• Small Pot Rice Noodles $130
  Includes pork, pork liver, vegetables, rice noodles, and a half-cooked egg. The flavors are rich in spices but not overly salty or monotonous—it's a taste that makes you want to revisit after a while!
  When I was in high school, I loved eating at a Yunnan restaurant near my school, where for a hundred-dollar bill, you could get a bowl filled with pork and pork liver and steaming hot mixed rice noodles.
  Although I can't eat at that same restaurant since coming to study in Taipei, I unexpectedly found a familiar taste here! 💛

• Cold Mixed Rice Noodles $85
  Rice noodles mixed with a sweet and sour sauce and crushed peanuts. Since I noted not to add cilantro and chili, it looks a bit empty. Overall, it’s pretty good, but the price is slightly high; I would recommend the small pot rice noodles instead.

The Yunnan grandma I have been eating with since childhood recommends the large pancake and the scallion pancake! Every table orders them. The large pancake is very flavorful with its sour and spicy taste, and the spiciness is just right! If you like century egg, you can also order the cold century egg salad, which uses the same sauce as the large pancake, accompanied by onion and tomato. The scallion pancake is a dessert after the meal and is a bit like scallion pancakes with condensed milk! I always make sure to order it every time.

Rice noodles are a type of food that is very characteristic of the Longgang area in Taoyuan, as the residents mostly descend from the Thai-Myanmar isolated military groups. These individuals retreated from Yunnan Province to the Thai-Myanmar border during the Chinese Civil War. Thus, the cuisine is primarily based on the recipes from Yunnan and Myanmar.

Among them, the most famous dish is undoubtedly the rice noodles. Its highlight is primarily in the broth, which is a rich chicken soup simmered for over six hours, somewhat resembling a chicken white soup, making it very sweet and not dry in the mouth. The rice noodles themselves are quite similar to the "mian xian" (vermicelli) in Taiwan, and they seem to have a bit of saltiness as well. Another recommended side dish is the pea flour, which resembles a cold noodle dish, and is very refreshing to eat when the weather is hot.

Overall, dining here offers a touch of exoticism, which I personally quite enjoy, and I believe this is a must-try dish for anyone visiting the military dependents' village in Taoyuan.

📍 Hong Kong Fortress Hill
The well-known chain, Tan Tsai Yunnan Rice Noodles 🇭🇰🍜

Tan Tsai Yunnan Rice Noodles and Tan Tsai San Ge Rice Noodles are two of the most famous rice noodle chains, rumored to be from the same group, but with different decor.

I first learned about this restaurant through a favorite Hong Kong YouTuber, and every time I return to Hong Kong, I have to order takeout from this place, which makes me curious about how delicious it really is. 🤣

This time, I kept this restaurant on my list while in Hong Kong, and I almost missed it because I didn't have enough appetite! 😆 Fortunately, I managed to eat here at the end!

Even close to closing time, there were quite a few locals dining in. First, you take the menu to your seat, and then a staff member will come to take your order.

🫶🏻 Rice Noodles with Free Choice of Toppings ($65):
The basic rice noodles cost $37, and the price varies depending on the toppings.

This time I chose fish balls, tofu skin, fish tofu, beef balls, and beef.
Each topping was so delicious! 🤤 I will definitely order them again next time!
The fish tofu tastes very similar to the fish tofu at Shi Er Guo.
The beef is the smooth kind, a Hong Kong specialty.

I chose the spicy numbing broth with a spice level of 4 out of 10.

There are nine spice levels, from the least spicy (10 for mild) to extra spicy.
The menu suggests starting with 3 for mild, but I found that 4 was spicier than the usual mild in Taiwan; it was genuinely spicy with real red chili.

Compared to ho fun, the rice noodles have a chewier texture. I really wish there were similar places in Taiwan!

🐔 Robber Chicken Wings (5 pieces) ($35):
The skin was incredibly crispy!
The seasoning leans towards salty with a hint of cumin—very tasty!

I initially thought five pieces might be too much, but they soon disappeared from the table. 🥰

Would I revisit? Yes!

A snack shop specializing in Yunnan and Myanmar cuisine is located in Meilun. I feel that their food is always delicious no matter how many times I eat it! The Yunnan-style bridge-crossing fried rice noodles are definitely worth mentioning. This dish features rice noodles that are stir-fried to be fresh and juicy, with the meat ingredients melting in your mouth. The spices among the ingredients give this dish a deep Yunnan-Myanmar flavor. The Shaozi rice is very flavorful and pairs well with the purple rice. The large, thin slices of pork really amazed me; they are very crispy. The hand-tossed pancakes should be enjoyed hot right after they are made, as they will harden if left out too long. They have a crispy exterior and a soft interior, and when eaten with condensed milk, they are sweet and delicious—a truly unique dish. Today, I also ordered the cold papaya salad. Right in front of the shop is Lighthouse Park, a perfect spot for a stroll after a satisfying meal.

❤️ What to eat in Longgang? It must be to come here for rice noodles! I recommend this Yunnan small restaurant for everyone to try.
Each post will have actual dining photos, even if it's just a picture of a drink, to avoid some users pretending they dined here by not including food photos.

