Review
Beinan Pork Blood Soup is the name that comes up most when Taitung locals talk about pork blood soup. The founder, known as Mrs. Hou, is said to have started with a stall beside the Beinan gas station on Gengsheng North Road about sixty years ago, and the shop is now in its third generation. This Chuanguang Road shop is the one most media feature, with celebrity signatures covering the walls. Another shop with the same name on Gengsheng North Road is run by different owners, so check which one you are heading to.
The signature soup uses a pork bone broth with large, thick slices of blood that stay soft without crumbling, topped with chives, scallions and pickled greens. The broth is clean and sweet, with a clear but gentle pepper note. The shop stresses that the blood comes from pigs slaughtered the same day and is rinsed in clean water, which is why it tastes barely gamey. On the side you can order rice sausage, pork liver, intestine and pork skin, and Business Today calls it a classic breakfast for older Taitung residents. None of the sources list exact prices, so check the menu on site.
Fans praise the fresh blood, the clear, non-greasy broth and the cleanly prepared intestines, and some visitors from abroad say it is the least gamey pork blood they have tried. Complaints mention prices higher than typical snack stalls, queues at peak times, side dishes that some find ordinary next to the soup, and disposable tableware for dine-in.
According to Google and travel sites, it opens from about 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and closes on Mondays. Older blog posts list longer hours, so sources differ and it is best to confirm before you go. Parking means finding a roadside space nearby. Lunch is busy, so arriving right at 10 a.m. or around 2 to 3 p.m. is more relaxed.
Good for anyone wanting an authentic Taitung brunch or a hot bowl of soup before catching a train. One person will be happy with a bowl of blood soup and a plate of rice sausage, while two or three can add liver, intestine and blanched greens to share, dipped in the house sauce.
