Taiwanese people do not shy away from waiting in lines for food. In fact, the best way to find the best food is to just get in line (and then ask the person in front of you what you’re waiting for). Fu Hang Soy Milk has consistently garnered insane lines every morning for years. Breakfast to go is a part of daily life in Taiwan. You can’t walk through an alley without passing a hole-in-wall breakfast joint serving up traditional Taiwanese breakfast fare, served up in paper boxes, held together by rubber bands and tied up in mini plastic bags. Fu Hang in many ways, is similar to the “soy milk” breakfast spots all around Taiwan, but they’ve gotten their assembly line down to cater to the ever present stream of customers lining up and into the streets

Located on the second floor of the recently renovated Huashan Market, this food stall’s reputation has outgrown the market itself (no seriously, the queue often snakes down the stairs and out around the building), but consistently churns out old time favorites from the open kitchen. It’s mesmerizing to watch the experienced hands shape the dough and bake the breads to crisp perfection while you wait in line. And before you know it, you’ll be at the front of the line. Don’t be too ambitious when you order, their portions are generous and you can leave full without spending more than 100NT (~$3).

Despite the unfussy atmosphere and humble aesthetic, Fu Hang has earned international respect with a Michelin Bib Gourmand. You can almost forgive that they’ve categorized it as dim sum.
