Bu Rou (卜肉) Bu Meat / Deep-Fried Pork Loin Strips

 



 

Bu rou (卜肉) (pinyin with tones: bǔ ròu) is a traditional Taiwanese snack which originates in Yilan (宜蘭). Bu rou is pork loin cut in strips, marinated with sauce and spices, coated with batter, and deep-fried until golden brown. You can add some pepper and sesame on it. Bu rou is a regional food and is not that common in other counties or cities, so if you travel to Yilan, don’t miss it! 


Why it is called “Bǔ Ròu (卜肉)”?




What Does “Bu (卜)” Mean?

“Deep fry” in Hakka is pronounced as “po,” which sounds like “pok (卜)” in Taiwanese, so it is written as “卜肉.” And “卜” in Chinese is pronounced as “bu,” so people now call it bu rou.

Hi, I’m Mosa. This name is taken from the latter words of Formosa, the former name of Taiwan in 16th century which means “beautiful island.” Indeed, Taiwan does have ravishing natural landscapes and diverse cultures worth exploring. However, there is no much access for foreigners to learn more about Taiwanese culture in English. Here in TAIWANBOW. 臺灣飽典 I started by introducing Taiwanese food to arouse people’s attention to Taiwan since Taiwan has been voted as the country with the best food*. I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
