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点:豆浆油条
首先去吃早饭:我们从台北市复兴南路上的馥敦饭店出发。出了饭店往左拐,穿过复兴南路,很快你就会走到豆浆一条街。
直奔拐角处的第一家:紧邻消防队的102号──永和豆浆大王。豆浆店的名称来源于“永和县”这个地名,最早的永和豆浆店就开在那里。如今,永和风格的早餐连锁店已经在华人世界声名远播。
永和早餐的精髓就是豆浆和油条。豆浆装在一进门的大容器中,既可冷喝也能热饮。如果你想要吃一顿更丰盛的早餐,还可以再来一块萝卜糕、烧饼夹蛋或者是酥饼。只要花上不到3美元,你就能够吃得饱饱的。
