周家豆腐捲 — Restaurant in Xinyi District

【周家豆腐捲】如同許多的網路名店或排隊名店，新鮮感是最大的動機 (bilingual 🆎)

📍 在小巷子裡，旁邊是光復市場，不趕時間的話可以順便逛逛光復市場

💸 價位：豆腐捲35元，高麗菜肉包20元，店內最貴的是牛肉捲餅90元，在現在越來越昂貴的早餐中，算是中等。現在在台灣吃一頓滿足的早餐會比午餐還貴

🧾 點餐方式：在櫃檯點完餐，櫃檯人員馬上準備你的東西，然後付錢

🍴 用餐環境：⭐️️ (滿分五顆星)；疫情起有開放內用，疫情已經過去一段時間仍沒有開放內用，附近沒有什麼地方可以買去好好坐著吃(見下方照片)

🧑🏻‍🍳 服務：⭐️⭐️⭐️ (滿分五顆星)；態度尚可，但我在排隊時發現雖然他們員工很多，但好像偶爾搞錯客人的東西，沒想到輪到我時，我也中獎，我其中一樣是點韭菜肉包，但我後來才發現他們給我高麗菜包（因為無法內用，無法即時發現)

🌯 美食指數 (CP值)：⭐️⭐️⭐️️ (滿分五顆星)；考量價位與口感之間的平衡，稍微略貴

🧂 以下三樣食物如果沒有加醬油或辣椒醬或其他醬味道都算淡，他們之前還有提供內用時還可以加調味料，買完後記得在櫃檯旁邊桌子加完調味料再離開 (請見照片)

🫔 豆腐捲：裡面主角是高麗菜與豆腐，淡淡的鹹味是主要調味，有淡淡的豆腐香與高麗菜的微甜，喜歡食物原味的朋友應該會喜歡；麵皮是用鐵板現煎的，有一定的硬度與嚼勁，但不會對嘴巴造成勞累

🫔 韭菜盒：韭菜味道雖然比高麗菜重，但因為調味很淡，所以其實整體味道不重，要感謝裡面的小蝦米，在提味上，它幫了大忙，讓韭菜的味道層次增加；而裡面的冬粉則擔任口腔內摩擦係數的緩衝，增加更多不同口腔肌肉力量咀嚼的感受層次，不然會很無聊；麵皮是用鐵板現煎的，有一定的硬度與嚼勁，但不會對嘴巴造成勞累

🥬 高麗菜肉包：沒想到他們給錯我的項目，卻是三樣當中最好吃的，沒辦法，我是肉食主義者，哈哈，高麗菜的清甜與豬肉的肉汁協和地交融，肉香在口腔內化開來，包子皮厚度與柔軟度適中

🥤 冰紅茶：我買這杯是純解膩、解渴用，沒有特別深的感受，我很久沒有在早餐店喝到讓人驚艷的紅茶了 😞

👤 總體印象：值得一試，但要專程再去第二次除非是剛好有經過；然而，在台北市這個寸土寸金房租高昂的地方，許多早餐店都是美而美那一掛的：幾乎都用同一家或同幾家供應商的漢堡麵包、麵條、鐵板麵調味料包，吃起來都差不多 (難吃/普通)，因此像周家豆腐捲這樣與眾不同的傳統味早餐店便脫穎而出，值得去吃一下；不過如果它開在台南那種早餐的天堂之城，又不一樣了 (對比效應)

📍 地址：110 台北市信義區光復南路419巷106號 ⏰ 營業時間：星期一至週日 6:00-15:00 🗺️ Google Map: https://g.co/kgs/tyS3yNN

【Zhou Family Tofu Rolls】Like many famous online or queue-worthy eateries, where novelty is the biggest draw (bilingual 🆎)

📍 Tucked away in a small alley, next to Guangfu Market, it's a good spot to browse Guangfu Market if you're not in a hurry.

💸 Price: Tofu rolls are 35 NTD, cabbage meat buns are 20 NTD, and the most expensive item, beef roll cakes, are 90 NTD. Considering the increasing prices of breakfast, these are mid-range. Nowadays, a satisfying breakfast in Taiwan could cost more than lunch.

🧾 Ordering method: Order at the counter, and the staff will immediately prepare your items, then you pay.

🍴 Dining Environment: ⭐️ (out of 5 stars); dine-in was available before the pandemic, and it's been a while since the pandemic passed but dine-in still hasn't reopened, leaving no convenient places nearby to sit and eat properly (see photo below).

🧑🏻‍🍳 Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (out of 5 stars); the attitude was decent, but I noticed while in line that despite having many staff, they occasionally mixed up orders. To my surprise, I also experienced this when my order for a chive meat bun turned out to be a cabbage bun (since there was no dine-in, the mistake wasn't discovered immediately).

🌯 Food Index (Value for Money): ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (out of 5 stars); slightly on the pricier side considering the balance between price and taste.

🧂 The following three items taste quite bland without soy sauce, chili sauce, or other condiments. When dine-in was available, you could season to taste. Remember to add condiments at the table next to the counter before leaving (see photo).

🫔 Tofu Roll: The main ingredients are cabbage and tofu, with a light saltiness being the primary seasoning, giving a subtle tofu aroma and a hint of cabbage sweetness. Those who appreciate the natural flavors of food might enjoy this; the wrap is pan-fried on a griddle, offering a certain firmness and chewiness without being tiring to eat.

🫔 Chive Box: Although the chive flavor is stronger than cabbage, the overall taste is not heavy due to light seasoning. The tiny shrimp inside do a great job of enhancing the flavor, adding depth to the chive taste; the glass noodles inside act as a buffer for the oral friction coefficient, adding more layers to the chewing experience, which would otherwise be dull; the wrap is pan-fried on a griddle, offering a certain firmness and chewiness without being tiring to eat.

🥬 Cabbage Meat Bun: The item they mistakenly gave me turned out to be the best of the three. No choice, I'm a carnivore, haha. The sweetness of the cabbage and the juiciness of the pork blend harmoniously, with the meaty aroma spreading in the mouth. The bun's thickness and softness...

Just happened to find this place walking just past the Guangfu Market and saw a constant line of people waiting for food so of course we had to check it out. Not much seating but most people just take out anyways. Maybe seating for about 7-9 people max. We bought 3 soy milk drinks, a couple of their chives pockets, a chives pancake and a pork bun. Everything was very fresh and surprisingly not greasy. I think the total bill only came out to $4 USD which just adds to the appeal of this place. This restaurant is a great example of a place that serves only a few things but does them extremely well. Didn't get to try their tofu wrap but...

this has been on the to try list for quite some time, but have never been in Taipei early enough. finally got the chance.

tried their signature "tofu veggie calzone" 豆腐卷 (TWD 30). filling was a delicious mixture of somewhat oily chopped cabbage and tofu. the shell was marginally crispy but quite thin. rather good overall but given the amount of filling wasn't very dense and neither tofu nor cabbage are exactly expensive ingredients, it's rather overpriced. the provided chili oil did not appear to have much kick....
