You can never go wrong with grandmother's recipe. Let's follow us to the alley off of Zhongshan North Road in Taipei City for a bowl of pig knuckle with rice at this traditional restaurant that has been around for generations.

Cutting into this tender pig knuckle, one sees that it is stewed to perfection.

It is very tender and here is the bone, which helps retain all of its delicious essence.

This is the tastiest part, as it has a shiny appearance but is not greasy.

It is made according to traditional family recipe by this grandmother's generation.

It is marinated according to this hand me down recipe and is still popular with young people, as this collagen-rich pig knuckle has been specially brined.

This is what makes its flavorful, which goes perfectly with noodle or rice.

This is why the business is so good in this restaurant that's located in the small alley.
