開店之後最大的不同，就是晚餐都沒有辦法照時間吃。這天跟胖大爺還有主廚林忠孝開完會後突然想起來還沒吃飯，於是就驅車前往台中夜間最猛的夜間部爌肉飯用餐。
[EN] The biggest difference after opening my own shop is that I can never eat dinner on time. After a late meeting with Pang Da Ye and Chef Lin, we realized we hadn't eaten yet. So, we drove straight to Taichung's fiercest late-night spot: Night Department Braised Pork Rice (Ye Jian Bu).
夜間部爌肉飯我不是第一次去吃，那時候還沒有重新裝潢。其實在不久前該店剛重新裝潢好就慘遭祝融，那時對我們台中夜貓子族群來說可是一件大事呀。浴火重生的夜間部重新開幕之後，生意好像比以前更好，即使我們用餐時已經半夜12點多，依然人聲鼎沸。
生意很好，現場工作人員也不少。其實自己開了胖大爺之後才真正明白，這種武場生意真的很辛苦。
一大鍋的魯菜，也只有生意暴好的店敢這樣備餐～
[EN] This wasn't my first time here, but it was before their recent renovation. Not long after they remodeled, they unfortunately had a fire, which was huge news for us Taichung night owls. Since reopening, business seems even better than before. Even past midnight, the place was packed and buzzing. Seeing the busy staff made me realize just how tough this kind of high-volume business is. Only a wildly popular spot dares to prep a massive pot of braised dishes like this!
酸菜跟辣蘿蔔乾都是免費供應，有需要的自己可以去拿取。不誇張，這時間真的是午夜12點鐘，滿場....
內用跟外帶都畫單，單子顏色不一樣，外帶好像是粉紅色的。
人多好點菜，畫面隨便擺就很澎湃.....
辣椒醬油，吃爌肉飯有這一味最讚～～～
[EN] Pickled mustard greens and spicy dried radishes are provided for free. I'm not exaggerating—it was truly midnight and completely full. They use color-coded order forms for dine-in and takeout. With several people, it's easy to order a lot, making the table look incredibly lavish. And of course, chili soy sauce is an absolute must-have with braised pork rice!
魯排骨(55元) 就是排骨飯的排骨啦，如果不想吃飯也可以單點，不過這排骨吃完的感覺，我自己做的比較好吃~XD
燙青菜(30元) 今天出的是地瓜葉，上面的油蔥酥很香。
[EN] The Braised Pork Chop (55 NTD) is the same one used in their pork chop rice. You can order it à la carte if you don't want rice. Honestly though, I think my own homemade version tastes better! XD The blanched sweet potato leaves (30 NTD) were topped with very fragrant fried shallots.
滷豬腳(中段，單點80元，加飯多10元) 白飯澆上滷汁，然後搭配一點酸菜末就很好吃了。
豬腳皮相當Q彈，口味也沒有滷得很鹹，豐富的膠原蛋白女生吃了很好，不過我們家闆娘竟然不敢吃豬腳，哈哈哈哈~
苦瓜湯(25元) 吃得苦中苦，清涼退火，苦瓜真的是好物。
[EN] Braised Pig Trotter (Middle section, 80 NTD à la carte; add 10 NTD for rice). Drizzling the braising liquid over white rice and pairing it with some pickled mustard greens is simply delicious. The trotter skin is very chewy and not overly salty. It's packed with collagen, which is great, though funny enough, my wife doesn't dare eat pig trotters, haha! The Bitter Gourd Soup (25 NTD) is great for cooling down the body.
大腸豬血湯(40元) 基本上這是這一類小吃店的基本款湯品，一樣料多實在，湯頭也挺不錯。粉腸豬血湯(40元) 這裡的粉腸跟剛剛黑白切的粉腸一樣，多了豬血讓整碗湯感覺更豐富。
豬血很軟很嫩，又讓我想到台南那種疑似加了膠的豬血，真的又硬又難吃。比較起來其他地方吃到的豬血，真的都是又軟又嫩。湯頭部分就是這些豬雜加大骨去熬製出來，加點酸菜一起煮一整個就是最道地的台灣古早味。
最後當然全部清空，然後胖大爺本人表示沒有吃飽，花哈哈哈哈哈~三更半夜想吃點粗飽的，就來一趟夜間部打打牙祭吧！！！
[EN] Pork Blood Soup with Intestines (40 NTD) is a staple at this kind of eatery. It's loaded with ingredients and the broth is solid. The Pork Blood Soup with Small Intestines (40 NTD) is equally rich. The pork blood here is incredibly soft and tender—it reminds me of the stiff, unpleasant ones I've had in Tainan before; the soft ones are definitely superior. The broth, simmered with pork offal and bones, combined with pickled greens, delivers an authentic old-school Taiwanese flavor.
We cleared all the plates, and yet Pang Da Ye claimed he still wasn't full, hahaha! If you ever need a hearty, satisfying meal in the middle of the night, Night Department is the place to go!
