Located near Jiantan MRT Station, "Yonghe Chinese and Western Soy Milk" is a small shop specializing in affordable traditional breakfasts. This visit was overall satisfying, and I personally rate it four stars. The pan-fried egg and radish cake performed excellently: crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with the egg fragrance blending perfectly with the radish cake—this was the most recommended item of the visit. The pan-fried dumplings had thin, crispy skins and were filled with generous, juicy fillings, making them worth trying as well. The egg pancake was standard; the pancake skin had a hint of crispiness paired with refreshing lettuce filling that was not too greasy. In comparison, the pork-filled pancake was somewhat ordinary, with a bland filling and slightly thick outer skin. As for the drinks, the soy milk and rice milk were common, neither outstanding nor subpar.
During this visit, I was fortunate not to encounter a crowd, allowing for a leisurely breakfast, which significantly enhanced the dining experience. After enjoying breakfast, it's just the right time to hike up Jiantan Mountain. Overall, this is a local breakfast shop that would make you want to return, especially suitable for those who enjoy traditional Taiwanese breakfasts.
Zhongxi Soy Milk is the best traditional breakfast place I've eaten at recently in Taipei. From pan-fried dumplings and radish cake with eggs to vegetable omelets with pork floss, each dish is noteworthy, especially the crispy texture and seasoning. The chili is spicy enough. Overall, the portions are generous, the options are diverse, making it suitable for a leisurely brunch. The environment is clean, and the ordering process is smooth, making it a place that will make you want to return and try more items.
