When it comes to breakfast in Taipei, Taiwan it is taken very seriously. Waking up before sunrise we headed over to Fu Hang Dou Jiang (阜杭豆漿) to stand in line with the crowds before placing an order of deep-fried dough stick (Youtiao - 油條 - 油条), \r
sandwich with an omelet (Shao Bing - 燒餅 - 烧饼) and soybean milk (Dou Jiang - 豆漿). The one we really wanted to try but didnt order was Dan Bing (蛋餅). Come find out what the breakfast fuss is all about in Taipei (臺北市).\r

Taiwanese Breakfast in Taipei, Taiwan Travel Food Video Transcript:\r
\r
Alright guys. We are up before the sun today and it is for a really good reason. Weve been hearing about Taiwanese breakfast at this one particular spot and were going to go check it out. The MRT just opened and now it is time to go. Yes, apparently this restaurant opens at five thirty in the morning but the MRT didnt start running until 6 am so we had to wait. Now we can finally venture out.\r
\r
Exit five. How excited are you for breakfast? Well now that Ive ually finally woken up Im quite excited. Ready to chow down. Chow down. Lets go.\r
\r
So apparently were not the only ones.\r
\r
So we found the restaurant. It is called Fu Hang Dou Jiang (阜杭豆漿). Hopefully I am pronouncing that right. And we had to wait in line about twenty to thirty minutes and that was at six thirty in the morning.\r
\r
And of course we have two bowls of soy milk because that is what they specialize in and that is called Dou Jiang (豆漿). One is hot and one is cold.\r
\r
One is like piping hot. This one is like boiling so were going to be sampling those. Lets have a look. So yeah, it is just soy milk. Ive never drank milk with a spoon but that is a first.\r
\r
So we asked for both of our soy milks to be sweetened so that is good.\r
\r
Okay so were going to break into the mystery roll. Yeah, so take a look down here. Im just going to snap it in half. It feels dense I know there is definitely something inside. \r
\r
Oh, woah. Oh it is super syrupy.\r
\r
Okay. Woah. Maybe that wasnt the best idea. Haha.\r
\r
Is it sweet?\r
\r
It is very sweet.\r
\r
So next up were having what I believe is the Shao Bing (燒餅 - 烧饼) so it looks like a sandwich but it is basically a wheat cake and it is stuffed with egg. An omelette, chives. Yeah, it looks like a sandwich. Yeah.\r
\r
This last one is either Yutiah or Youtiao (油條 - 油条) please let me know in the comments. Were butchering these names Im sure pretty fiercely. Um, at first glance it kind of reminds me of a bit of a porras that we had in Spain. Like those giant sized kind of churros like things. Yeah.\r
\r
And I have to say it is like super light in the hand. It looks a lot bigger than what it is. It is really flimsy and light. So Im going to give that a try.\r
\r
So it is like a deep-fried dough stick and all we need right now is that thick Spanish hot chocolate and were set.\r
\r
Oh. Okay. It tastes like a bit greasy and salty as opposed to being sweet. \r
\r
So are you feeling ready to take on Taipei after that breakfast? Yeah, Ive got my sugar high. Ive got you know like my saltiness with the egg. So Im ready to go. And in terms of price point that was a hundred and thirty five Taiwanese dollars so it worked out to just over two US dollars per person. So really cheap, really tasty food. And yeah, I can see why there is a big line. And the one thing I wish we could have tried was something I think called Dan Bing (蛋餅) which is basically a pancake with the omelet stuffed inside. We noticed some other people having that and were like ooh that looked good. And I also saw people having some kind of porridge that I just didnt know the name of it. Yeah, anyways we ate enough. I mean were full now but yeah there is other things to try though.\r
\r
Yeah, so if you want to find this place straight out of exit five and here youve got the market. You just go down this way up to the second floor and youll see the lines. Yeah, and dont forget to come early. Yeah.\r
