚼勁的貢丸。搭配大骨熬煮的湯頭,撒上一點芹菜與胡椒提味,喝一口,整頓飯的油膩感瞬間消失,這讓肚子與心靈同時都得到了極大的滿足感。
When coming to Tianzhong Township, Changhua County, in addition to enjoying the small town scenery, do not forget to walk into Zhongzhou Road, come to “Shilu Turkey Rice" to order a bowl of turkey rice and braised pork belly, and experience the most authentic traditional Taiwanese food culture.END
