How it's used
Originating from Tainan, this dish is a staple of Taiwanese cuisine rather than traditional Cantonese food. It is characterized by its small portion size and the rich, savory broth topped with minced pork and a single shrimp. Because it is a specific cultural dish, it is almost always referred to by its full name rather than being shortened.
