粥大福 大同長安店

【Foodholic Niko @ Taipei】

"Zhou Da Fu Datong Chang'an Store" is located near Taipei Main Station, about a 4-minute walk from Exit Y15. This branch is newly opened, and there are lots of flower baskets outside, making it hard to find the entrance.

Recently, due to gastroenteritis, I was looking for somewhere to eat congee and coincidentally came across this new Zhou Da Fu. The store’s decor is quite comfortable. Besides having a lot of congee options, they also sell noodles and some side dishes. Additionally, items like fried dough sticks, spicy pickled vegetables, and red tea are self-service, so you can take as much as you like. The fact that you can freely take fried dough sticks adds to the experience (though I can't eat fried dough sticks because of my gastroenteritis...).

Mushroom and Chicken Congee $95
The flower mushrooms seem to be shiitake mushrooms? There were quite a lot of shiitake mushrooms in my bowl, and it had a good amount of saltiness, which felt like it was seasoned with soy sauce. They also added an egg, so there were egg flower-like bits.
However, I found it a bit confusing that although it's a chicken congee, I seemed to have eaten a lot of lean pork and didn’t particularly notice if there was any chicken; maybe both were included.
After finishing the whole bowl, I felt quite full!

If it weren't for this gastroenteritis, I think adding fried dough sticks and spicy pickled vegetables would be great! I also noticed that the century egg and lean pork congee that others were eating looked pretty appealing~
