In terms of operating hours, among the three long-established shops in the birthplace of "A Gei" on "Truth Street," this "Old Brand A Gei" started as a breakfast shop and only opens until 2 PM. If you don't make a special arrangement to come early, you're likely to miss it. After all, many tourists come for the beautiful sunset views in Tamsui and might arrive closer to evening.

The shop has no air conditioning, preserving the appearance of a small store.

Compared to the other two old shops, Old Brand A Gei has two distinguishing features: First, the fish paste is combined with shredded carrots, giving it a unique texture and color. Second, if you choose not to have it spicy, there is no extra sweet sauce, making the flavor seem too monotonous. Therefore, in the end, I asked the shop to drizzle a little chili sauce on it for an extra layer of taste. As for the fried tofu and vermicelli, they were equally fresh and delicious.
