AI Spot Summary
The scallion pancake from this shop is somewhat soft and chewy, lacking a strong scallion and salt aroma. The yam pancake has a decent filling, but the outer layer is too thick. The meat pie with pork has rich juices, a thick outer layer, and a solid filling. The greatest advantage is its good oil absorption, making the pork pie a great value for money.
The waiting time is not long; although there are many people in line, the checkout speed is very fast, taking only 3 to 5 minutes.

★ Review:
Their Scallion Pancake doesn’t have the crispy skin that one typically expects from a "shaobing." It's more akin to the chewy texture of a Shandong pancake, with a softer and chewy dough. It's not dry or hard, but it also doesn’t have much of a scallion-salt aroma. Personally, I wouldn't buy it again next time.
The Taro Cake is quite nice when eaten hot. The filling resembles that of the Beigang Taro Puff. While the filling is good, the outer layer is a bit thick, and for this type of stuffed bun, I find it a bit too thick for my liking.
With a bite of the Pork Stuffed Bun, juices ooze out. The outer skin is also quite thick, and the filling is solid and not loose. It could fill you up as breakfast.
Their biggest advantage is that they manage to "absorb oil" very well; even after some time, the paper bag outside won't get greasy.
I personally think the pork stuffed bun offers a relatively high value for money. I would repurchase and choose either pork or beef stuffed buns.
★ Waiting Time:
There are quite a few people in line, but the checkout speed is very fast. There were about 8 people in front of me, and I waited around 3 to 5 minutes to make a purchase.
