The nearly 30-year post-war stationing of American troops in Taiwan from 1950 to 1979 also meant the introduction of Western-style breakfast traditions such as sandwiches and burgers, as well as beverages like black tea and tea with milk. Mei Er Mei’s chain of Western-style breakfast shops, with its iconic red, orange and yellow signboard, has become an indelible part of Taiwanese food culture.

When I talked about what to eat for breakfast in Taipei, many friends recommended Fuhang soy milk to me, and told me to go early, I have to queue for a long time😂 We arrived at almost 11 o'clock, thinking to queue will not be long queue, but to queue two flights of stairs, queued 45 minutes to my place 😝 We ordered iced soy milk, salted soy milk, caramel sweet cake, fried dough sticks and salted rice balls😋Iced soy milk is more ordinary, iced rice milk is delicious, the taste is more layered, because there are many ingredients inside, a little like congee😂 The fried dough sticks are fried very crispy, the oil content is just right, with salted soy milk, great 😋 salted rice balls are not lost, inside the same many ingredients, I ordered the one with eggs, very satisfied 😎 Caramel sweets, very surprising, the filling is malt caramel, the crust is full of sesame, sweet and not leak 😋 worth recommending ✌🏻 P.S Remember to order from the clerk in the order of ordering the pulp first and then the biscuits Address: 2F, No. 108, Section 1, Zhongxiao East Road, Zhongzheng District, Taipei (Huashan Market) Access: Exit 5 of Shandao Temple Station on the MRT Pannan Line Opening Hours: Tuesday to Sunday 5:30am to 12:30pm (Closed Mondays) #TraditionalChineseBreakfastShop #HuashanMarket #Michelin Restaurant #Taipei Breakfast Must-Eat #Fuhang Soy Milk

Fuhang soy milk (阜杭豆漿) tops many lists of best breakfast shops in Taipei. Because it is so “famous”, though, it attracts hordes of people, and the wait can easily be 20 minutes or longer (see my full review of Fu Hang Soy Milk). If you’ve got the patience, then some of the hottest items are shaobing (燒餅, a flaky pastry that can be stuffed with egg and/or youtiao – fried dough sticks), fantuan (飯糰 or sticky rice wads stuffed with meat floss and dried radish), and warm salty soymilk with youtiao.

The best breakfast in Taipei can be found at Yong He Soy Milk King, so if you’ve never tried Taiwanese food before, you must go there.They have a large number of outlets throughout Taipei, including the well-known ones in Ximending, and they serve a great range of Taiwanese breakfast fare.Breakfast items vary from location to location of Yong He Soy Milk. However, they all typically offer different versions of soy milk, clay oven buns, rice rolls, egg pancakes, and dumplings.

Taipei’s most famous breakfast shop, Fu Hang Soy Milk ( 阜杭豆漿), is within walking distance or you can ride the MRT one stop east from Taipei Main Station to Shandao Temple. Due to its extreme popularity among visiting tourists, the line for Fu Hang ranges from 15 minutes to 1 hour (or in some extreme peak times, up to 1.5 hours). Therefore, only consider this option if you have a solid 1.5 to 2 hours waiting time at Taipei Main Station.

豆漿油條 or Soy Milk with dough is one of the locals’ favourite snack, and Fuhang is one popular brand familiar with both locals and tourists alike. The accessible location from Shandao Temple Station also means that you can pretty much expect to queue for at least fifteen to twenty minutes. Choose from hot or cold Soy Milk, and pair it with the You Tiao or dough which comes in thick or thin slices, with or without fried egg.

Start your trip with a visit to Fu Hang Soy Milk for their hou bing (thick bread) and shao bing (flatbread). These breads are traditionally stuffed with scrambled eggs and Chinese fried dougnut sticks (literally the best thing in the world), coming together to create a hearty and delicious breakfast. Hou bing is soft and chewy, while shao bing is crisp and flaky, offering a delightful contrast in textures.

The happiest thing for Taiwanese people is that there are never fewer than three breakfast restaurants on each street. In addition to the common western breakfasts such as sandwiches and burgers, there are also Chinese foods, like delicious sesame seed cakes, fried dough sticks, omelets, soybean milk, carrot cakes, and so on. The number of choices is beyond imagination.

Another specialist in soy milk and Chinese donuts, Fuhang Soy Milk is the most popular breakfast place in Taipei – and with reason. Garnering a spot in the Michelin Guide, the locals can vouch for the quality of the food and drink here. With queuing times sometimes exceeding an hour, you’ll need to get here very early to see what all the fuss is about.

This restaurant most definitely has buzz surrounding it, which is proven by the really long line!. This restaurant was one we heard about before arriving in Taipei. It’s been called the best soy milk in Taipei by some, but honestly, the other soy milk restaurants are better if you ask us.

We headed straight to Fu Hang Soy Milk (阜杭豆漿), a breakfast spot popular with both locals and tourists. The unique salty soy milk and crispy dough sticks are hot favourites, though we heard the egg crepes were pretty good too.
