雙月食品社 北投店

📍Beitou District, Taipei City (near Xinbeitou Metro Station🚉 & Beitou Park⛲️)
Famous for its soup dishes | Slogan: The number one brand of health soups for the Chinese community🥣

Shuangyue is a restaurant I frequently order takeout from!
The food is thoughtfully packed (the sauce for the dry noodles is separated from the noodles!), generous portions, and great quality, not much more expensive than dining in.

This time it was my first visit to dine in at Shuangyue🍴

🥘
Ordered items:
🌶️ Energetic A-Gan Pulled Pork Soup ($110):
This is the must-order soup every time I get takeout🤣 Unfortunately, there was a bit too much meat residue in the soup today, which affected the experience of drinking it. Although it uses lean meat, the soup base is still chicken soup (there’s also another version with chicken thigh).
I absolutely love the combination of pulled chili peppers and chicken soup; the spiciness isn’t high, and it’s a gentle, heartwarming match.

Additionally, I particularly liked the cabbage in the soup—I saw on the website they claim to use high-altitude cabbage, and I could definitely feel that the cabbage was cooked for a long time to become very tender, yet still retained the sweetness and crispness of high-altitude cabbage.

🍜 Love-Hate Mixed Noodles ($70):
Also a must-order every time!
The noodles have a slight thickness and great chewy texture, making them very delicious. It’s quite a unique type of noodle, as you rarely find noodles with this texture.

The sauce base is sesame sauce, with a little chili powder for seasoning; personally, I don’t think it’s as spicy as Sichuan pepper, but be aware that this dish is spicier than the pulled chili soup.

🍚 Oily Braised Pork Rice ($50):
The fat-to-lean ratio is about nine to one; the sauce portion could be a bit more generous.

🐟 Fresh Sea Bass with Clams ($200):
A very sweet soup base, which is much milder in flavor compared to the previous soup—the balance of flavors is really well captured, allowing you to taste both the sea bass and the clams.

🥚 Lucky Braised Egg ($10 each) + Tofu Skin ($25):
I’ve tried several of Shuangyue’s braised dishes, and personally, I recommend the braised egg; the others are rather ordinary.

Notes:
🔸 The dining environment can be somewhat crowded; couples will need to share tables, and you’ll need to take a number and wait. The number vending machine is on the right side upon entering the restaurant.
🔸 There are also several chairs outside for waiting for your number (Arrived on Sunday at 12:30, had to wait about 15 minutes).
