Madou District, Tainan City｜阿蘭碗粿

Nice local food. Famous in Tainan, Taiwan 🇹🇼. Its a Must try. Everyday full house n long queue

Look for a blue cover over the building! Walk in and next door has seating as well. there is AC and fans blowing so it’s not too warm. Grab a tray and wait in line. Grab the steamed rice cake, they’ll ask what soup and you can pick or get both, and then pick the rest. Sit and eat. They’ll clean up your bowl. You can help by putting them together though! This place is known for wa guei (steam rice cake). It’s like a savory mochi texture with meat and egg in a bowl. It’s a Very delicious. Highly recommend if you are willing to try new items. Pork blood soup - lots of chunks of pork blood. It’s squishy/firm at the same time and does not taste like anything if bitten into. It’s the texture that gets you. I like it though! Would recommend to try if open to it! Can add white pepper in the soup for more flavor! Peanut soup - very generous with their peanuts. Add white pepper for more flavor! Chives: pretty good but was a bit hard to chew and swallow. Parking: difficult if you have a car.

The portion of the bowl is large and solid, and almost everyone takes two bowls. It is to take an empty tray to get the food you want, and then find a seat after paying at the counter. If the first floor is full, there are more places on the second floor. Preserved egg tofu and pig blood soup are also very good, traditional and delicious taste that foreigners also like. There is dedicated parking space across the street.
