#Taipei #YuanYuanFoodDiary
It's been so, so many years since I last had a pepper bun. During a business trip, I accompanied a colleague to Taipei. We arrived at Raohe Street Night Market, which is full of foreign tourists. It’s been so many years since I last came here; I think the last time was in college, about 8 or 9 years ago 🥹🥹

So many of the stalls at the night market have changed. The only thing that hasn't changed is the Shengzu Pepper Bun at the entrance. I love the crispy, chewy old dough skin. It's stuck in the oven and is hot, crispy, and juicy 🩷🩷 The first bite brings back so many memories. Fresh and steaming hot food really deserves over 100 points.

With a bite, you get perfectly balanced fatty and lean pork. The marinated meat is very fragrant, paired with fresh green onions. There’s a subtle peppery aroma with a hint of spiciness at the end. It’s very flavorful and appetizing; you can’t help but want a second one.

In addition to Raohe Street, there are branches at other locations. After a few years, one bun now costs $60. The portion hasn’t changed much, just slightly resistant to inflation, which is still acceptable.

There were 2 to 3 ovens baking buns on-site, and many people were making pepper buns. Although the line was long, the wait wasn’t that long. I kind of regret only buying one. This pepper bun is truly unforgettable and so delightful 😆💕😝

This time I came to the "Fuzhou Shizu Pepper Cake" located at the first stall of Raohe Night Market.
Michelin Plate and Bib Gourmand for two years each 🌟
There are almost always people queuing up every time I pass by Red Dragon.
But the digestion speed is also quite fast.

There are at least six or seven kilns in the small stall that are constantly baking.
There are also many shop assistants making pepper cakes in a one-stop service.
It is conceivable that hundreds of units should be sold every day.

It was very hot when I first got it.
Needs to cool for a while
The crust is quite crispy layer by layer.
I think it's a little thicker but still delicious~

Too much fat inside
Light peppery flavor
And the filling feels a bit lacking
At the price of 60 yuan, it’s a little expensive😅

Many foreign tourists come here to buy it.
Personally, I think you can eat and see if you pass by, but you don’t have to come here 🤣
If you really don’t want to wait in line for too long
You can avoid the time period from about 6:00 to 9:30
You can buy it almost immediately outside of this time~
