Ruifang District, New Taipei City｜九份阿牧包子

The shop is 7 years old and with a minimalist menu. The shop owner is very friendly and nice. The space is small, cozy, and has a bit Japanese vibe. I was experienced and tasted some dishes: - Xiaolongbao shell is very soft, chewy, and succulent with very fresh and tender meat. - Taiwan beef noodles with very clear and flavorful broth, soft and fresh beef, and handmade noodles, so they still have the fermented taste of flour. - Also try side dishes such as soy milk with sugar, fragrant and slightly sweet, smooth and greasy panna cotta that is a bit sweet. Highly recommend coming to this restaurant when you visit Jiufen.

Good freshly made taste with simple and natural ingredients. Not many choices for food but all are good, with some vegetarian options which are sweet. Soy milk also refreshing to combine with buns. The meat bun with pickled veggies tasted better to me, slightly spicy. Ask for spicy sauce if desired. A slight climb but nice sitting environment to rest and enjoy away from the bigger crowds.

We loved it that much we even ate here twice. Not only because the beef noodle soup and dumplings were awesomely delicious & cheap, but also cuz I like to support family run business.
