My Trip

A morning route touring only the traditional breakfasts locals grab before work. Veteran shops clustered around the Zhongzheng and Dongmen areas, linked by foot and subway. Popular spots require an opening-time arrival.

Itinerary

1
Fuhang Soy Milk阜杭豆漿
Restaurant · Cafe · 45 min stay
The mecca of Taipei breakfast. The combo of a thick stove-baked hou-bing stuffed with egg, paired with savory salty soy milk. Lines reach the stairs from 7am — the earlier the better.
07:00~07:30
Transit 12 min
2
Liu Mama Fan-tuan劉媽媽飯糰
Restaurant · Dessert · 20 min stay
A specialist in Taiwanese rice balls (fan-tuan). A hearty one-handed breakfast wrapping you-tiao, pickles and pork floss in glutinous rice. The purple-rice option is recommended.
Walk 10 min
3
Dingyuan Soy Milk鼎元豆漿
Restaurant · Dim sum · 25 min stay
A veteran serving freshly steamed xiaolongbao and xian jiang bao with soy milk. A satisfying meal that completes even dumplings at breakfast. Higher local ratio than foreign tourists.
Walk 10 min
4
Gongyuanhao Sour Plum Soup公園號酸梅湯
Culture · 10 min stay
A 70-year plum-drink shop beside 228 Park. A glass of sweet-sour, cool suanmeitang tidies up an oily morning. Served the old-fashioned way, poured into a cup.
