"Linnei Pork Ribs King" sits on Zhongshan Road right in front of Linnei Train Station. For more than forty years this veteran shop has specialized in soy-braised pork ribs: the ribs are first deep-fried to medium doneness, then simmered in master stock for about an hour so the gravy can penetrate the meat, and finally finished over low yet intense charcoal heat. The result is a refreshingly tender bite that keeps legions of regulars coming back—one reason the snack has been passed to a second generation. Inside the modest storefront the aroma of food greets you; an array of braised side dishes awaits your pick. Soups stay true to old-time flavors—bitter-melon, "golden broth," preserved-mustard-greens, dried-bamboo-shoot, and more. Dine in or take out; either way, when mealtime arrives the staff shuttle briskly about, serving customers with practiced speed.
