Egg pancakes and radish cakes are a must-order, while rice balls are also very popular but often sell out early. Although there are no special dishes, the flavors are familiar and delicious, and the quality is consistent.
The environment is comfortable, bright, and clean, and the atmosphere in the store is relaxed, making it suitable for enjoying a traditional breakfast.
The service is polite and courteous, the staff have a friendly attitude, it is family-run, with a legacy of skills, teamwork, and it is commendable.
It's hard to tell whether it's the second or third generation, but it should have a tradition of more than forty years of serving traditional Chinese breakfast. The environment is comfortable, bright, and clean. The local family business works hard together, and the service is polite and courteous. The taste and quality are maintained very well, the equipment is updated and more professional, and the skills are passed down through teamwork. It's impressive.
The egg pancake and radish cake are must-tries, and the rice balls are great too, but they are often sold out early because they're so popular. Most of the customers are regulars with their own favorites. Perhaps there aren't any particularly special dishes, but it's the familiar and delicious flavors that one can enjoy every day. I really admire their dedication to running the business with such care.
🚩 Traditional Breakfast Shop in Old Residential Area Draws Constant Customers
Wu Hu Soy Milk is located on Xing'an Street in Taipei's Zhongshan District, approximately a 7-minute walk between MRT Nanjing Fuxing and Zhongshan Junior High School stations. The shop is situated at the entrance corridor on the south side of Xing'an Hua City, with a small, almost faded sign that's very easy to miss from the street.
The corridor has many seats, and the semi-open space is well-ventilated. Visiting in mid-October, there was a breeze, so it wasn't too hot. On the left side is an open kitchen and ordering counter. There is reportedly a restroom, but it's likely shared with the community, and I didn't look for it today.
You order and pay at the counter before seating yourself. The staff are friendly and politely pointed me to a seat without any post-rain puddles, speaking kindly without the usual gruffness found in many old shops 😅.
Today's order included:
Sesame Flatbread with Fried Dough and Egg $49
The sesame flatbread is thin, crispy, and fragrant, lacking any oily aftertaste, and it's a perfect bite size. Paired with the soft fried dough and somewhat thick fried egg, no sauce was added beforehand, so I tasted the original flavors. It would likely be great with some seasoning as well.
Soy Milk $25
You can choose no sugar, half sugar, full sugar, and also the temperature and container.
Today, I chose half-sugar warm soy milk, and the sweetness was just right for me.
The soy milk isn't extremely thick, with a very palatable consistency.
I visited today at around 9 AM on a weekday, and there were many customers dining in. Midway through, a long line even formed for takeout, showing that business is indeed good. It's only a pity that they close at 11 AM daily, so it's a shame it can't be enjoyed for lunch.
