    You don't know how soft and melty a piece of pork can be until you have a bite into Taiwanese soy sauce briase pork and place it on top of a bowl of rice simply transform it into a hearty meal. Like the guy said, there is plenty of regional difference between recipes of the pork over rice. Dude is making a decent homey big ol chuck style rather than the minced lean pork style. Make sure you try any variations whenever you got a chance to do so.
