Wenshan District, Taipei City｜獨特花生湯

This is a fantastic place! I live in Taiwan since 2 years and in that time I tried countless 鹹豆漿，but this is probably the best I found. It's so creamy, almost like a porridge. The bits of 油條 inside are perfectly crispy, not too oily, the amount is just right; the small pieces of radish add a nice crunch. The signature peanut soup is not too sweet and has a nice marzipan/杏仁-flavor to it. The basil 九層塔蔥抓餅 has a nice balance between gooey and flakey and it's filled with generous amounts of basil. The 菜包子 is fluffy and with lots of different fillings, and last but not least the 蔥燒餅 is killing it: wonderfully fluffy but rich yeast dough, lots of flavorful and juicy spring onion, just the right amount of salt. When you hold it you don't have a feeling of bathing your hands in tons of oil as is often the case in other places. It says on the menu that the bread is only available after 1am but in my case I saw it already when I came around midnight, so it's worth to ask. The complimentary sauces are nice, too! Staff is friendly and upbeat.

The omelette is delicious, it is the old-fashioned kind with thick skin and chopped green onion, it is a must-order every time you come! The leek box is also very tender, juicy and full of aroma, the soy milk is very rich and full of aroma, and the fried dough sticks will make you go to heaven. And the service attitude is very kind, and the greeting is like home. It is definitely the first choice of soymilk shops nearby! But... Xiaolongbao series is not recommended, it is very hard, the skin is thick, let alone the soup... there is no meat at all.

The signature peanut soup is sweet but not greasy, and the soy milk is also rich in aroma. The meals are generally good and worth a try.