📍 This place is near Longgang Zhongzheng Market, and parking is very inconvenient. The restaurant provides multiple dining spots, divided into 1st and 2nd floors, and there are restrooms available (on the 2nd floor).
🚗 If driving, it’s recommended to park at the City Travel Longgang parking lot (40 TWD/hour).
🏍️ Motorcycles can be parked right in front of the restaurant for free.

💬 Both the boss and the boss lady are very friendly. Recently, they changed the ingredients for the rice noodles due to certain reasons, but they've just switched back, and the familiar taste I’ve enjoyed for nearly twenty years is still just right. The dishes are served very quickly, and during meal times, the business is very good; it's recommended to make a reservation by phone. If there are many people, you can order a pot of rice noodles, but if there are few, it's better to order separately. Unfortunately, they do not support mobile payments and only accept cash.

Actually, I not only recommend the dishes I had this time but also suggest trying other delicious dishes here!

The dining space in Liangting is bright and comfortable, and the authentic Yunnan and Burmese cuisine is very delicious.
Five people ordered a shared dish for 4-5 people. The food was served quickly and every dish was delicious.
The fish was very fresh, the shrimp paste and cabbage were salty and delicious, and the bamboo shoots and eggs had a salty and sour taste. I finished them before I knew it. The spicy chicken has crispy skin and tender meat.
Super full! There is also a dessert of sago which is a perfect ending. The taste of sago is lighter.
However, the overall feeling is great!
After asking around, I found out that this store is run by the same family as the famous nearby Yijiang Yunnan Burma!
Very close to Mennonite Hospital! It’s super delicious. I recommend the bamboo shoots with eggs and water spinach with shrimp paste.
It is suitable for families and children to dine together. The boss is friendly and the service is excellent.

A pretty good restaurant that specializes in Yunnan cuisine (different from contemporary Chinese restaurants, which tend to be restaurants from other provinces), and there are also some Sichuan dishes on the menu.
There are many kinds of potato dishes (potatoes, potatoes) and mushroom dishes
The portions are small for a restaurant, so many people recommend ordering double portions or multiple dishes.
Treat your guests to milk fans, peas with chicken oil, and rice noodles. You must order them. They are delicious and decent.
The service in the old-school restaurant is first-class. The aunts will know your needs with just one look back.

7/20 Thursday dinner

If you have reserved a table online in advance, you can reserve a table on the first day of each month when it opens. Now it is not difficult to get a table. You can also register and wait for a table on site, but it is more difficult to get lucky. It is recommended to book a table online first. Will miss~

I have visited many times and have tried rice noodles/rice noodles/baba silk. Personally, I like the rice cake the best. It tastes better. The rice noodles are very smooth. The rice noodles look like rice noodles, but they are not as elastic as rice noodles. , it has a smooth texture that spreads in the mouth.
The soup for the main meal is very delicious and the egg drop is very tender. It is recommended to add two spoons of the spicy oil on the sideboard to make the soup more fragrant! You can also add two rounds of white vinegar to change the taste~ Then you must order the pork rinds. You can order the staple food set meal, which is cheaper. The pork rinds are filled with soup and are so delicious~

I ordered side dishes this time: steamed pork/large slices/dried beef
Steamed pork is also a must-try every time I go there. Although it looks ordinary, it tastes very good and melts in your mouth. It is recommended to add spicy oil to make it taste more delicious.
Large thin slices: Different from Thai-style large thin slices, the ones here are not spicy, and the taste is more similar to black vinegar salad. It is ice cold and very appetizing~
Beef jerky: This dish is a little more expensive. The roasted beef is full of aroma. It is paired with garlic and sesame oil. It is very suitable for pairing with wine.

For drinks, I ordered coconut milk. The sweetness is not too sweet, about one point of sugar. It is very strong and delicious. For alcoholic drinks, whole ice cubes are put in it. Unfortunately, it melts too quickly. , it will be a bit too watery!

The restaurant is currently only open until 21:00 on weekdays. There is a late-night snack bar after 21:00 from Friday to Sunday. It is very suitable for drinking and chatting with friends. The meals are also delicious. If you just go to have a meal after work, you can only The price of the main meal is very normal. If you add other side dishes, the price will be around the mid-to-upper range. Overall, I like it very much. I have visited more than five times. If you have the opportunity, you can come and try it👍👍

Meal choice: dried rice

The store uses mobile phone ordering and provides considerate customized services (such as: no pork liver or chopped green onion). The soup is warm and smooth, using bone broth as the base, but it is a bit light. It is recommended to add some vinegar and chili oil to make the taste richer and more delicious. The ingredients are generous, and the egg buns and pork muscle shreds are very tender.

Personally, I prefer the texture of rice noodles, but dried rice tastes good too, soft and with a little rice flavor.

Beverage order: delicious coconut milk

The whole cup of coconut milk tastes very rich, cold and smooth.

dining environment

It is recommended to avoid queuing and book a table first to try it out. After entering the store, the dining space on the first floor is very narrow, and only one person can pass in the aisle.
The dining space on the second floor is not clear, but the air conditioning is not strong enough, so you will be sweating profusely during dinner time.

Summarize

The soup and toppings of the dried rice are good, and paired with the rich coconut milk, it is a satisfying meal experience.
However, the dining environment inside the restaurant is relatively narrow and the air conditioning is not strong enough. It is recommended to book a table in advance or choose to come in winter to avoid queues and sweltering heat.
