"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

Soooooooo…… I really wanted to LOVE this but I only liked it at best. Would I come back? Probably not. The wait is very long because they make it fresh person (which is great) but be prepared to wait. The line extends onto the main road so it’s a bit dangerous. The actual fantuan…. Love the purple rice. Love that you can mix and match the rice. The filling was generous as in you get a lot but… because of that… it gets very dry. The toppings didn’t mesh together so it didn’t fall out but the flavors were good when you ate it together but just very dry. I probably wouldn’t come back and wait 40 minutes for this.

The fantuan here is enormous! There wasn’t a long line, and the wait time was only about 10 minutes. It was freshly prepared, filled with an abundance of ingredients, and wrapped in flavorful purple rice. It tasted absolutely amazing. However, the drink was nothing out of the ordinary.

Delicious!! I had a Taiwanese friend help me order, but they had a English menu so they’re def welcome to tourists ordering. Highly recommend! The line got long pretty quickly after we came 9:30AM~ but it had a bunch of locals so we knew it’d be good!

This place has incredibly reasonable prices and the portions are generous. However, be prepared for a long wait as the line moves quite slowly. It's good food, and definitely worth trying. I'd recommend it more enthusiastically if the wait wasn't so long

The food is so so good. Its taiwanese kind of kimbab. They have so many choice of main filling and 2 choice of rice (standard an purple rice). I try the tuna corn kimchi and pork chop filling. The size also super big that it can be for 2 people. Really worth to try 👍👍

I was craving for rice roll and found this one! Specially visited one day before I left Taipei. It was tasty. I would definitely visit again!

I loveee their Fantuan. The option for purple rice or even mixed is perfect. The portion is big and good varieties of fillings. I had Korean kimchi with pork chop and it’s great. The texture of chewy rice, fried dough, kimchi, and the pork was perfect, nice and balancing flavor too There is usually a line with about it 10-20 mins wait time but surely worth it :) Will definitely

the ingredients were abundant, the flavor was good, I was expecting the rice to be more soft though.
