Go here for: a traditional Taiwanese breakfast (at traditional Taiwanese prices)
Order this: scallion bing with egg 蔥花餅夾蛋 (cong1 hua1 bing3 jia2 dan4), sweet soy milk 甜豆漿 (tian2 dou4 jiang1), black sesame pastry 黑芝麻酥餅 (hei1 zhi1 ma2 shu1 bing3), youtiao 油條 (you2 tiao2 aka Chinese donut, for dipping into the soymilk)
Amount of time to spend: you can be in and out in 30 min or less, but also great for grabbing things to go
When to come: if you want to beat the breakfast rush, try to get there before 8am on a weekday, but generally the line moves fast (a lot of people are just getting things to go) so head over as soon as you wake up
Getting here: it’s easily accessible from the CKS Memorial Hall MRT station (red, green), use exit 3 and continue on Jinhua street.
Other things to note:
- They do often sell out of pastries, so if you’re heart is set on something, it’s best to get there before 10am.
- They also deliver via UberEats.
