9 A.M. DOUJIANG AND YOUTIAO
For breakfast, start your stroll at the Taipei Fullerton, a boutique hotel on Fuxing South Road. From the hotel, turn left and cross Fuxing South Road. Soon, you'll hit a small strip of doujiang (soy milk) restaurants.
Head for the first one on the corner: Yonghe Doujiang Da Wang (Yonghe Soy Milk Emperor) at No. 102, next to a fire station. It takes its name from the suburb, Yonghe, where the original restaurant was located. Today, Yonghe-style breakfast joints are famous across the Chinese-speaking world.
The quintessential Yonghe-style breakfast is doujiang and youtiao -- soy milk and fried bread sticks. The soy milk comes cold or hot, spooned up from big vats near the entrance. If you want a more substantial breakfast, add the turnip cake with soy-based sauce (luo buo gao), a pancake-and-egg combo (shao bing jia dan), and crisp cakes (su bing), lightly baked, hollow thin cakes with sugar, sesame or peanut paste spread on the inside. You should be able to walk away with a full stomach for well under US$3.
上午9點:豆漿油條
首先去吃早飯:我們從臺北市復興南路上的馥敦飯店出發。出了飯店往左拐,穿過復興南路,很快你就會走到豆漿一條街。
直奔拐角處的第一家:緊鄰消防隊的102號──永和豆漿大王。豆漿店的名稱來源于“永和縣”這個地名,最早的永和豆漿店就開在那里。如今,永和風格的早餐連鎖店已經在華人世界聲名遠播。
永和早餐的精髓就是豆漿和油條。豆漿裝在一進門的大容器中,既可冷喝也能熱飲。如果你想要吃一頓更豐盛的早餐,還可以再來一塊蘿卜糕、燒餅夾蛋或者是酥餅。只要花上不到3美元,你就能夠吃得飽飽的。
