Saw good reviews about this place and decided to give it a try. Only have 3 words to summarize about this place: cheap, good, recommended! It is just a small push cart by the side of the road in front of this Japanese restaurant which had a pretty long queue. While waiting to cross the road I thought the queue was for this scallion pancake! Managed by a couple and their kid i guess, a very no frills stall where you just tell them how many you need and whether you want to add egg to it or not. Everything is made after taking order so the pancakes are really freshly made and scalding hot so don't eat immediately after getting it. So excited to give it a try but had to wait a while to cool down before eating. I have to say its such a simple snack yet it's so enjoyable. Loved how crispy it was and how fragrant the scallion was. The egg was quite generous though, looked bigger than just one egg itself. What I loved also was there were different varying levels of scallions, some were very well fried with a brown slightly burnt look and they elevated the taste of the pancake. It's so cheap and simple yet it tasted so good to warm the stomach on a cold rainy day. This place has no seats its purely for takeaways only. We were lucky there were no one ahead of us but more and more people came after we ordered and they really ordered more than 10 pieces at one go. Highly...
Read moreScallion pancakes are a classic Taiwanese snack, especially popular at stalls located behind train stations—a must-try for travelers. These pancakes are deep-fried, resulting in a crispy exterior and a unique texture. Typically, vendors incorporate an egg into the batter, with the yolk slightly runny to enhance the flavor. If you prefer your pancake without an egg, be sure to inform the vendor in advance so they can prepare it accordingly.
The accompanying sauce complements the pancake well, offering a mildly sweet taste. The chili sauce provides a moderate heat, pairing nicely with the scallion pancake. After enjoying a whole pancake, you might notice a slight greasiness on your lips. For those concerned about oiliness, it's advisable to blot the excess oil with a napkin before indulging, ensuring a lighter experience.
In summary, the scallion pancake stalls behind train stations offer an authentic taste of Taiwanese street food, making them well worth a visit for their distinctive flavor...
Read moreIt’s a cute food cart and not a restaurant. Located just outside the famous Japanese Sando House restaurant. The boss will pull the cart out roughly 1115am to set up and should be ready by 12pm or even earlier.
The setup looks ordinary but I’ve got to say that the pancakes are so...
