I particularly liked the scallion pancake stand by the corner of the lane between Tonghua St and Guangfu Rd. Delicious with a fried egg and a lot of hot sauce.<br /><br />Also nearby at the corner of Xinyi and Guangfu Road is a breakfast stand with various buns and things - they had these delicious things for NT$20 which looked like bagels but were actually deep-fried buns stuffed with cabbage and onion. What are those called?dhdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08063817768889382546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-75682248015678214682009-11-14T05:02:05.437+08:002009-11-14T05:02:05.437+08:00Sadly I haven't been, but this could be in the...Sadly I haven't been, but this could be in the plans next month when I go back!<br /><br />Can you read Chinese?

Here are a few of my frequent stops.<br /><br />There was a good stand with those fluffy folded pancakes stuffed with peanut or naifen. Toward the opposite end - is it Linjiang Street?<br /><br />A good soup place in the center, the duck or suanlatang are the best choices.<br /><br />They used to have one of those Indian wrap stands but I haven't seen it on my last couple visits.<br /><br /><br />And save room next time, the sausages are great.grovernoreply@blogger.com
