Authentic Taiwanese breakfast fan tuan, soy milk & pastries
"After several years as a takeout-only operation, this classic Taiwanese breakfast spot in Monterey Park reopened its dining room and brought back one of the most charming places to spend a morning in the SGV. The diner-esque space comes complete with old men reading the newspaper and food that hits your table quickly. Get the fan tuan if it’s your first time, a sticky rice burrito stuffed with eggs, pickles, and fried dough, plus the pan-fried omelet wrapped in a crepe-like pancake. Pair them with a bowl of freshly made soy milk too, available sweet or salty (we like sweet to balance out the savory)." - cathy park, sylvio martins, brant cox, andrew ryce
"After several years as a takeout-only operation, this classic Taiwanese breakfast spot in Monterey Park reopened its dining room and brought back one of the most charming places to spend a morning in the SGV. The diner-esque space oozes comfort from every corner, complete with grumpy old men reading the newspaper and food that hits your table quickly. Get the fan tuan if it’s your first time, a sticky rice burrito of sorts stuffed with eggs, pickles, and fried dough, plus the pan-fried omelet wrapped in a thin, crepe-like pancake and a beef roll with pickled greens for good measure. Wash it down with a bowl of fresh soy milk, available sweet or salty (we usually go sweet to balance out the savory)." - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder, cathy park
"Huge Tree Pastry specializes in fan tuan, a Taiwanese breakfast dish that consists of glutinous rice wrapped around a crispy rod of youtiao, pork floss, pickled mustard greens, and egg. The total cost for this utterly delicious and filling delight is only $5.50. Huge Tree Pastry is cash-only." - Eater Staff
"Don’t take it personally if staffers are a bit gruff at Huge Tree Pastry. The outstanding Taiwanese breakfasts, pork pan-fried dumplings, and pan-fried leek pies make the trouble worth it." - Mona Holmes
