Shi Jie Soymilk King, Traditional breakfast restaurant in Fuxing Village, Taiwan
Shi Jie Soymilk King is a breakfast restaurant in Fuxing Village, Taiwan, known for its fresh soy milk and traditional Taiwanese morning dishes. The kitchen is open to view, so guests can watch steamed buns, pastries, and other items being made each day from scratch.
The restaurant opened in 1955, making it one of the oldest breakfast spots of its kind in the area. In 1975, it became the first restaurant of this type in Taiwan to stay open around the clock.
The restaurant is known for mixing northern Chinese and Taiwanese breakfast traditions, visible in dishes like green onion cakes and radish egg pastries. Guests can watch these items being made at the open kitchen, which gives a clear sense of how the food is prepared.
The restaurant is close to Dingxi MRT station, making it easy to reach by public transit. Menus are available in English, Japanese, and Korean, and guests pay after eating, so there is no need to rush.
The restaurant still bakes its shaobing pastries in a clay oven, a method rarely seen in modern breakfast spots. This technique gives the pastries a distinct crust and a faint smoky flavor that sets them apart from oven-baked versions.
