Liu Mama Fantuan

Meet the Icons of Taipei’s Renowned Street Food Scene | Eater

"A long-running, family-run breakfast stall famous for fan tuan — sticky purple or white rice wrapped around savory fillings. The signature version layers a fried dough stick, pickled turnip root, stewed egg, and pork floss, and can be made vegetarian or vegan on request; other popular variants include pork cutlet with kimchi, seaweed with burdock root, and a deluxe roll with pork cutlet, tuna, corn and more. The proprietor has operated at this location for over a decade, keeps the place busy with help from her children, and prides herself on the shop’s widespread local reputation (it even draws celebrity visitors). Long lines of Taiwanese customers are a regular sign of quality." - Chris Horton
